Our sincere thanks are extended to the sponsors of the 94th Arizona Town Hall. Contributing Sponsors Associate Sponsors Town of Sahuarita July 2009 The 94th Arizona Town Hall convened in April 2009 to develop consensus recommendations addressing our state’s transportation needs. It has been 25 years since a Town Hall was held in Southern Arizona, and the Tucson venue was the first time ever for a statewide Arizona Town Hall. An important element to the success of these consensus-driven discussions is the background report that is provided to all participants. For the 94th Town Hall, Arizona State University prepared a comprehensive background report that informed and guided the discussions at the Town Hall and that will serve as a valuable resource for the future. ASU consistently has shown its leadership in bringing together resources to address critical issues facing Arizona. Our sincere thanks are extended to Michael Kuby and Aaron Golub who spearheaded this effort and served as contributing authors, marshaled top talent to write individual chapters, and ensured all deadlines were met. For sharing their wealth of knowledge and professional talents, our thanks go to the many authors who contributed to the report. The Town Halls could not occur without the financial assistance of our generous sponsors. We are especially grateful for our Contributing Sponsors, Arizona Public Service/Pinnacle West Capital Corporation and Union Pacific. We also deeply appreciate our Associate Sponsors, American Council of Engineering Companies of Arizona, HDR Inc., KDA Creative, Raytheon, RBC Capital Markets, Regional

  • The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: an Analysis of Interviews From
    Running head: THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication May 2014 By Shawn L. Denevan Thesis Committee: Dr. Arthur Challis, Ed.D, Chair Dr. L. Paul Husselbee, Ph.D Dr. Matthew H. Barton, Ph.D ` THE POTENTIALLY BRIGHT FUTURE OF RADIO ii The Potentially Bright Future of Radio: An Analysis of Interviews from Radio Professionals Regarding Radio's Past, Present and Future Shawn Lee Denevan Dr. Arthur Challis, Thesis Supervisor Abstract Speculation regarding the viability of radio's future presents itself whenever a new audio medium is put forward as a possible competitor to radio. From TV, FM radio, CDs, cassettes, Satellite radio and now Internet radio, AM/FM terrestrial radio has been predicted to "die" at the hand of these competitors numerous times since radio's inception. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the way radio operated as a business. Technology has changed the way radio stations program content. The Internet has provided new audio competition for radio. This study examines the role of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, changes in content and programming, and technology that continues to affect the way radio is perceived as a business and as a medium. An analysis of interviews from radio professionals—whose careers in the radio business may span from before the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to the present, and who have the insight and knowledge to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of radio's past and present—suggests that radio has a bright future if radio can return, in portion, to its past programming ideals of being live, local, and relevant to the communities it serves.
