WAMC Program Guide October 2015 - Volume 21 Issue 10 Here Comes The October Fund Drive! The Drive October Programming Notes Alan S. Chartock Katie Britton WAMC President and C.E.O. WAMC Programming and Outreach Director The crucial, life-giving fund drive begins Monday A candid conversation about personal finance October 5th. I don’t have to tell anyone that this is where we live. No fund drive, no station. Well, the mums and foliage are giving us that last shock of color before we enter the winter The themes are always the same: “We can’t do it doldrums and what better way to celebrate the without you” and “We’re all in this together.” As I turning of the seasons than getting out of our see it, these two assertions are truth. We are nothing homes to enjoy it. And boy, do I have an event for without each and every listener. The model is for you to come to – and the best part is that it’s everyone to “get it” and to kick in. This is a FREE! community project. If and when everyone assumes ownership, we are made whole. On Thursday, October 15th at 7PM, WAMC, in partnership with WMHT and NPR, will be hosting We do have a good time on our reaffirming fund NPR Presents: Family Matters at the University at drives. They are hard but very gratifying. We love to Albany’s recital hall. This is your chance to get the hear from each one of you. It truly is like how we skinny on some import ant issues and ask your used to feel when we were going back to camp. questions about the financial pressures you’re There are old friends, good food, and good feelings facing. And what’s an event without some as we do what we have all done so well as a group. I awesome famous people in attendance? Our hosts am always gratified when we hear from both old and for the evening are none other than NPR Morning new friends. There is nothing that makes me feel Edition host David Greene, and NPR Business better than when someone calls and says that they correspondent Yuki Noguchi. just got into town and have been listening and can’t believe how lucky they are to have found such an Greene and Noguchi will be joined on stage by personal finance experts Louis Barajas, founder Continued on page 2 and chief wealth and business manager at LAB Financial Life Solutions and Michelle Singletary, nationally-syndicated personal finance columnist I N S I D E T H I S I SSUE for the Washington Post, to help audience members gain greater confidence in their financial 3 Live at the Linda Broadcast Schedule futures. 4 WAMC Program Schedule at a glance The panel will discuss and help you navigate 5 Program Descriptions topics such as first-time loans as a college student, or a new mortgage as a third-time home buyer and 10 Underwriter Directory how both come with risks but also opportunities. 23 Underwriter Spotlight This live (and lively) event will be driven by an audience ready to talk strategy, so come prepared continued on page 3 WAMC Program Guide 1 Chartock continued from page 1 interesting radio station. WAMC-FM broadcasts 365 days a year to eastern New York and western New England on We were recently out in Asheville, North Carolina, at 90.3 MHz. Our studios and offices are in the inauguration of the fabulous former President of the Albany, NY. Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Mary Grant. I can’t tell you how many people came up to us to tell us The WAMC transmitter is located atop Mount how important WAMC is in their lives. People tell us Greylock in Adams, MA. The WAMC-AM that they listen to our streaming on their computers or transmitter is located in Albany, NY. WAMK’s iPhones, no matter where in the world they happen to be. transmitter is located on Overlook Mountain, Woodstock, NY. All this goes to prove that if everyone listening contributed, the drive could be over in minutes. So why WAMC transmits on these frequencies: doesn’t this happen? I have always contended that WAMC, 90.3 FM, Albany, NY people actually love the WAMC fund drives. It is a time WAMC 1400 AM, Albany NY to let our hair down and talk to each other; to say WAMK, 90.9 FM, Kingston, NY whether we like the opera or hate it; to offer political WOSR, 91.7 FM, Middletown, NY opinions along with the pledges. There is energy and a WCEL, 91.9 FM, Plattsburgh, NY real time feel during the fund drive that is unique in all WCAN, 93.3 FM, Canajoharie, NY of public radio. WANC, 103.9 FM, Ticonderoga, NY WRUN-FM, Remsen-Utica, NY I’ve always found it interesting that after making WAMQ, 105.1 FM, Great Barrington, MA $100,000 a day all week, at the very end of the drive, WWES, 88.9 FM, Mt. Kisco, NY there have been times when we just can’t get the last few thousand dollars. I have always thought that’s because WANR, 88.5 FM, Brewster, NY there are people who so enjoy the drives that they don’t WANZ, 90.1, Stamford, NY want to see them end. After all, these drives are the ultimate human drama. I’ve done an awful lot of them, Translators: probably a hundred or more since we first started to W280DJ, 103.9 - Beacon, NY “Save Our Station (SOS)” in 1979. We did it then and W247BM, 97.3 - Cooperstown, NY we’ve done it ever since. In the meantime, we have been W292ES, 106.3 - Dover Plains, NY together as President Bush sent troops into Iraq under W243BZ, 96.5 - Ellenville NY very dubious pretenses. We were all together when that W271BF, 102.1 - Highland, NY guy bought a tee-shirt that proclaimed “Peace on Earth,” W246BJ 97.1 - Hudson, NY and was promptly arrested in the very mall where he W204CJ, 88.7 - Lake Placid, NY W292DX, 106.3 – Middletown, NY purchased the shirt. W215BG, 90.9 - Milford PA W299AG, 107.7 - Newburgh, NY Then there was the Mario Cuomo valedictory after he W211CE, 90.1- Oneonta, NY lost an election to George Pataki, the very same George W257BL, 99.3 - Oneonta, NY Pataki who tried to eliminate WAMC’s share of the W240CR, 95.9 - Peekskill, NY small amount of money that the state gives to every W226AC, 93.1 - Rensselaer-Troy, NY public radio station, in a thinly veiled attempt to get even W225BM, 92.9 - Scotia, NY for keeping Mario on the air after he lost the election. In W296BD, 107.1 - Warwick, NY each case, we hung together and kept the great station going. Surface mail: WAMC Box 66600 So, as we approach the October 5th fund drive let us all Albany, NY 12206-6600 remember that we are part of a very important group of people who have made a radio station and who will keep Phone: 1-800-323-9262 it open. I love you all and know that you get it. I am so E-mail: [email protected] privileged to be here and I hope that we will keep it Web: www.wamc.org going forward. It is only when we turn our backs on Facebook: www.facebook.com/WAMCradio something that we cherish that we lose our way. - Alan Twitter: twitter.com/WAMCRadio WAMC Program Guide 2 Programming Notes continued from page 1 with questions! We’ll be discussing things like accumulating debt and amassing wealth, saving for WAMC Executive Staff college, home ownership, retirement planning and even fitting in a midlife extravagance or two. Alan Chartock – President and CEO Dona Frank-Federico– Chief of Staff Now here’s a secret -- not only is the date of this fabulous event October 15th but it’s my birthday, too. I can’t think Selma Kaplan – Senior Advisor of a better way to begin a new year of my life than Pat Cooney – Vice Pres., Operations attending this event with our listeners. I know in my [cough] decade, I have a ton of financial matters that need Joe Donahue – Vice Pres., News / Programming tending to including huge student loans, a mortgage, and family planning, and I have no clue to get the latter with the former hanging over my head. So, I’ll ask the experts! Management Staff Michelle Battle – Database Manager So please join me, NPR’s David Greene and Yuki Noguchi for this free event by signing up at Felicia Berke – Membership Director www.nprpresents.org.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

    North Country Regional Economic Development Council Tourism Destination Area Nomination Workbook New York’s North Country Region North Country New York [TOURISM DESTINATION AREA NOMINATION WORKBOOK] Why is tourism important to the North Country? Tourism offers the most viable opportunity to diversity and ignite the North Country economy by capitalizing on existing demand to attract a wide variety of private investment that will transform communities. Tourism is already a $1 billion industry in the North Country and with its low upfront investment cost and quicker return on investment that many other industries, it is well- positioned to drive a new North Country economy as well as complement other strategic clusters of economic activity. Year-round tourism promotes a more sustainable, stable economy and more jobs; it’s the most likely growth industry for this region and will help recruit other types of investment. The region has a history of hospitality and several successful tourism hubs in place and exceptional four-season outdoor recreational opportunities are poised to leverage private investment in lodging, restaurant, attraction and other types of tourism related venues. Recognizing the transformative potential that tourism has in the North Country, the Regional Economic development Council is advancing the following strategies: Put tools in place to attract private investment in tourism which will drive demand to revitalize and diversity communities and create a climate that will allow entrepreneurs to flourish. Develop tourism infrastructure to transform the Region by driving community development and leveraging private investment in tourism destination area communities and corridors. The key to these strategies is that they recognize and focus attention on the need to attract and foster development in attractions, facilities and infrastructure conducive to attracting the 21st century traveling public.

    Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks

    Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks Board of Directors The Board of Protect the Adirondacks took bold actions in 2011-12 to assure our viability in protecting this most sacred part of New York State. Two main organization changes Charles Clusen occurred: veteran Park activist Peter Bauer was hired as the Executive Director and the Chair building housing the Center for the Forest Preserve in Niskayuna was transferred to Union College. Lorraine Duvall Dale Jeffers Peter Bauer brings many years of experience in Adirondack Park advocacy and managing Michael Wilson grassroots non-profit organizations. Peter said “I feel very privileged to get the opportunity Vice-Chairs to join PROTECT. We’re faced with terrific challenges around the Park, from monitoring decisions by regulatory agencies to advocating for new Wilderness areas to protecting the Kenneth Strike Forest Preserve from motorized uses to protecting Park forests from clearcutting. PRO- Secretary TECT brings strong principles and political savvy to these issues so I’m confident that we can help to improve things.” David Quinn Treasurer Peter Borrelli, who negotiated the agreements with Union College on behalf of the PRO- Nancy Bernstein TECT Board in his capacity as senior advisor, said “The goals of the Board of Directors Anya Bickford were to retire debt associated with the construction and operation of the building, find a new Peter Borrelli use for the building compatible with the purposes intended by Schaefer and the Association John Caffry for the Protection of the Adirondacks, and maintain the library in the Capital District. This Dean Cook transaction will fulfill all three.” John Douglas Mary Lou Doulin Protecting Adirondack waters continued to be one of our main concerns.
