    Countdown to December 1, 2019 “On this Day in History” for Johnson City, Tennessee’s Sesquicentennial December On December 1, 1869, Johnson City “received its first charter from the state of Tennessee under the name of Johnson City.” (Source: Greater Johnson City A Pictorial History.) On December 1, 1966, Johnson City native Steve Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy. (Source: “Glimpses of Johnson City, Tennessee,” Community Relations Department, City of Johnson City, Tennessee.) On December 2, 1978, the Statler Brothers appeared with Barbara Mandrel at Freedom Hall. Tickets ranged in price from $5.50 to $7.50.

  • 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.

    The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio

    THE STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE OF POLITICAL TALK RADIO A Joint Report by The Center for American Progress and Free Press June 21, 2007 Center for American Progress Authors John Halpin, Senior Fellow and Executive Speechwriter James Heidbreder, Research Intern Mark Lloyd, Senior Fellow Paul Woodhull, Special Adviser Free Press Authors Ben Scott, Policy Director Josh Silver, Executive Director S. Derek Turner, Research Director Report Design and Layout, Center for American Progress Adorna Williams, Art Director Andrew Pratt, Special Assistant Shannon Ryan, Graphic Designer Introduction espite the dramatic expansion of viewing and listening options for consum- ers today, traditional radio remains one of the most widely used media Dformats in America. Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, reports that more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.”1 Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.2 Among radio formats, the combined news/talk format (which includes news/talk/ information and talk/personality) leads all others in terms of the total number of sta- tions per format and trails only country music in terms of national audience share.3 Through more than 1,700 stations across the nation, the combined news/talk format is estimated to reach more than 50 million listeners each week.4 As this report will document in detail, conservative talk radio undeniably dominates the format: ß Our analysis in the spring of 2007 of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top fi ve commercial station owners reveals that 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive.

WRVL announces expansion December 01, 2009 ¦ Sarah Funderburke Liberty University news and athletic events will soon be reaching the ears of 2 million more people. WRVL “Victory FM,” a non-commercial broadcast station on Liberty’s campus, will purchase four new full-power radio stations and two translator radio stations in North Carolina from Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa in Santa Ana, Calif. WRVL, at 88.3 in Lynchburg, Va., will begin streaming its broadcasts over the new stations in early February. WRVL airs the Flames Sports Network, local weather, music and top Christian radio programs, including “Focus on the Family” and “Answers in Genesis.” Although the new stations are located in North Carolina, they will allow Liberty’s broadcast network to reach several new areas in Virginia, including Virginia Beach, Suffolk and Newport News. “This has been the most exciting experience of my broadcast career,” said WRVL station manager Jerry Edwards. He said the expansion continues the dream of Liberty’s former chancellor, Jerry Falwell, Sr., who wanted to eventually broadcast WRVL in every city in Virginia and northern North Carolina.
