    October 12, 2015, Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country In Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not a bad combo.” Nice, Kid Rock. But what are either without radio? Motor City call letters including WCSX, WRIF, WOMC, WKQI, WJR, WWWW and WYCD have become famous over the years with help from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Steve Kostan and Arthur Penhallow, National Radio Hall of Famers Dick Purtan, J.P. McCarthy, Steve Dahl and Howard Stern, and Country Radio Hall of Famer Dr. Don Carpenter, to name a few. Not a bad pedigree. PPM market No. 12 is changing, though, especially with respect to Country. For starters, CBS Radio’s WYCD got its first direct challenger in four years when Cumulus Adult Hits WDRQ adopted the company’s Nash brand in late 2013 (Breaking News 12/13/13). And just a few weeks ago Carpenter ended his 10- year WYCD morning run, which led to other on-air changes at the station (CAT 8/5). Country Aircheck details some of those and checks WDRQ’s progress here.

  • Chapter 4 Nation Branding: Country Specific Evaluation

    Chapter 4 Nation Branding: Country Specific Evaluation

    Chapter 4 Nation Branding: Country Specific Evaluation Introduction The following chapter is an analysis of nation branding, both of its conceptual make-up and of specific examples of nation branding in practice. Nation branding is of particular salience as it represents ‘cultural diplomacy in action’, it also opens the door to discussions of the possible stereotyping of states and cultures and equally questions whether nation branding represents a genuine opportunity to encounter and understand the culture of a country. The examples that can be found in this chapter offer a genuine insight into how different countries with diverging (and often overlapping) histories attempt to break-through age-old perceptions and open themselves up to new ‘markets’ through reformed perceptions, both abroad and at home. Written by natives and residents of the countries, the following chapter includes such diverse examples as Argentina, which has fought to prove its cultural worth outside of South America. Germany is equally interesting, becoming one of the worlds most desired ‘brands’ with regards to fiscal stability and export quality, but which still in many ways suffers culturally from aspects of its modern history. Moldova, a relative obscurity on the fringe of Europe’s outer-limits yet, is given an opportunity through nation branding to provide the world with an in-depth look at its century’s old culture and appreciate its culinary successes. Finally, nation branding gives a state such as Zimbabwe, for many years paralysed in a continued economic and political crisis; the possibility to attach its name to materials used worldwide, such as tobacco.

ABSTRACT This study attempts to explain why ALL of South Korean presidents, without exception and notwithstanding their individual major contributions to the process of Korea’s development, have fallen victim to disgraceful downfalls. For the analysis, I employ S.N. Sangmpam’s middle-range theory that establishes a causal link between society-rooted politics and political outcomes. Building on his analytical frameworks that non-Western countries are characterized by over-politicization in politics as a function of social context, I argue that patterned downfalls of all Korean presidents are an institutional outcome of over-politicization in Korean politics, which is itself a function of not fully entrenched capitalist society. In support of my thesis, I test three hypotheses. Hypotheses one and two posit Korea’s tenacious traditional and cultural traits as an internal modifier of capitalism and the nation’s dependent nature of its relationships with the United States and Japan as an external factor that prevented capitalist entrenchment in Korean society.
