  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

    N.Z. RADIO New Zealand DX Times N.Z. RADIO Monthly journal of the D X New Zealand Radio DX League (est. 1948) D X September 2002 - Volume 54 Number 11 LEAGUE http://radiodx.com LEAGUE Compiled by Station Profile: Adam Claydon Classic Hits Radio Waitomo Te Kuiti Radio Waitomo 1ZW started on the 15th of March 1985. It was part of the Radio New Zealand commercial network broadcasting on 1170 kHz. On the 1st of August 1996 The Radio Network (TRN) bought Radio Waitomo, and it became a part of the Community Network (CRN), which is based in Taupo. On the 1st of December 2000 Radio Waitomo became part of the Classic Hits network and the station name was changed to Classic Hits Radio Waitomo. That meant the existing CRN feed from Taupo was replaced with the Classic Hits feed from Auckland. Classic Hits Radio Waitomo has now been broadcasting for over 17 years. The studios are located in a building on Taupiri Street in Te Kuiti. The transmitter is located near the Waitomo Caves. The station still only broadcasts on 1170AM and the coverage area is from Te Awamutu in the north, through Otorohanga and Te Kuiti, and down to Piopio and Aria in the south. Classic Hits Radio Waitomo is one of only three Classic Hits stations still on AM. My primary role at the station is breakfast host. I have been working there since January this year. I broadcast live from 6 to 10 am Monday to Saturday mornings (I have Sunday off!) From 10am until 6am the next morning we receive our announcers and music feed from Classic Hits in Auckland.
