  • 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.

  • Station Ownership and Programming in Radio
    FCC Media Ownership Study #5: Station Ownership and Programming in Radio By Tasneem Chipty CRA International, Inc. June 24, 2007 * CRA International, Inc., 200 Clarendon Street, T-33, Boston, MA 02116. I would like to thank Rashmi Melgiri, Matt List, and Caterina Nelson for helpful discussions and valuable assistance. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of CRA International, Inc., or any of its other employees. Station Ownership and Programming in Radio by Tasneem Chipty, CRA International, June, 2007 I. Introduction Out of concern that common ownership of media may stifle diversity of voices and viewpoints, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has historically placed limits on the degree of common ownership of local radio stations, as well as on cross-ownership among radio stations, television stations, and newspapers serving the same local area. The 1996 Telecommunications Act loosened local radio station ownership restrictions, to different degrees across markets of different sizes, and it lifted all limits on radio station ownership at the national level. Subsequent FCC rule changes permitted common ownership of television and radio stations in the same market and also permitted a certain degree of cross-ownership between radio stations and newspapers. These changes have resulted in a wave of radio station mergers as well as a number of cross-media acquisitions, shifting control over programming content to fewer hands. For example, the number of radio stations owned or operated by Clear Channel Communications increased from about 196 stations in 1997 to 1,183 stations in 2005; the number of stations owned or operated by CBS (formerly known as Infinity) increased from 160 in 1997 to 178 in 2005; and the number of stations owned or operated by ABC increased from 29 in 1997 to 71 in 2005.

  • Rural Communities
    BROADCAST TELEVISION AND RADIO IN Rural Communities More than other demographics, rural communities within the United States continue to rely on free and local broadcast stations. Through broadcast stations, Americans in rural communities receive their news, weather, sports and entertainment at a local level. As such, broadcast television and radio remain a vital and irreplaceable resource to rural individuals across the United States. Rural Population Across the U.S. Rural America accounts for 72 percent of the United States’ land area and 46.1 million people.1 Maine and Vermont are the most rural states, with nearly two-thirds of their populations living in rural areas. The southern region of the U.S. contains nearly one-half (46.7 percent) of the rural population, with 28 million people residing in rural areas in these states.2 Broadcast Television The number of broadcast-only households in the United States continues to rise, jumping nearly 16 percent from 2016 to 2017.3 More than 30 million American households, representing over 77 million individuals, receive television through over-the-air broadcast signals.4 Over-the-Air Television Penetration in Rural Areas Americans in small television markets that include rural areas depend on over-the-air broadcasting at greater levels than the general American population. The table below provides the percentage of households in 10 rural designated market areas (DMAs) that rely on free over-the-air television.5 Broadcast Only TV Homes in Small DMAs Fairbanks (DMA 202) Idaho Falls-Pocatello (DMA 162) Butte-Bozeman (DMA 185) Missoula (DMA 164) Grand Junction-Montrose (DMA 187) Helena (DMA 205) Twin Falls (DMA 190) Bend, OR (DMA 186) Casper-Riverton (DMA 198) 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Source: Nielsen, October 2017 Over-the-air television provides immense local and informational program choice for rural and farming communities across the country.

  • The Late 1940S and Early 1950S: the Birth of Television and the Rebirth of Radio
    Group Four: The Late 1940s and Early 1950s: The Birth of Television and the Rebirth of Radio Transistor radio, 1954 The introduction of television into American households in the 1940s and 50s led many to predict the end of radio’s popularity. After all, people could now see the scenes they could only imagine when listening to radio shows. Many popular drama and comedy shows, including The Lone Ranger and Amos ’n Andy, left radio and were reborn on television, and many advertisers made the move with them. Listen to the short clip of the opening of the Lone Ranger radio show, which is followed by a clip of the opening of the television series. The major national radio networks, such as CBS and NBC, also shifted their focus to television in the early 1950s. As network radio programming went into decline, more of the programming decisions were made by local station owners. Many such owners realized they would have to drastically change their content to continue to attract listeners and advertising revenue. As a result, popular music became a major focus of radio broadcasting. By this time, the sound quality of recorded music had improved, and it could be broadcast with greater clarity than in the past. Artists and record labels also came to recognize the value of having their records heard on the radio, which could dramatically improve sales. Technological developments also changed listeners’ habits. Portable radios were increasingly common in the late 1940s. These new radios replaced the fragile and clumsy vacuum tubes used in earlier radios with small electronic transistors, making radios smaller, lighter, and able to run on battery power.

  • Producing Interactive Educational Radio Programs for Distance Education
    Producing Interactive Educational Radio Programs for Distance Education T. Volkan Yüzer, Ph.D Distance Education Department, College of Open Education Eskisehir Anadolu University TURKEY [email protected] Gülsün Kurubacak, Ed.D. Distance Education Department, College of Open Education Eskisehir Anadolu University TURKEY [email protected] Abstract: It is not surprising that the interactivity affects radio and its applications. Besides, after radio began its first broadcasting, new inventions affected its development two ways: 1) the first one was the technological developments of sciences. For instance, the invention of transistors made it possible to create very small radio machines, and also the use of FM broadcastings were able to deliver the first stereo programs, and 2) the last one is the program dimensions of radio broadcastings. The various program styles and formats of radio have been broadcasted gradually for many years, such as countless music, drama, entertainment, culture, documentary, sporting events, news or education programs. Both the technical dimensions and program producing processes of radio can affect the use of interactive educational radio programs. Accordingly, the main purpose of this article is to explain the infrastructure of interactive educational radio programs, and to introduce a framework about how to develop interactive educational radio programs in e-learning systems. Introduction Radio is one of the communication media invented in the information age, the 20th century. Because it had only voice, it was mentioned as an easy technology, but its invention almost took sixty years. James Clerk Maxwell (1860-1865) introduced the process of the idea of electromagnetic waves to people. In 1886, Heinricht Hertz proved Maxwell’s ideas with some laboratory tests.
