Rich Wood Multimedia, Easthampton, MA/New York, NY - Radio Station, Network & Syndication Consulting/Production Services/Talent Coaching - 10/2002 - Present Easthampton, MA 01027 Phone 413-454-3258 [email protected] SUMMARY: A broad-based, experienced broadcaster at both the radio station and network level with management, affiliate sales, creative programming and multi-market syndication experience. An extensive technical background in electronics, recording, satellite program delivery and “power user” computer status contributes to a thorough com- mand of all aspects of the industry. In all situations I’ve either been a team player or leader with a clear understand- ing of the importance of every department in a productively functioning radio station. Particularly important is a cooperative attitude toward advancing sales objectives in ways that benefit the client and the programming. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Rich Wood Multimedia, Easthampton, MA/New York, NY - Radio Station, Network & Syndication Consulting/Production Services/Talent Coaching - 10/2002 - Present Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline - Miami, FL - Weekend technology show - Self syndicated via Advanced Radio Network, XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio - The Money Pit with Tom Krautler - Weekend home improvement show - Self syndicated, XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio Radio-Studio Network/MOR Media - New York, NY - Program and feature delivery services via MP3 Liberty Radio (formerly Talk America Radio Networks), IDT Corporation, Newark, NJ Director - Senior Vice President Marketing/Operations - 10/2001- 9/2002 Responsible for all aspects of the network’s operation and programming. Oversaw, with Engineering, the network’s move from Las Vegas to Newark and the construction of state of the art studios. Responsible for all air talent, the affiliation department and coordination of sales and programming and converting the network from paid programming to ratings and sales driven shows. Company dramatically downsized by eliminating positions held by all experienced broadcast management Weekend programming was also eliminated and affiliation services moved to Israel. Doug Stephan Productions, New York, NY/Framingham, MA General Manager – 6/2001 - 10/2001 Took a 2 month “sabbatical,” then joined the company as an independent contractor running a New York office (as Rich Wood Multimedia) to handle talent advice and coordination of the three networks that cleared Doug Stephan’s Good Day show - Talk America and Radio America. After September 11th’s terrorist attack advertising dried up and, with Doug’s encouragement, I joined Talk America, effectively continuing with the show at the network level. WOR & WOR Radio Networks, Buckley Broadcasting Corp., New York, NY Director – 12/91 - 4/2001 Hired by WOR to create a satellite delivered radio network to distribute WOR, New York, programming. Developed all systems, procedures, advertising and marketing campaigns and affiliated all the early stations in the first 7 years. The network grew from one station (WOR) to a high of nearly 400 affiliates. A two hour program feed (The Dolans) grew to a full time, 24 hour network with 11 shows. Close cooperation was required with the Network’s sales agents, Premiere Radio Networks The WOR Radio Network is regarded among the top four Talk Networks in the industry. Since WOR provided the network’s programming I was intimately involved in WOR’s operation. Capital Cities/ABC, New York, NY Director, Station Relations – 2/89 – 11/91 Conducted all affiliation and station relations activities for Network Talk Programming. Programs included Sally Jesse Raphael, Tom Snyder, Dr. Joy Browne, Michael Jackson (from KABC), Bob Brinker and others. Delivered additional and upgraded station affiliations in all market sizes, particularly majors. Succeeded in increasing the Talk Radio Network affiliate base by more than 25% while retaining existing affiliates. An extensive adult format (AC, EZ, Talk) programming background was invaluable in providing a consultant-type service to stations. Operational problem solving, programming, ratings research/analysis and station positioning we all part of daily responsibilities. Free Flight Productions, New York, NY and Homer, AK Producer – 4/88 – 2/89 Producer of The End of the Road with Tom Bodett (of Motel 6 commercial fame). Weekly satellite delivered humor/ variety show airing on approximately 155 stations (40 in top 50 markets). Performed creative consultation, affiliate relations, recording before a live audience in Alaska, post production mixing and network preparation in New York. Position required monthly trips to Alaska for recording sessions. This startup had a pre-debut station lineup of 115 stations. WQCD, Tribune Broadcasting, New York, NY Program Director – 2/87 – 4/88 Performed all programming duties. Programmed music, supervised production department, coordinated promotional activities (contesting, TV/Print campaigns), directed 12 full and part-time announcers and related budgets. An exten- sive knowledge of computers and computer assisted music systems (Selector) gave station a genuine personality and musical identity it had lost. Station was Adult Contemporary. My suggestion that the format be changed to Smooth Jazz was ultimately implemented. Formerly WPIX-FM.

  • 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.

We have the most far-reaching contacts in the industry. Our staff, many of whom have had extensive experience working at all levels of the broadcast industry, has developed a well-deserved reputation for honesty, integrity, perseverance, and know-how in strategizing with our clients and working with the radio community in a results-oriented fashion. Unlike other firms, we will never book an interview in a small 10-watt station in a suburban city and label it as a booking in the big market nearby. By default, time and time again, we are booking the top-rated stations in targeted markets such as WINS-AM and WCBS-AM in New York or KNX-AM and KFWB-AM in Los Angeles. Network Radio Strauss Media Strategies has long-standing personal relationships with all of the national radio networks. We work on a regular basis with the ABC Radio Network, American Urban Radio Network, CBS Radio Network, CNN Radio, AP Radio, Fox News Radio, National Public Radio, Metro Networks, Voice of America, and the Westwood One Radio Network.

  • UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Media Release for Immediate Use November 7, 2011
    UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Media Release For Immediate Use November 7, 2011 CSRC develops methodology to measure hate speech on talk radio Home Rebecca Epstein, [email protected] Library 310.825.2363 Press Research A UCLA team of researchers have developed a replicable methodology to quantify hate People speech in commercial broadcasting—i.e., speech that expresses prejudice against ethnic, Links racial, religious, and/or sexual minorities. Giving In a groundbreaking pilot study conducted by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) in partnership with the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), the researchers documented language that may be constitutive of hate speech in thirty- to forty-minute segments from three politically conservative talk radio programs: The Lou Dobbs Show: Mr. Independent (syndicated by the United Stations Radio Networks), broadcast July 31, 2008; The Savage Nation (produced at KFMB 760 AM and syndicated by Talk Radio Network), broadcast July 24, 2008; and The John & Ken Show (KFI AM 640, Los Angeles), broadcast July 30, 2008. Using a new methodology that promises to advance understanding of the nature and prevalence of hate speech in commercial media, the research team found a significant incidence of speech that incorporates targeted statements against foreign nationals and members of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities. In addition to targeted statements, the study measured unsubstantiated claims, divisive language, and indexical terms (code words) related to political nativism. “Based on the evidence we uncovered, the programs reveal a distinct and recurring rhetorical pattern for targeting specific vulnerable groups,” said Chon Noriega, center director and UCLA professor of cinema and media studies.
