  • 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.

It is the right of the public to be informed, rather than any right on the part of the Government, any broadcast licensee or any individual member of the public to broadcast his own particular views on any matter, which is the foundation stone of the American system of broadcasting.1 INTRODUCTION Public funding for National Public Radio (“NPR”) has come under fire, yet again.

    Wisconsin Public Radio For Immediate Release Contacts: Jeffrey Potter, Marketing Director Ph: 608-890-3908 or [email protected] Sheryl Gasser, Program Director of The Ideas Network Ph: 608-263-4117 or [email protected] The Ideas Network Of Wisconsin Public Radio Announces New Weekday And Weeknight Schedule Madison, Wis. – As veteran host Kathleen Dunn retires, Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) announces the addition of 1A to The Ideas Network schedule beginning August 14. 1A will air from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, replacing The Kathleen Dunn Show. Science Friday will continue to be heard each Friday at 1 p.m. "Listeners who enjoyed The Kathleen Dunn Show will find 1A covers similar topics with a familiar in- depth approach,” said Sheryl Gasser, Program Director of The Ideas Network. “Joshua leans into topics like health care, immigration, science and pop culture in a way that is compelling and informative. We're excited to have his voice in Wisconsin." With a name inspired by the First Amendment, 1A explores the politics, technology and pop culture that connect and divide America today. Listeners can expect a mix of several segments in each hour while staying close to the news of the day. 1A is produced by WAMU in Washington, D.C. and distributed by NPR. “If it wasn't for Wisconsin, there might not be a ‘public radio’. We owe your state a lot!,” host Joshua Johnson said, referring to WPR’s centennial legacy as the oldest public radio station in the nation. “Hopefully 1A helps repay that debt with the kind of engaging, compelling and meaningful conversations you helped invent.” Johnson’s professional background has him well prepared to host 1A.

  • Keep up with WPR's Latest on COVID-19
    April 2020 ON AIR & ONLINE Keep Up With WPR's Latest On COVID-19 While COVID-19 dominates the news, WPR's reporters are bringing you diverse perspectives and unexpected stories. We brought you the voices of people across the state who ventured out to cast ballots in person on April 7, as our state’s election made national and even international news. Our Mike Simonson Investigative Reporting Fellow Bram Sable-Smith uncovered a surprising angle on healthcare, finding that Wisconsinites have been sued for medical debt even in the midst of the pandemic. And you’ve heard moments of joy, too, like this "Central Time" conversation with a Milwaukee doctor who’s recovered from COVID-19 and is donating his plasma, and a first-ever kids' edition of “The Morning Show.” This health crisis touches education, politics, religion, race and social equity, music and the arts, food, technology, and so much more. Keep listening to WPR, and visit wpr.org as well, for the latest news, and for these deeper and far-reaching stories about the people of Wisconsin in these challenging times. You can find a complete listing of our COVID-19 stories here. Photo courtesy of NPR Enjoy Live Virtual Concerts Curated By NPR Music We’ve heard from many listeners about how music has consoled you during this difficult time. You can still find NPR’s popular Tiny Desk Concerts, with musicians now broadcasting from their own homes (including rapper Black Thought, pictured above). The classical show about young musicians, “From the Top,” is promoting "Daily Joy," a series of brief live concerts on Facebook and other social platforms.
