I'm Ines Casillas from UC Santa Barbara and someone who's been researching and writing about Spanish language radio, in the U.S. specifically, for the past five years. So I'm very excited about the possibility of this caucus. So what we're going to do, we're going to start with two of us who do more U.S.-based, kind of, Spanish language radio, work our way to two others who do more border-related, and then end up in Latin America, okay? So my research highlights how U.S. Spanish language radio across the 20th century has really capitalized, very lucratively, on the conversation around immigration.

  • Kern Community Radio
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Amendment of Section 73.3556 of the ) MB Docket No. 19-310 Commission’s Rules Regarding Duplication of ) Programming on Commonly Owned Radio Stations ) ) Modernization of Media Regulation ) MB Docket No. 17-105 Initiative ) Reply Comments of Kern Community Radio This reply comment is from nonprofit Kern Community Radio (“Kern”). Kern is a prospective non-commercial community broadcaster in Bakersfield, California. Kern is supplying this comment to shed light on the reality of how duplicated- and rebroadcast- programming is an epidemic. Redundant and relayed programming is hollowing-out local radio, vastly reducing programming diversity, and frustrating diverse new broadcast entrants. This reply is being filed as a response to National Association of Broadcasters’ (“NAB”) comment stating that diversity has increased on the dail, advocating the lift of the duplication rule. Kern provides proof in this reply that the program duplication rules need to be expanded to ensure local programming diversity and allow for new entrants. About Kern Community Radio Members of Kern Community Radio had desired to pursue a non-commercial, educational community radio station for Bakersfield in 2006 due to the total absence of any local local secular non-commercial radio. Bakersfield, a metropolitan area of roughly 840,000 people, does not have one local-studio secular, non-commercial radio station. That includes no secular LPFM, no local-content NPR station,1 no community station, or no college station. The entire non-commercial FM band except for one station is all relayed via satellite from chiefly religious broadcasters from Texas, Idaho, and Northern California.

  • 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.

With social media-driven influence of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election dominating headlines and with six Latin American (LA) national elections in 2018, there is concern that SMDIO may impact elections. “Social media” in LA encompasses platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, and related messaging platforms.

These ties can be retraced as far back as messengers for political leaders in ancient times and have been the subject of much debate recently in regards to social media and their political implica- tions. Radio in Revolution by J. Justin Castro1 discusses this relationship from the perspective of the use of radio from the end of the Diaz reign to the beginning of the Cárdenas era. The book brings together the analysis of radio as a communication technology, mostly for military purposes, with that of radio as a mass media through broadcasting.
