  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • 2014Annual Performance Report
    National Telecommunications Commission Regional Office No. V 2014Annual Performance Report 0 Looking back, 2014 proved to be another fruitful year for National Telecommunications Commission Region V (NTC Bicol) as we once again reaped the seeds we have painstakingly sown when we reached our second 100 Million mark in the sum of PhP 111,632,450.74. With a target set at PhP 82,375,191, NTC Bicol worked steadfastly to achieve this goal despite the limited MOOE budget of PhP 1.989 M, a significant decrease of 57.95% from 2013’s PhP 4.730 M allotment. Undeterred by this budgetary constraint, we were blessed to surpass the physical target set by the Commission by 35.52% and even exceeded the 2013’s outstanding income of PhP108,287,162.21 by PhP 3,345,288.53 or an increase of 3.09%. Towards the end of September 2014, NTC Bicol likewise saw the completion of the construction of the Two-Storey Radio Monitoring Building. After its blessing/inauguration held last December 6, 2014, this new structure now houses the Technical Section, Legal Section, Office of the Regional Director aside from the Monitoring Station of NTC Bicol. Aside from these remarkable feats, NTC Bicol likewise successfully accomplished the physical targets of the Commission. The following achievements are thus humbly submitted, to wit: a. FRONTLINE SERVICES. The number of licenses, permits and certificates issued last 2014 totalled to 15,208 which is 1.56% higher than the previous year’s 14, 975; radio stations inspected, validated or investigated is 4,412 higher than 2013’s 1,884 and higher than the annual target set at 3,590 or an increase of 22.90%; 95 frequency channel assignments were likewise made which is higher than the target at 60 or an increase of 58.33%.
