  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Well…. here we go. This letter is supposed to be my turn to tell you about Saga, but this year is a little different because it involves other people telling you about Saga. The following is a letter sent to the staff at WNOR FM 99 in Norfolk, Virginia. Directly or indirectly, I have been a part of this station for 35+ years. Let me continue this train of thought for a moment or two longer. Saga, through its stockholders, owns WHMP AM and WRSI FM in Northampton, Massachusetts. Let me share an experience that recently occurred there. Our General Manager, Dave Musante, learned about a local grocery/deli called Serio’s that has operated in Northampton for over 70 years. The 3rd generation matriarch had passed over a year ago and her son and daughter were having some difficulties with the store. Dave’s staff came up with the idea of a ‘‘cash mob’’ and went on the air asking people in the community to go to Serio’s from 3 to 5PM on Wednesday and ‘‘buy something.’’ That’s it. Zero dollars to our station. It wasn’t for our benefit. Community outpouring was ‘‘just overwhelming and inspiring’’ and the owner was emotionally overwhelmed by the community outreach. As Dave Musante said in his letter to me, ‘‘It was the right thing to do.’’ Even the local newspaper (and local newspapers never recognize radio) made the story front page above the fold. Permit me to do one or two more examples and then we will get down to business.

  • No Labels, Please! Music Is Evolutionary Process for Cockburn Meyers Sharp, Jo Ellen
    7/7/15, 9:04 PM Back to previous page document 1 of 1 No labels, please! Music is evolutionary process for Cockburn Meyers Sharp, Jo Ellen. Indianapolis Star [Indianapolis, Ind] 25 Oct 1994: C.5. Abstract (summary) Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49- year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States. Down at the bus station Shark grins and sandpaper conversations Men's faces women's bodies on the magazine stand And a headline about Sarajevo and Tehran.

The inability to pigeon-hole Bruce Cockburn and his style of music can make him a hard sell. Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49-year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States. He gained some recognition in this country with the release in 1984 of Stealing Fire and the protest anthem If I Had A Rocket Launcher. His popularity, however, has increased in recent years http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy.ilibrary.org/indianapolisstar/printviewfile?accountid=46127 Page 1 of 6 7/7/15, 9:04 PM with the development of adult album alternative stations on radio. Bloomington's WTTS-FM (92.3), for example, has regularly played cuts from Cockburn's lastest disc, Dart to the Heart, and his 1991 release, Nothing But A Burning Light.

Allen Finchum Dissertation Adviser Dr. Brad A. Bays Dr. Jonathan C. Comer Dr. Thomas Lanners Outside Committee Member ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation and my doctoral program at Oklahoma State University would not have been possible without the support of many people over the past ten years. I would like to start with my advisor and chair, Dr. Allen Finchum, who not only happens to share my interest in smooth jazz, but has always been there for me. One could not ask for a better mentor, as he was always so giving of his time, whether we were discussing my research, talking about my experiences as a graduate instructor, or him just taking an interest in my personal life. I feel blessed to have been able to work with such a special graduate committee, comprised of Dr. Jon Comer, Dr. Brad Bays, and Dr. Tom Lanners. Dr. Comer sparked my passion for quantitative methods and spatial analysis, and Dr. Bays taught my very first course at OSU, a wonderful and stimulating seminar in historical geography. With Dr. Lanners, I could not have asked for a better fit for my outside committee member, and I feel privileged to have been able to work with a musician of his caliber.

    Before the COPYRIGHT ROYALTY BOARD LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Washington, D.C. ) In the Matter of ) 1 ADJUSTMENT OF RATES AND TERMS FOR ) Docket No. 2006-1 CRB DSTRA PREEXISTING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ) AND SATELLITE DIGITAL AUDIO RADIO ) SERVICES ) TESTIMONY OF DAN NAVARRO Recording Artist, Songwriter, Performer rand an Artist Member of SoundExchange PUBLIC VERSION October 2006 PUBLIC VERSION DECLARATION OF DAN NAVARRO I. Background and Qualifications I am a recording artist, performer, songwriter, and an artist member of SoundExchange. I understand that the Copyright Royalty Board in this proceeding will set the rates that the satellite radio services (XM and Sirius) and several services that stream music over television (such as Muzak) pay to copyright owners and performers for the digital performance of sound recordings. Because the law requires that 50% of these digital performance royalties be paid to recording artists, I believe it is important for the Board to hear about the importance of the statutory license and royalties from an artist's perspective. For twenty years, my partner, Eric Lowen, and I have written and recorded songs, released albums, and toured. We met in the 1980's when we were both working as waiters and trying to make it as musicians. After several years of relative obscurity, our live shows in Venice, California, which featured nothing more than our voices and acoustic guitars, began to generate crowds and a buzz around our music. We were part of an emerging so-called "Nu- Folk" scene in Los Angeles at the time. In 1989, we were offered what we thought might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to record an album.
