  • 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.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service Further N
    Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. In the matter of: Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) MB Docket No. 13-249 Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ) FCC 15-142 ) COMMENTS OF DU TREIL, LUNDIN & RACKLEY, INC. The engineering consulting firm of du Treil, Lundin & Rackley, Inc. (“dLR”) hereby submits these comments in response to the Commission’s Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that was issued as item IV of the First Report and Order in the above-captioned proceeding on October 23, 2015. In that Further Notice, the Commission solicited comments on its various specific proposals that are listed topically herein. We have reviewed the Further Notice and we strongly support the Commission’s goal of revitalizing the AM radio service. Based on experience from the 75 year history of providing engineering consulting services to the licensees of AM radio stations of our firm and its direct predecessors, we intend with these comments to provide focused analysis of the Commission’s specific proposals related to AM transmission standards and other matters related to licensing of AM stations which we believe to be very important for AM revitalization. We believe that the present matters need to be considered on a solid foundation of engineering facts. We intend to base our comments on such facts. Decisions need to be made based on facts, rather than uninformed speculation or wishes that things were other than the way they are. A “big picture” focus is needed, with what is best for the public and the AM radio service in view rather than a myopic look at what is best for special interests.
