The mission of the stations is also small: Serving the campus, avoiding F-bombs. Small is the best way to describe the operating budgets for college stations. It is unusual to find a college station where the annual o...

Friday, June 3, 2016. THE INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF NBC’S 24/7 RADIO NEWS CHANNEL. NBC’s News and Information Service (NIS) began on June 18, 1975 with the boast “The Most Important Day in Radio History.” When NIS died eighteen months later, it was known as one of the biggest turds in American radio history.

SPARK!: CLASSICAL MUSIC IS DOING VERY WELL ON RADIO & IN DIGITAL MEDIA

http://acrnewsfeed.blogspot.com/2016/07/classical-music-is-doing-very-well-on.html

Thursday, July 14, 2016. CLASSICAL MUSIC IS DOING VERY WELL ON RADIO and IN DIGITAL MEDIA. A friend of mine who programs a Classical music station told me that Classical is “the ultimate oldies format.” Rather than go back to the 1960s or 70s like a contemporary music station, Classical stations take you back to the 1660s and 1770s. Then my friend quickly added “Much of the music is eternal but it is the performances, artists and recordings that are new.”. NEXT WEEK: SPRING 2016 DIARY MARKETS. According ...
