Star 94 Changes It’s Tune, Tones Down “Throwbacks”
WSTR FM ("Star 94") has done some tinkering to its musical positioning. The station hasn't confirmed its change in tempo, but Radio Insight reports the station has shifted from oldies-based rhythmic AC to a more current, "brighter" adult contemporary presentation. Tracks by Taylor Swift, Huntr/X, and Justin Bieber were added to the music mix, which...
UK Telecoms Strategy written by a Degrowth Communist
This is getting predictable, but we do need to do a lot of nationalising.
Announcing My New Radio Show (a Love Letter to Public Access Television)
From Shaw Community Television on Channel 10 to Paper Tiger Television and the Manhattan Neighborhood Network, public access was original community media. Anybody, any channel, no notes from the network. In that spirit, I'm starting a self-hosted radio station built on AzuraCast, automated with a Python cron job pulling public domain recordings from the Internet Archive, and I'm going to try to show up and broadcast.
Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too
Pondering “You Get What You Give,” the one-hit wonder recorded by a guy smart enough to realize that it would be a one-hit wonder. It’s a survival story.
What Was ISDN?
For decades, the telephone industry supported a new technology designed to make copper lines more useful to the average consumer. It’s great—if you’re a voice actor.
Interference Wars
The electric vehicle finds itself in the middle of the big debate over the future of AM radio. Could the AM dial get pushed off to the side?
Tuned Out
Why children’s radio—a format once important enough that Disney undermined a competitor to dominate the radio dial—has largely disappeared from the airwaves.
Textbooks of the Air
Long before there were podcasts, there were attempts to use the radio as a way to distribute educational programming.
37’s Signals
Explaining why analog television sets never had a channel 37, despite TVs generally able to tune it. Turns out some scientists simply needed that channel more.
Not-So-Clear Channel
In a time of national crisis, an emergent broadcast radio giant, Clear Channel, banned a bunch of songs from the airwaves. Or did it?
Leavin’ The Light On
The strange, fascinating career of Tom Bodett, who parlayed NPR radio essays into the longest-running spokesperson gig around. Not that it’s all he does.
Buy, Don’t Rent
How the rent-to-own retail model, exemplified by Rent-a-Center, evolved from a mainstream model in the U.K. to one widely seen as predatory in the U.S.
The Invisible Puzzle
Wireless spectrum is scarce, and while mobile providers have made a sport of grabbing as much as they can, the fact is, allocating it has always been hard.
Around the World
The online service Radiooooo, a global-minded vintage music project, eyes a physical form of its really awesome idea.
You’re Wearing An Antenna
Why headphones are often not optional when it comes to portable devices with FM radio functionality.
Don’t Touch That Dial
Why attempts to improve AM and FM radio technologies tend to land with a thud—a thud no harder felt than with the FMX standard, circa 1989.
The Many Lives of Packard Bell
When it was a radio-maker, Packard Bell had a reputation for quality products. When a PC clone startup bought the name, that reputation fell apart—fast.
Waaaaay Left of the Dial
Listening to 87.7 FM? That's not a radio station, but an old analog TV station—channel 6, to be exact. It's a total fluke, but Chicago's all over it.
When Signal Beats Noise
The concept of \"DXing\"—basically, trying to capture TV or radio signals from far away—is nearly as old as the antenna. It's a great rabbit hole.
IndieWeb im @DKultur/@breitband
Deutschlandradio Kultur hat mich gestern für die Sendung Breitband zum Thema IndieWeb interviewt und wenn nichts mehr schief geht, sollte das Interview morgen zwischen 13:05 und 14:00 gesendet werden... Schön, dass Marcus Richter das Thema ins Radio bringen will und danke an Felix Schwenzel, der (indirekt) den Kontakt hergestellt hat.
Take Me Out To The Riot
From \"Disco Sucks\" to a jilted city turning on its own team, baseball riots are among the most entertaining you'll find.
