Download or read book Radio Daze 1970 1976 written by Mitch McCracken and published by Cracker Box Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-13 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm not sure how this happened, I was never inspired to write a book, but I sure do enjoy telling stories. So I wrote a few of them down. My first radio job was at the third FM station in the country to switch to a rock format. I'm going to tell you about my 1974 interview with The Doors Jim Morrison. Who died in Paris in 1971. Or my vacation on the road with Skynyrd. One of the most challenging things about writing this book was reliving the story of how a serial rapist trapped, beat, and raped my girlfriend. You will read about what happened to her, how she dealt with it, and how it affected her life and mine. I also detail how my magazine, Radio Magazine, was embezzled by Stax Records and Union Planters Bank, how I helped the Attorney General at the time, Hugh Stanton, in his investigation into the bank and one of its officials. Radio Daze takes a lighthearted look at some serious issues. It also gives you an inside look at the other side of the radio microphone and what it was like to be a disc jockey in the seventies. Radio was fun then. The DJs got free albums, concert tickets, movies, and meals, much different from today's radio.

Download or read book Radio Daze written by Bob Stanhope and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Wikipedia a mid life crisis effects about 10% of the population and occurs at approximately the age of 46. It's supposedly caused by a realization of one's mortality, dissatisfaction with a career, maturation of children, or some regret over a life situation. For men it can last from 3 to 10 years and the American stereotype is that the afflicted buys a sports car. Radio Daze is a description of what might have been Bob's mid-life crisis when he left a stable, secure career as a high school math teacher for a job in broadcasting. It details his experiences in radio (and a little TV) that started in college and then, after an 18-year break, continued until he was almost 50. Included are stories of good and bad bosses, eccentric and funny colleagues, strange business decisions, and the general chaos of being live on the air every day. While the specifics might be unique to Bob, the book makes it clear that broadcasting is a medium that attracts a very unusual group of people.

Book excerpt: The radio business in 1988 is an exciting and challenging environment. Larry Gamble, dazed by the romance of broadcasting, invests his family's savings in a "make-or-break" venture becoming the sole owner of a radio station serving a diverse mountain community in central California. It is the start of a 25-year love affair that will see him make many friends and develop a loyal and passionate family of listeners. Like all relationships, however, it is not without its problems, and Gamble soon finds himself battling the bureaucracy while having to meet the challenges of a continually evolving broadcasting world. The long hours and never-ending worry begin to change Gamble's optimistic attitude and affect his physical health, and he reluctantly decides that perhaps it's time to move on. When there is a sudden upturn in the economy, he makes the heart-wrenching decision to begin the painful separation process. But will the sale ever go through, that is the million-dollar question?

Download or read book Top 40 Democracy written by Eric Weisbard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you drive into any American city with the car stereo blasting, you’ll undoubtedly find radio stations representing R&B/hip-hop, country, Top 40, adult contemporary, rock, and Latin, each playing hit after hit within that musical format. American music has created an array of rival mainstreams, complete with charts in multiple categories. Love it or hate it, the world that radio made has steered popular music and provided the soundtrack of American life for more than half a century. In Top 40 Democracy, Eric Weisbard studies the evolution of this multicentered pop landscape, along the way telling the stories of the Isley Brothers, Dolly Parton, A&M Records, and Elton John, among others. He sheds new light on the upheavals in the music industry over the past fifteen years and their implications for the audiences the industry has shaped. Weisbard focuses in particular on formats—constructed mainstreams designed to appeal to distinct populations—showing how taste became intertwined with class, race, gender, and region. While many historians and music critics have criticized the segmentation of pop radio, Weisbard finds that the creation of multiple formats allowed different subgroups to attain a kind of separate majority status—for example, even in its most mainstream form, the R&B of the Isley Brothers helped to create a sphere where black identity was nourished. Music formats became the one reliable place where different groups of Americans could listen to modern life unfold from their distinct perspectives. The centers of pop, it turns out, were as complicated, diverse, and surprising as the cultural margins. Weisbard’s stimulating book is a tour de force, shaking up our ideas about the mainstream music industry in order to tease out the cultural importance of all performers and songs.
Download or read book TOWERS IN THE SAND written by Donn R. Colee Jr. and published by North Loop Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadcasting touches almost every person in the United States every day. But like the air we breathe, we seldom give it a second thought. Towers in the Sand is the only comprehensive history of Florida's broadcasting industry, 1922-2016, the people who brought the stations to life, and the events that saw the state grow from boom to bust and back again to now the nation's third most populous. Over a decade in the making and fully referenced and indexed, Towers in the Sand tells stories from over eighty Florida broadcasting pioneers and current leaders, from the Keys to the Panhandle. A celebration of broadcasting's proudest moments through hard-hitting journalism and editorials, lifesaving moments through decades of hurricanes, and lighthearted moments with favorite personalities and promotions. Towers in the Sand also laments the loss of a national treasure as most stations were transformed from local community partners to lines on corporate balance sheets. As broadcasting sits at the precipice of a very uncertain future, the author hopes through this work to engage thought, conversation, and action to ensure its continued relevance in society.
