Radio Survivor’s podcast resumed this week after a break for the winter holidays. In this brand new episode, I give an overview of the state of college radio in 2015. It’s worth a listen, particularly if you missed my 2015 college radio year-in-review article. My segment starts at about the 60 minute mark. Also this […]
Happy New Year! It’s been awhile since I’ve written a “regular” College Radio Watch column, although there’s been quite a bit of college radio news in the past few weeks. I’m slowing making my way towards my 100th radio station tour report and am really looking forward to visiting more college radio stations in 2016. […]
Earlier this year when I was recapping the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) conference for the Radio Survivor Podcast (an event that I also spoke at), Paul asked me if there was an overarching sentiment or theme that I gleaned from the conference. I struggled to point out any specific theme and as I’ve spent more […]
I’ve covered a number of sad situations involving the shutdown of college radio stations and it’s been gratifying to see that sometimes there is a silver lining in these stories. In its column for Radio World, CBI shared stories about the triumphant return of two college radio stations in Texas: KTRU and KTXT. (more…)
It’s been a flurry of college radio conferences for me lately and my third and final event for the fall was the UCRN conference held at Pomona College’s radio station KSPC last Saturday. You can read all about it in my recap from earlier this week. Also, on this week’s Radio Survivor Podcast, I talk […]
I’ve been busy with so many college radio events lately, most recently at CMJ’s first College Day on Tour in Portland, Oregon on Saturday. I recapped the day in a post yesterday and Paul Riismandel and I also chatted about it on this week’s Radio Survivor Podcast (#23!) at around one hour and 18 minutes […]
I’m still thinking back fondly on my trip to Minneapolis and provided a run-down of the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) conference in this week’s Radio Survivor Podcast. As a bonus, I also shared some highlights from my visit to college radio station KUOM (aka Radio K), including audio tidbits from my tour through the record […]
I had a great time at the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) conference in Minneapolis last week and was glad to have had the opportunity to speak on two different panels about college radio history and culture. (more…)
I’m immersed in the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) conference today and hope that some of you caught my two presentations yesterday on college radio history and culture. As I prepared for these presentations, I spent some time reflecting back on the more than 90 radio station visits that I’ve embarked on since 2008. Looking through […]
As I was writing this week’s MASSIVE College Radio Watch (I’m catching up on several weeks worth of news), I saw a post from XMU DJ Jenny Eliscu that read, “Sadly, yes, @SIRIUSXM’s Classic College Radio channel is only alive for another week. Enjoy it before it’s #RIP.” SiriusXM will still continue programming its other […]
