This article examines the topic of radio station valuation. A review of the key academic literature on station valuation is presented, followed by a discussion of the various models used by media industry brokers to systematically determine the value of a radio acquisition. The concluding section of the article discusses the implications of these models and their relationship to the literature on radio station valuation.

This article examines the Canadian government's use of national radio forums to forge a national identity during the 1930s and 1940s. It first explores why this question of a national identity has been problematic in Canada. Then, it discusses the development of radio in Canada, especially the potential that adult educators, working with the federal governments, saw for citizenship education. Then, a more detailed exploration of the radio forums is made. Finally, an assessment of the overall success of the forums in helping to forge a Canadian national identity is presented.

This case study examines the local storytelling practices of two radio stations in Los Angeles: one a commercial hip-hop station, the other a public radio station managed by Minnesota Public Radio with a news-talk format. Interviews with station staff and direct observation of station practices provide data that reveal specific practices showing how stations can apply communication infrastructure theory in attempts to forge the connections between the media, community residents, and the local organizations that bind neighborhoods. Obstacles to sustaining these practices are noted, including commercial pressures and journalistic principles that may hinder advocacy.

McFarland & Company, Inc., have recently published two reference books that focus on radio. The most recent is The Encyclopedia of Women in Radio. Leora Sies (who passed away before the completion of the volume) and Luther Sies use a variety of academic sources, archives, magazines and newspapers, and professional sources to identify the women who performed on radio. The Sieses do not claim to have identified all the women of radio. “This book is far from complete. It is little more than a representative sample, since most of the record of women’s work in broadcasting has been lost” (p. vi). In spite of this limitation the work contains over 10,000 entries in 407 pages. The book is organized alphabetically with each entry assigned a number. Most of the entries are quite short and simply list names and stations. For example, entry number 3534 is “Gillen, Anne. Organist (WGBS, New York, NY, 1929)” (p. 119). Entries are longer when more is known about the person. In addition to entries about individual women, the encyclopedia lists programs that prominently featured women. The program entries are generally more extensive than those of individuals. Also included in the volume are nine extended entries “that describe women’s special contributions to American Radio” (p. 3). The topics include comediennes, daytime serials, gender discrimination, and pioneers, among others. The gender discrimination entry includes quotes from women about their experiences and discusses many of the ideas about gender that characterized the times. For example, Elmer Lawler of ABC news is quoted as saying, “Many women may possess the knowledge and authority but they seldom can convey this through their voices ... Her voice is naturally thinner ... It’s not appropriate for reporting crucial events” (p. 110). These extended entries are among the most useful for scholars who want more in-depth information. The book is easy to use. There is an appendix that lists broadcasters by category, such as actresses, bridge experts, home economists, and numerous other categories. There is an index of names. This would seem somewhat redundant given the alphabetical listing of names in the book, but some names appear in multiple entries. There is an index of programs and a good basic bibliography. The primary strength of The Encyclopedia of Women in Radio is that it demonstrates the overwhelming presence of women in radio. The extensive list of names testifies to the variety of roles women played on the air. It also provides a good starting point for identifying particular individuals and identifying issues of gender that are worth further study. There are a few limitations to this work. Because so many of the entries are quite short they have lim-

As the 1960s came to a close, increasing social and political pressure was brought to bear on broadcasters to augment women's participation on the air. The pressure, from changes in civil rights laws and the Second Wave of the women's liberation movement, took several different forms; three models o f women's access to the airwaves emerged in the ensuing decade. Women using the models to gain access to the air met with varying degrees of success. This article will discuss the ways in which women broadcast, particularly on the radio during this period, and why two of the three models o f access faded as the Second Wave lost energy at the end of the 1970s.

This study examined the trends of M&As (mergers and acquisitions) in the radio industry from 1981 through 2002. In terms of method, the study investigated both MUS by radio firms and M&As targeting radio firms, and compared M&A frequency and M&A transaction values. The result showed that (1) although M&A activities have consistently increased, they have recently begun to decrease, (2) the loosening of ownership regulations prompted more M&A activities, and (3) the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 encouraged interindustry M&As by radio firms, while the flow of investments from other industries into the radio industry was not changed by the Act.

Charles Kuralt is remembered as one of television journalism's unique voices, but it was radio that launched his broadcasting career. This article examines Kuralt's early radio writing, including the commentaries he wrote from 1961 to 1968. Although Kuralt's television work is well-chronicled and documented, his radio scripts offer an important and largely unknown transitional step that took him from a career as a young newspaper columnist to one of the country's preeminent broadcast journalists. The scripts predate and foreshadow Kuralt's groundbreaking "On The Road" series show distress concerning his country's neglect of its citizens, his dedication to preserving the environment, and an often ironic view of how social institutions function.

Many forms of alternative media empower marginalized populations by providing the tools of media production as an outlet for their voices. Drawing on the experiences of youth collected from semi-structured ethnographic interviews, the preliminary research presented in this paper demonstrates how youth, in their own words, are empowered through their participation in the alternative media production process. Since the relationship between empowerment and radio production is currently unexplored, critical media literacy is applied to illustrate how production can enfranchise the creator. Although the production of the radio artifact initiates the process, it is the legitimacy of the discursive space that is truly empowering for youth.
