The article presents the results of an intermediate stage of a comprehensive study of information radio broadcasting. Using a content analysis, the authors study the morning broadcast of all-news radio stations Business FM, Vesti FM and Kommersant FM in the period of May 14–20, 2018. The criteria for the analysis include genre and theme preferences, time-line, expressive means, the structure of information sessions, formats and forms of the news programs, the work of radio hosts and reporters, and others. According to the results of the research, Business FM and Kommersant FM broadcast informational programs rather than analytical ones, while Vesti FM includes long live analytical talk-programs in its running order, which dilutes the informational format of the radio station. The programs of the informational genre are mainly informational message, press review, and mail review. The state radio station Vesti FM still broadcasts radio reports, while the two independent radio stations have stopped using them in favor of the so-called «package». Vesti FM focuses mostly on issues of international politics and social problems, whereas the commercial stations Business FM and Kommersant FM prefer mainly internal and international politics and economic problems. All the three-radio stations do not fully use the expressive means of radio; the key ones are the voice and underscoring.

The purpose of the study was to explore how Greek radio stations utilize social media and Facebook in particular, and to look into factors that influence interaction with their audience. Twenty radio stations broadcasting from the two largest cities in Greece were selected according to their radio profile and number of followers. The duration of the study was two weeks, weekends included, with one month time lag between them. Results showed that the type of content seems to influence audience’s participation. Listeners had higher participation when they were reading information with content of their favourite radio broadcasting. Moreover, it was noticed that a specific time of the day might facilitate communication between radio stations and their listeners. Interaction patterns differ in relation to radio profile and radio stations broadcasting location. This paper represents a first attempt to investigate the ways Greek radio stations utilize social media to accomplish higher participation levels. An interaction index was introduced and used in order to better reflect radio station audience interaction. Given the relatively short observation period present these findings should be considered preliminary and exploratory. Longer data collection period combined with alternative social media such as Twitter, can provide a deeper understanding of the topic. Radio stations can utilize the present findings to develop a more effective strategy communication through social media.

The “golden age” of radio broadcasting in the 1930s and 1940s was dominated by large, national broadcasting networks. The rise of these networks is thought to have been accompanied by a dramatic decline in the number of locally oriented stations in operation in the United States. However, this presumption contradicts the dynamics of concentration and organizational foundings in a variety of other industries. In this article I use comprehensive data on the vital rates of radio station founding, failure, and density to empirically test the popular claims of network dominance in the midcentury U.S. broadcasting industry. The results indicate that locally owned commercial stations were not eliminated by the rise of national broadcasting networks. In fact, concentration in the hands of the networks actually increased the viability of locally owned radio stations.

University radio broadcasting, whose first examples in Turkey date back to the 1940s, made its main leap forward with the emergence of private radio broadcasting in the early 1990s and the increase in the number of communication and broadcasting schools at different levels. Largely unable to exist legally except for a few exceptions, university radio stations have had to deal with many problems from the first examples until today. In this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with the representatives and employees of university radio stations affiliated with 34 universities in Turkey. We found that the lack of a legal basis for university radio stations causes various problems in practice. The most important of these problems include the following: first, the practices of frequency allocation and usage fees by relevant authorities are not conducted in compliance with certain standards. Financial return models are rigid and limited; the production efficiency of a radio station is interrupted when university financial support or station management is irregular or insufficient, as well. As a result, employees experience a loss of motivation in the management and content production stages.

Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survey dan teknik dokumen terhadap 19 radio mitra yang peduli dalam siaran pendidikan. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah stasiun radio mitra yang berjumlah 52, sampel 19 stasiun radio mitra yang aktif menyiarkan konten pendidikan yang dikembangkan oleh Balai Pengembangan Media Radio Pendidikan (BPMRP). Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa partisipasi 19 radio mitra dalam menyiarkan konten pendidikan masih tergolong partisipasi rendah (nonparticipation) yaitu dikatakan sebagai bukan peran serta, masyarakat atau radio hanya dijadikan sebagai obyek suatu kegiatan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut dalam mengembangkan konten siar pendidikan diharapkan lebih mengutamakan penggunaan kata-kata yang umum dan lazim dipakai, tidak melanggar kesopanan, mengesankan, pengulangan kata-kata yang penting dan susunan kalimat yang logis.Kata kunci: partisipasi, radio pendidikan, penyiaran radio Abstract:The purpose of this research is to determine the participation of radio station to broadcast educational content. This research had been conducted in four months. Started on March 17 until June 30, 2014 and it was located in Yogyakarta (Central Java), East Kalimantan and Papua. Survey and documentary methods from 19 radio partners in educational programs were used for this research. The population of this research were 52 radio stations where 19 of those samples are still active to broadcast educational content developed by Provincial Development Unit for Educational Radio (Balai Pengembangan Media Radio Pendidikan/ BPMRP).The results reveals that the participation of 19 partner stations in broadcasting educational content are still relatively low (nonparticipation). In other words, the participation is only limited to an object of program or an activity, not as an active participation in broadcasting the educational content. To overcome such problem in developing educational broadcasting content, it is expected to prioritize the use of common words that do not violate decency and portraying more impression, especially for repetition of the important words logical sentences.Key words: participation, educational radio, radio broadcasting

On 1 April 1925 Denmark introduced national control of its hitherto privately run and relatively chaotic radio broadcasting. Denmark would quickly show itself to be one of Europe’s leading nations with regard to both the number of licence-paying listeners and the role of serious music in broadcasting policy. This situation was also reflected very directly in the case of Carl Nielsen. Out of the total of 5,802 performances of his work which the article’s author has been able to document until Nielsen’s death in 1931, 922 (or nearly a sixth) were either produced directly for radio (where in general all music was broadcast live), or broadcast via Danish and foreign radio. Nielsen’s attitude to the new medium was ambivalent from the beginning and gradually cooled. Indeed, the head of the Danish State Radio, kammersanger Emil Holm, was one of his friends, and Nielsen readily accepted when he was asked to conduct his own works at the concerts, which marked milestones in the newly founded Radio Orchestra’s development. He was also a member of the committee that decided in 1926 which type of transmitter the new radio station in Kalundborg would use. But he composed only a few, not especially important new works for radio use, and does not seem to have been clear about what the radio medium meant for his music at a European level. The article presents a series of hitherto unknown documents concerning Carl Nielsen’s relationship to the radio medium, and includes a schematic chart in the appendix offering a detailed overview of which Nielsen works a listener could have heard, and when, on Danish and foreign radio stations up until the composer’s death.

Red Shirt protest occupation spaces were situated in the center of Bangkok. One of the roads that was occupied is called Wireless Road, and is named after Bangkok’s first radio station, which was founded there in 1920. This chapter considers how Red Shirt radio stations played a key role in mobilizing the movement. It further reflects on the meaning of the occupation taking place at the inaugural site of radio in the country, an important symbol of modernity. Red Shirt radio in the present is in some ways closely connected to the history of radio in the country, but in other ways it breaks from it sharply. The chapter concludes with the suggestion that Red Shirt radio suggests a kind of neoliberal turn within the movement.

Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides a comprehensive radio communication platform, based on which new technology can be used through software update. This leads to a large-scale reduction in expansion costs and enables the product to maintain technology development. The SDR platform can be set up with an open, standard, and programmable hardware platform, based on which the functions of the radio can be perceived by adding appropriate software modules. In this platform, the transformation and expansion of the radio functions are done in a software version without the need for a modification of the equipment. Such software radio station can easily communicate with the current or upcoming radio stations. In this article, we analyze SDR evolution and various platforms and implement various modulation techniques with the aim of successfully transferring a message wirelessly over-the-air using ADALM-PLUTO SDR platform by Analog Devices.

Decree No. 38 of 1992 enacted under the administration of General Ibrahim B. Babangida put a stop to fifty seven years of government’s exclusive ownership and operation of broadcasting in Nigeria. However, with the cost of setting-up, management and obtaining license for media station being prohibitively expensive, the system can only be accessed by the rich and powerful in the society, thereby depriving rural communities’ involvement in the development of the country. As part of the panoply of strategies to ensure rural communities’ participation in democratic governance, there is need for the establishment of rural community radio stations, which is very much different from educational institutions’ type currently being paraded as community radios but rather a training room for communication and theatre arts students. Using historical-analytic method, this article looks at the role community radio could play in making good governance in Nigeria accessible to every segment of society, especially the rural populace. Therefore, it is recommended that Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) policy should consider the inclusion of community radio as the third in the sector of radio broadcasting in Nigeria after public and commercial ownership. Furthermore, since community radio is essentially non-for-profit, government should make the operation licence free or at a minimal cost to the host community. Keywords: Community radio, NBC, Good governance, People’s participation, Nigeria
