9XM Talking: WHA Radio and the Wisconsin Idea de Randall Davidson

9XM Talking: WHA Radio and the Wisconsin Idea

Autor Randall Davidson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2017
Randall Davidson provides a comprehensive history of the innovative work of Wisconsin's educational radio stations. Beginning with the first broadcast by experimental station 9XM at the University of Wisconsin, followed by WHA, through the state-owned affiliate WLBL, to the network of stations that in the years following WWII formed the Wisconsin Public Radio network, Davidson describes how, with homemade equipment and ideas developed from scratch, public radio became a tangible example of the Wisconsin Idea, bringing the educational riches of the university to all the state's residents. Marking the centennial year of Wisconsin Public Radio, this paperback edition includes a new foreword by Bill Siemering, National Public Radio's founding director of programming.

Recenzii

"Given the historical significance of WHA and the added insights about the station's early struggles for survival, this is an important work of broadcast history."—Alan G. Stavitsky, University of Oregon

"An engaging, even engrossing, narrative about the station's pioneering work in broadcasting. ... A reader witnesses ... the struggles that small and educational broadcasters faced in the early years in what was nearly a constant battle to maintain a foothold in the frequency spectrum."
—Journalism History

"Readers ... interested in the history of educational radio and the original distance learning will particularly enjoy it." —Radio World
