A lot of its programming started out in public radio. However, most people who study or are interested in public radio, are not okay with buying radio, as you have to do with satellite. <BR/><BR/>It's a weird dynamic because public radio types would love this aesthetic of radio... but due to the system... they probably won't ever hear it.hethrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700701072068075507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297232899590926921.post-86540270162297993812009-02-06T11:32:00.000-08:002009-02-06T11:32:00.000-08:00Hey-My name is Jack Daves.I am from Boston and am ...Hey-<BR/><BR/>My name is Jack Daves.I am from Boston and am in the Lang Portion of the class. I have no experience in radio but am so excited to work with it and can't wait to get started. So far radio hasn't played a big role in my life because I've never been really hooked by a radio station... No station ever consistently offered music that I enjoy. I'm beginning to get interested in the power of the radio as a medium independent of television and the internet, as it is only auditory but almost any story can be told through the airwaves. I think about music constantly throughout the day and want to use the radio as a means to introduce bands and performers through live performances and edited pieces that illustrate the band's essence for the listeners. I would love to see a tighter connection between music fans and their radios!<BR/><BR/>-as for links to other stations, I would urge anybody to check out satellite radio as well as a traditional radio. While working construction the past few summers I became very fond of stations such as Backspin (sirius) and Little Steven's Underground Garage(sirius). I loved listening to these stations while I worked because the hosts were always artists from the era in which the music they played was popular: Backspin was hosted by hip hop legends Kurtis Blow, and Dana Dane with frequent guests such as KRS ONE, and Pete Rock while Little Steven's was hosted by Little Steven (van zandt), Andrew Loog Oldham, and New york's own Dick Manitoba.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574287751873707041noreply@blogger.com
