CBC Radio is soon going to be airing a new documentary miniseries called The Nerve by the same people who brought you the wonderful series The Wire: the Impact of Electricity on Music. The six part series explores the power music can have over us. It debuts this Saturday on CBC Radio so be sure to check it out. It seems like there is no (legitimate) way to hear this stuff off the radio so ...

Seth Godin gives some interesting and relevant insights and makes a good case for getting back to personalized authenticity……. Organizations will work tirelessly to de-personalize every communication medium they encounter. Radio ads used to be live, personal and spoken by an individual. TV ads used to feature actual people, demonstrating something, usually live. Phone calls involved a live speaker, talking, [...]

There's a widely reported story today about a report examining how alcohol is covered in the media. In particular the perceived glamourisation of excessive drinking by radio DJs such as Chris Moyles. You can read coverage at the BBC News site, and in all the papers (here are links to the story in The Guardian and the Telegraph). An interesting and worthwhile story? Undoubtedly. But the critic in me would quite like to see the ...

Nincsenek gombok, mellyel hangerősséget, rádióadt tudnánk beállítani. Illetve az egész rádi maga egy nagy kezelőfelület. A hangerő növeléséhez például a sapkát kell felhúzni, csökkentéshez értelemszerűen letolni. Hangoláshoz pedig elcsavarjuk ugyanezt a sapkát. A lehető legegyszerűbb szerkezet, minimáldizájn, musthave.Via Kottke

Ieri, dopo la pubblicazione dell’ultima tornata di dati Audiradio, ho visitato qualche blog specializzato, tanto per tastare il polso della situazione. Effettivamente, si è proprio trattato di tastare il polso della situazione, perchè, come dice un vecchio adagio, se l’invidia fosse febbre, tutto il mondo l’avrebbe. Io credo che dietro l’accanimento dei detrattori di Linus, accentuato in queste ore dal risultato poco felice di Radio Deejay, ci sia qualcosa che, a naso, dovrebbe diventare oggetto ...

There's an entertaining blog on Media Guardian that compares the route that my employers have taken in rebranding Virgin Radio as Absolute Radio compared with the route taken by Revolution in Oldham: For years the station bucked the trend of better music mixes and instead served up alternative indie and rock, making presenters out of local musical icons... But then a fortnight ago, without any prior announcement, the station's music policy changed beyond recognition. The ...

One of the recurring themes of China’s reforms and opening up over the past thirty years has been the expansion of China’s private sector, usually at the expense of the public sector, or government-invested industries. This is a theme which has been often overlooked in the west, even by westerners in China, as they are more focused on the relationship with western companies, specifically Western Foreign-Owned Enterprises (WFOEs). There are three important components in the ...

Thinking back over the last dozen years of consolidation, it's easy in retrospect to identify many things that just haven't worked out very well for radio. Operationally, the idea that one manager can oversee a half dozen radio stations has clearly not been ideal for many clusters. Or that combined sales staffs have frequently come up short in the revenue generation department. Voice tracking has clearly had some downsides by blanding out content, and eroding ...

Virgin Radio’s new name, Absolute Radio, might be seen by some people as a little, um, obvious. Absolute Radio was the name of the company that bid for Virgin Radio in the first place. So, after all the hoopla and suspense over the last few months, is Absolute the right name? Let’s rewind a little. At the time of writing (8.00pm), there’s no announcement on the Virgin Radio website. There’s nothing on the onegoldensquare staff ...

They may have been partying at the Morning Show Boot Camp earlier this month, but for the rank-and-file DJ, 2008 has been a difficult year. Downsizing, voicetracking, longer shifts, and salary cuts are all part of the new reality for many on-air folks. And then there's a recent article we spotted online by CareerBuilder.com's Rachel Zupek, "10 Evolving Jobs." It's a listing of professions that may be on thin ice because of technology advances and ...

The Hidden Radio by John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen is designed to make the human-radio interaction more intuitive and less cluttered. Also, it’s designed to make your radio look more like a futuristic mushroom than a regular radio. So how does it work? They say, “lifting the lid increases the volume proportionally with height” which means, of course, that moving the cap up makes it louder and moving the cap down makes it quieter. To change ...
