Speaking of "When Radio Was," does anyone know the satellite,
transponder, channel number and time when this show is fed?
I would like to catch a few shows and give them to the management
of a local station so they'll consider running it. (I realize
it's probably xmitted digitally and not audible on ordinary
home satellite gear.)

Subject: Job Inquiry
From: dt399@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Thomas D. Fazio)
Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA)
I've tried every other method of getting a job and to no avail, so I
am trying this forum. Perhaps someone can assist.
Does anyone know of any on-air or production openings at radio
stations in the eastern part of the U.S.?
I'm looking for my "first gig." I finished college last December.
I have great production skills and can work in virtually any
situation. I practice daily doing production and voice-improvement
exercises. I do tapes for people (you may remember I asked about
radio stations' existance a few weeks back), I do re-mixes for my
mobile DJ business, and I even do creative messages for my answering
machine and other peoples' also.
I'd be willing to move pretty much anywhere as long as I could make
enough money to not be living in a cardboard box in the radio station
parking lot. I have been told by many local radio jocks and production
directors that I have a great talent and would be a great asset to any
station. But this town (Buffalo) thinks too highly of themselves as
a market and won't give me a chance to prove myself. I know I can
deliver a quality product and pull in good numbers if someone would
just give me the chance.
The first station to hire me will be extremely lucky because I'll work
24-hour days if I have to in order to prove my point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did a little research into low power FM last weekend (for my
series of articles in Radio World). My notes make reference to the FCC
decision regarding class D stations. Actually, they did not "abolish"
them, they just stopped accepting applications for them (see 73.511(a))
and required existing class D stations to either increase power or move
to a commercial channel (see 73.512).
The closest thing to low power FM currently authorized is FM
translators. It is interesting that the FCC allows these to operate,
suggesting that they can operate without causing interference, then
makes a severe "program content restriction" by prohibiting local
origination.
Again, my notes are below. I've given the source reference
(Federal Register or FCC Record). Please excuse the typos... I did
this on a laptop computer in the library while staring at a microfiche

Notes on translator policy.
53FR22035
FCC Docket 88-140, 6/13/88. Full text in FCC Record (3 FCC
Rcd No. 12, page 3664). This NOI adopted 3/24/88, released
6/2/88. This NOI is in response to petitions for rulemaking
filed by NAB (RM-5416, 5/14/86) and AGK Communications (RM-5472,
6/13/86).
In the introduction, the FCC states "We continue to believe
that the most effective and efficient means of providing FM
service to the public is through the higher-power facilities of
full-service stations."
In paragraph 13, the Tucson Broadcasters Association points
out that translators do not have local service obligations. It
asserts that the intent of Section 307(b) of the Communications
Act is to provide for as many outlets as possible "for local
self-expression" and, thus, the Act does not contemplate service
within a community from stations located hundreds of miles away.
In paragraph 15, several commenters oppose changes that
would tighten the translator rules, arguing that the NAB
proposals are "protectionist" and that translators do not pose an
economic threat to full-service stations. They argue that
translators increase program diversity and provide radio service
tailored to the needs of the listening public.
Paragraph 21 cites an FCC statement in Docket 19918 that
says small market stations would not be harmed by imporation of
large market sigals, since local advertisers would not want to
pay the higher rates of the distant large market station.
Paragraph 24, Cornell argues that the unlimited use of FM
translators would fractionalize local radio audiences resulting
in a net loss of local service to communities that would
undermine the FCC's policies in furtherance of Section 307(b).
In response to AGK's claim for a need to use translators to cover
its "metro area" beyond the 1 mV/M contour so it can charge
competitive rates, Cornell states that the FCC's concern for the
financial success of individual stations should not go beyond
ensuring that there is no loss of service to local communities.
In paragraph 26, John Davidson Craver petitions to allow
local origination for "narrowcasting" of diverse and unique
programming targeted to smaller geographic areas that share
common interests, and sometimes languages, which would not
otherwise be commercially viable. He states that this service
would be in the public interest and would constitute efficient
use of the FM broadcast band since translators fill in the gaps
between full-service stations without creating objectionalbe
interference. Finally, he states that because FM translators are
less expensive to build and operate than full-service stations,
his proposal would make participation in broadcasting possible
for a larger segment of the public.
In paragraph 27, John S. La Tour also petitions for local
origination. He also requests the allowance of satellite program
distribution, a uniform 10 watt power limit, protection from
interference and elimination of their classification as a
secondary service.
In paragraph 29, Bruce Quinn petitions to allow the use of
class D stations operating with 10 watts or less on any FM
channel. Licensing would be based on spacing requirements only,
not based on allocations. These stations would operate on a
secondary basis.
In paragraph 30, Robert Jacoby petitions for a low-power FM
Consumer Information Service. It would be similar to the
Travelers Information Service on AM, but would allow shopping
centers, malls, etc. to broadcast over a five mile radius to
advise potential shoppers of available products.
In paragraph 31, the FCC cites Docket 20735 issued in 1978.
This apparently concludes that low power stations result in
spectrum inefficiency. In this docket, the FCC required all
class D stations to increase poweror move to a non-reserved
channel. "The Commission also observed that full-service
stations make more efficient use of the spectrum than translators
in tha the ratio of coverate go interference area is much larger
for full-service stations than for low-power translators."
"Consistent with this position, we do not contemplate the
creation, as the La Tour petition appears to suggest, of a new
class of low-power FM stations equal in standing to full-service
facilities and will carefully examine all policy options in this
area in terms of their effect on our overall FM allocations plan.
In paragraph 49, the FCC explains, "First, there are the
concerns expressed by NAB that expanded operation of FM
translators could impact full-sercie FM stations, as discussed
above. In addition, the licensing of large numbers of FM
translator stations could impose undue burdens on the
Commission's resources, and thus might cause delays in the
initiation of new translator service to the public in areas
unserved or underserved by full-service stations. Also,
widespread operation of FM translators stations could pose
significant and difficult new monitoring and enforcement
requirements for the Commission. For all these reasons, we
tentatively conclude that translator operations should not be
altered substantially."
In paragraph 52, the FCC states, "We also invote comment on
authorizing increased program origination by FM translaotrs as
proposed by Craver, La Tour, Quinn and Jacoby. We observe that
to permit unlimited program origination has the potential to make
available more channels of radio programming in less rural areas
of the country. In these areas, program origination authority
may result in programming tailored to small audiences with
specialized tastes rather than to a least common denominator mass
audience. We seek comments on the value, need, and desirability
of expanding the FM translator authority to permit increased
program origination. Since the expected location of such
translators would affect listeners' options as well as competing
full-service stations, we request comments on the expected
location of such new translators. We also request information
regarding the extend to which the service provied by full-power
FM stations may not meet the public's needs or wants and how
expanded translator program origination might further the public
interest in this regard."
53FR52742
FCC reopens comment period on translator policies (MM Docket
88-140) on request of NAB, who filed an economicstudy using data
that was not available at the previous comment period closing.
New closing date for comments is January 23,1989. Date for
reply comments is February 7, 1989.
5 FCC Rcd No. 7, page 2106.
NPRM on FM translators. RM-5416, RM-5472.
Paragraph 39, the FTC suggests that employing translators
for program origination has the potential to benefit conssumpers.
The FTC states that an increase in the number of listening
options -- in this case translator program origination -- ma
increase consumer satisfaction by increasing the number of
formats.
Paragraph 40, NABsubmitted a study of listening behavior
which concludes there is no need for local origination.
According to the NAB study, the smalles counties (12+ populations
of less than 1,000), there are an average of 10.5 different radio
stations registering listenershipby diary keepers. In the
largest counties,the average is in excess of 80 stations. NAB
also submitted a list of translator applications showing they
tend to propose service to "well-served" areas.
In paragraph 45,the FCC argues against starting another
Class D service,since itis not spectrum efficient.

Subject: Towers in Dateline/Stern piece
From: prmount@attmail.att.com
Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories
(wierd) People want to know: **
In the Howard Stern piece aired on NBC's Dateline
(Tue 10/12) at least twice the camera panned up one of
two adjacent towers (which had elements not looking like
what FM towers usually have) . Just wondering if anyone
recognized this site.

Notes : KSCS morning jock Terry Dorsey was out for several weeks due to
a heart attack.
Country still has a strong hold on the D/FW market. Four of the top
Five stations had country format.
Young Country station FM-105.3 was the big mover in the Summer
ratings going from 14th place in the Spring ratings into third
place in the Summer ratings.
Happy reading! DISCLAIMER: My views may not reflect those

Rush, around where I am, cumes about 20 or so. That means that, according to
Arbitron, around 20 percent of the total radio audience listens to Rush at
least once per week. Yeah, that makes him top of the talk show heap. However
don't make the leap of faith that so many 'ditto-heads' make and extrapolate
those figures into statements like "Rush speaks for the majority of Americans."
That may or may not be true. Personally I hope it isn't. But it is certainly
an unfounded statement - unsupported by either Arbitron or the Electoral College

Pardon me. This is the Rush Limbaugh who's on from 12-3 EST, right? Fairly
represents both sides???? Give me a break.

Oh, I've heard him. I still listen occassionally. I think Rush is a great
entertainer - someone who understands radio & how to use it to best effect
probably better than anyone else on tghe air currently. But I find his neg-
ative stereotyping & characterizations of his opponents offensive & devisive.
I find his ego-centrism and willingness to expound all-knowingly on *any*
subject to be ridiculous. And I find those who are willing to 'ditto' anything
he says - to let him do all of their thinking for them - to be pathetic.
Pathetic and perhaps a little dangerous. I see this culture at a crossroads,
and badly in need of people who are willing to let go of old ideas and reach
forward toward the kind of future that the advances in technology - and the
worldwide crumbling of archaic social systems - have made possible. Yet, to
be heard, any voices bearing new ideas and fresh approaches on the airwaves
have to force their way through a babbling chorus of 'dittos' and past the
articulate ravings of Limbaugh as he tells us how things ought to be.
