Revolutions In Radio
By admin | January 26, 2008
“it may still be called radio in 10 years, for lack of a better word, but that familiar world of transmitters, antennas, and frequency and amplitude modulations… appears to be going through changes that will add up to a revolution.” -Peter Goodman
The popularity of podcasts and Internet-radio are forcing hard questions to be asked about the future of radio. While these changes definitely comprise the makings of a revolution, certain ideals and mindsets of what radio is, or was, also have the power to stifle such a revolution. It’s essential that the radio community finds a balance between listeners’ desire for portable programming available whenever and the ability to plug into the community instantaneously.
Revolutions In Radio examines the possibilities of radio’s future by transforming four current formats on KRLX, Carleton College’s 100-watt student-run radio station, into program’s that utilize current technological advancements while maintaining radio’s long standing tradition of serving the public and creating a world where the community can gather.
Be prepared for a radio world that involves video, instant messaging, YouTube, and more listener input than past radio. Experience the next revolution in radio.
