EDITORIAL
Editor's Remarks: Music, Radio, the Public, and the
Audience
Music has long been a staple of radio programming. Reginald Fessenden
transmitted two musical selections as part of his experimental broadcast on
Christmas Eve 1906 from Brant Rock, Massachusetts. It is no surprise to find
that the contributors to this issue's symposium address issues of identity,
authenticity, cultural preservation, diversity, and marginalized groups.
Notably aside from music's role in radio programming as Brian Fauteux and
Christopher Cwynar argue, in the introduction to this issue's symposium on
Public Radio and Music in the Streaming Era, it is also a commercial and
cultural product (Fauteux & Cwynar, 2020). The peer-reviewed symposium
considers the role of music and public radio in the larger context of a media
streaming era. The symposium includes (Residual) Public Music Radio in the
Streaming Era: Listening for Diversity and Frequency on CBC Music by Brian
Fauteux assesses how CBC's music radio programming reflects [its] mandate
of showcasing a diversity of music and culture (Fauteux, 2020, p. 9). Henry
Svec argues that Randy Bachman's radio show draws criticism due to his
transgressions of rock and public broadcasting discourses (Svec, 2020, p.
34) in Taking Care of Authenticity on the CBC's Randy's Vinyl Tap.
Teresa Costa Alves explores the cultural commodity of music on the radio
and its role as the defining element of lusophone culture in... traditional and
digital radio (Alves, 2020, p. 42). She explores the role of music and radio in
a decolonized space where music can support diversity and plurality as part of
the mandate of public service broadcasting. Resistance in Song Form: NPR's
Alt.Latino and Oppositional Discourses on Public Radio by Christopher
A. Chivez interrogates the role of Alt.Latino as a podcast that can address
social, cultural, and political issues but argues that it stops short of civic
engagement (Chavez, 2020). In Brick, Mortar, and Screen: Networked
Digital Media, Popular Music, and the Reinvention of the Public Radio
Station, Christopher Cwynar tracks KEXP from the 1970s to the present
following its integral connection to Seattle as a music city. Cwynar considers
the diminishing role of public institutions and the struggle of public media.
Research in this issue also examines sound effects, women in media,
gender and radio music formats, and podcasts promoting well-being.
