In my third installment of my Internet radio in my car diary, I admit that I have tuned in to Pandora in my Honda Civic while driving on the freeway. You probably think this isn't much of a confession. But I found the experience distracting enough to

From the March, 1942 WQXR Program Guide:
Irwin Edman, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University and author of Philosopher’s Holiday, Fountainheads of Freedom, and other books, has on various occasions spoken over WQXR and is, as the following indicates, one of its devotees. Read his entire article here: p://wny.cc/18SJanR
I only realized last summer how much the schedule of WQXR had become what philosophers might call the frame of reference of my day. For I was in one of those “pockets” of the New England mountains where even the increased power of my beloved station did not enable its programs to reach me. Only a giant neighboring chain station came in and that —-! But I am writing about WQXR and of my discovery, during my excommunication from it, of how much it had got tangled into my being.

The future of music and radio is subject to debate
Music is a foundation of radio programming, therefore the future of radio is bound up with the fortunes of music and musicians. For the big radio owners like Clear Channel and the big labels they make deals with there's isn't much question. Major label hitmakers will have a home on radio, as commercial stations ram the same 12 songs down listeners' throats all day long.
But it's a much bigger question for independent artists, new bands and the mostly non-commercial stations that highlight them. At Radio Survivor we're paying more attention to the fortunes of independent musicians because we believe that their future will greatly impact the noncommercial and innovative stations we so love, on the air and online.
Matthew Lasar just took a look at a prominent debate between musicians Dave Allen and David Byrne regarding Spotify and Pandora, concluding, "Actually, it appears that Spotify et. al. did create that shift. They did not just 'see' consumer demand, they enabled it. They used technology to replace an ownership market with what Allen correctly calls a rental market."
The topic of Spotify was everywhere at the recent Future of Music Summit, which Paul Riismandel watched via live webcast and reported on. At one point in the discussion Emily Smith of the Whitesmith Entertainment talent management firm told the assembled musicians, “if you’re not seeing the money you think you should get, go yell at your label.”
Indeed, that may not be a satisfactory answer for a lot of artists, but it highlights a point that Dave Allen often makes. He told the "Technology Killed the Radio Star" panel at TechFest NorthWest in September that labels have been pretty much screwing artists for a long time, and so they're better off taking their careers into their own hands rather than trusting labels.
Paul recently wrote some rough notes on the subject, wondering of independent stations and independent artists can't work more closely together. That requires coordination amongst artists in addition to coordination amongst stations, something that has historically not been easy to pull off. But even an attempt at such coordination would be good start, don't you think?

What can community sound like?
The Mutual Musicians Foundation is where live jazz has had a home in Kansas City for over nine decades. With the “longest running jam session in the world” happening inside and many other nods to early 20th century Jazz culture, this organization is striving to keep their culture and history alive.
Kansas City is home to a big part of jazz history. According to Anita Dixon—who is spearheading the Mutual Musicians Foundation’s radio project—Kansas City is credited with birthing the swing era and the ensuing three decades of the original art and music. Jazz is a huge part of the city’s history and yet, they still do not have a radio station to tell that story and preserve it.
“Kansas City, known for Count Basie and swing music… does NOT have a station that is dedicated to the music. It is outlandish! It’s ridiculous…to turn on a radio when [you] come to Kansas City and not hear the music that you came to hear, cause it’s just not there.”
This is why there is a strong need for a community radio station in the city, not only just for the preservation of this rich culture and history, but for the opportunity to let it flourish.
The Mutual Musicians Foundation has been in operation for 93 years, and has been advocating for the city’s jazz heritage through events and public education. Innovative and effective, they held a ‘Pianothon’ fundraising event where they invited pianists from all over the nation to come to Kansas City and perform. It raised not only the profile of the organization, but $5,000 in contributions. Through these kind of events they’ve been able to expand their programmatic work, which in turn has benefited their community. One of their proudest impacts in the community has been supplying free music lessons to those who wouldn’t be able to afford them otherwise.
The Mutual Musician’s Foundation is also part of a grassroots network of organizations who are bringing mesh broadband networks to their community as well. They see the need for all aspects of the community to have access to information, dialogue and entertainment.
The community that Mutual Musicians Foundations serves is comprised of many different cultures and backgrounds, even within the small radius that they plan on broadcasting in. The planned coverage area includes Vietnamese, African-American, Somalian, Laotian, and Hispanic communities, and the Foundation plans to provide programming as diverse as these neighborhoods. Once they are on the air, there are hopes for a variety of world music programs, educational talk shows for everyone, and definitely a program dedicated to local music from Kansas City.
Prometheus has been helping the Mutual Musician’s Foundation prepare to apply for a low power FM license so they can fill the cultural gap in Kansas City’s media landscape. What could your community do with its own radio station?
Supporting Prometheus allows us to provide crucial technical and engineering expertise to groups who are taking advantage of the largest expansion of community radio in decades. Your donation today helps us get more groups through the application process.
Please donate today! Our campaign closes on October 9 and we still have a ways to go. We can get there with your help. Thank you!

In the US commercial radio seems almost natural, inevitable, since it's been with us for some 80+ years. But in UK and much of Europe it took decades of unlicensed broadcasters and business agitating before state broadcasters loosened up their monopoly on broadcasting. Britain's Radio Today is exploring the birth of commercial radio in that country this week.
