State Lawmaker Asks FCC To Revoke St. Louis Station’s License.

Posted on Leave a comment

A Missouri state lawmaker is calling on the Federal Communications Commission to revoke the license of a St. Louis radio station for racist and offensive comments made by one of its hosts. Sen. Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis) has sent a letter to FCC chair Ajit Pai accusing Entertainment Media Trust classic country/talk KQQZ (1190) of violating the FCC’s rules against obscenity, indecency and profanity.

At issue are comments made by Bob Romanik, host of “Kool Killer Kountry,” who is known for using the n-word and “various misogynistic and homophobic slurs over the years,” according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Romanik made headlines in recent days after Rep. Bob Burns (D-St. Louis County) called into the show and defended the host, triggering a backlash and calls for Burns to resign.

An excerpt from the show posted on YouTube includes Romanik talking about “a movement for the white people.” In the snippet, Burns said he listened to the s

Kom ons kyk na agter die Classics-gordyn met Barry Pretorius

Posted on Leave a comment

Die skouspelagtige Classics is Junie terug in Pretoria en musiek word vanjaar gevier. Ons het agter die gordyn gaan inloer en met Barry Pretorius, kreatiewe regisseur van die konsert gesels.

Wat is Classics, die konsert?
Classics is ’n viering van die grootste pop, rock en musiekblyspel treffers van álle tye. ’n Absolute extravaganza van klank, talent en nostalgie. Die kunstenaars in Classics is van ons land se voorste sangers en met ’n vol simfonie-orkes, wêreldklas dansers en die beste tegniese span in die industrie, beloof Classics om weereens asems weg te slaan.

Wanneer beplanning vir so ’n konsert afskop, waarmee begin julle gewoonlik eerste?
Dit neem sowat ’n jaar om Classics te vervaardig – alles van konseptualisering tot repertoire tot verwerkings en dan uiteindelik repertisies. Net die skryf en verwerking van die musiek neem sowat ses maande. Ons is ’n reuse span wat op die produksie werk. Ons mus

Well Looking Back At Hurricane Maria: The Importance Of AM Radio.

Posted on Leave a comment

When the power goes out, a $5 transistor radio is more valuable than a $500 smartphone. That is certainly a lesson learned from last September’s Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, which left residents with a single source of information: AM radio. Just how valuable it became is the subject of an in-depth feature in Columbia Journalism Review, titled “After Hurricane Maria, AM radio makes a comeback in Puerto Rico.”

As the hurricane approached last fall, many television stations knew they would lose power and actually shuttered during the storm. Wifi was decimated, leaving “old-fashioned” radio as the single media lifeline. “Maria erased the world of journalism in Puerto Rico,” says Carolina Rodriguez Plaza, production manager for the news team at WORA-TV Mayagüez. “It reemerged in a new form, with radio playing an important role.”

As Hurricane Maria’s 150-mile-per-hour winds toppled power lines and torrential rains grounded out the is

Brad Kelly: Advertisers Having ‘Light Bulb Moment’ With Radio.

Posted on Leave a comment

Radio’s ability to reach more consumers on a weekly basis than TV or smartphones has major brand marketers rediscovering its ability to connect with consumers. Advertisers are having a “light bulb moment” with radio, says Nielsen Audio managing director Brad Kelly in an interview with MediaVillage.

“Now, the pendulum is swinging towards radio and audio as a whole,” Kelly tells journalist Alli Romano, who has covered digital media, radio and broadcast and cable TV for industry publications including Inside Radio, Broadcasting & Cable, TVNewscheck.com and Multichannel News. “Billion-dollar advertisers are re-discovering the power of radio and how it can augment, supplement and amplify their campaigns.”

Consumer packaged goods giants have begun to funnel dollars back into radio– Procter & Gamble invested $6.7 million in radio in the first half of 2017, six times more than in the same period in 2016 according to Kantar Media

Die Bekende sanger kry die stem agter ‘n kykNET-sitkom

Posted on Leave a comment

Op 9 April 2018 het daar ’n splinternuwe Afrikaanse sitkom, Mense Mense, op kykNET afgeskop. Die Nouvanaand Films-produksie sluit nie net ’n sterbelaaide rolverdeling in nie, maar ook ’n prettige temalied deur die gewilde sanger en liedjieskrywer, Len Muller in.

Vrede is ’n opgewekte kontemporêre snit in Len se kenmerkende Afrikaans-akoestiese styl en is geskryf in samewerking met Roan van As en Raldo Mattheus. Alhoewel daar ’n baie diep boodskap in die lirieke skuil, het die liedjie ’n ligte aanslag met ’n wysie wat in jou kop vassteek en jou uitnooi om saam te sing.

“Vir my gaan dit oor elke mens se strewe na vrede en hoe ek myne kan vind in God, veral wanneer die lewe en omstandighede my anders laat voel,” deel die musikant. “Ek worstel self met angs en depressie en wou graag iets skryf wat vrede verkondig aan diegene wat met dieselfde dinge worstel.”

Mense Mense gaan oor ’n groep vriende wat hulle lewens deel deur sa
