| Title |
The Conservation of a Gender Fantasy: Women and Top 40 Radio in Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author examines Anglophone Top 40 radio in Montreal in terms of gender. Looking at the history of commercial radio, and the historical relationship between radio and women, she argues that these radio stations have always programmed based on imagined rather than actual understanding of their target audience. She concludes that programmers today continue to hold a conservative understanding of their female audience and their interests, and to program using a stereotypical understanding of gender.
