| Title |
Campus Frequencies: The 'Alternativeness' of Campus Radio Broadcasting
|
| Abstract |
The author explores the construction of alternativeness on Canadian campus radio broadcasting, using the CKUT Radio-McGill program Underground Sounds as a case study. He attempts to situate university campus broadcasting within the contemporary terrestrial broadcasting environment, looking at literature that theorizes and conceptualizes ideas about what makes campus broadcasting alternative from other broadcast forms, and what factors influence and structure the boundaries and limitations of alternativeness on campus radio. He includes an examination of how terms and concepts such as alternative, local, independent, community, and scene are used on campus-community radio programming, and how these terms construct a broadcasting ethos that may or may not be similar to notions of the alternative/independent/local/community in music scenes and identities. The on-air treatment of these terms are juxtaposed to the way they are discussed in the popular music and cultural industries literature. As well, the author examines Canadian broadcast history and policy as it relates to campus radio, particularly their role in shaping the structure and mandate of Canadian campus radio.
