Its focus is English- speaking Canada's radio industry, which developed differently from the Francophone side and was subject to direct competition from American broadcasting outlets. The work argues that broadcasters in Canada before television spent considerable money, time, and effort attempting to figure out which kinds of programs people liked and how listeners could be engaged by radio. Assumptions about listeners' habits and dispositions varied, and within a mixed private-public broadcasting industry there was no shortage of free advice about what should go on the air or how to make programs. Though maligned as elitists by some of their contemporaries, public broadcasters (working through the CBC from 1936 on) hoped to realize a democratic vision of broadcasting, a vision in which programs appealing to mainstream tastes remained prominent, but with no listeners 'left behind'. In six topical chapters (intimacy, America, Britain, regulation, music, minority) the work mines archival sources from Canada, the US, and the UK, as well as the existing historiography of broadcasting. It is not in-depth analysis of programming content, but rather concerns itself with the ways that Canadian broadcasting's evolving structure, the goals of broadcasters, prevailing and shifting tastes and norms, and listeners' expectations all affected programs and policies."--|cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Radio broadcasting|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2010109323|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Radio broadcasting|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85110456|zCanada.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007233-781 650 0 Radio broadcasting policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85110461|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Public radio|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85108748|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79007233-781 650 0 Radio audiences|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85110443|zCanada.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781 650 0 Radio programs|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85110557|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xRating|xHistory. 650 7 Radio broadcasting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1087224 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Radio broadcasting|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1087264 650 7 Radio broadcasting policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1087280 650 7 Public radio.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1082841 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 650 7 Radio audiences.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1087208 650 7 Radio programs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1087512 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|tCanada before television. |w(CaOONL)20169039218 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1409633|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
