“…Finally, Michele Hilmes suggests that radio in the digital age may transition once again, this time from a hyper-local to a global medium. 48 For Hilmes, the "flexibility, portability, and adaptability" of radio's "stealth" nature gives it an "ability to evade control," and this inherent counter-cultural aspect of radio should not be overlooked in future work that seeks to reinforce a sense of its relevance in the modern world. 49 If Hilmes is correct in her estimation of the future relevance of radio, it may indeed have counter-cultural potential to challenge the very hegemonic power structures in the entertainment and information industries that it helped to create.…”

The early history of radio is an absorbing and complex saga. Often told from the narrative perspective of its inventors, technical milestones, or regulatory developments, little has been written about the commercial history of early radio and its influence on the commodification of music. Using a theoretical framework of commodification based upon the concepts of Ideologies, Reification, and Fetishism, this article builds upon an earlier case study of the player piano. Attention is given to under-researched aspects of early radio history such as the department store station phenomenon circa 1910-1931. As a conclusion, some observations are made about commodification's impact on the current state of the music business, the future relevance of radio, and how theory can inform future research.

“…16 Traversing these nationalisms and internationalisms, and central to the work of the IBu, were a series of frequency plans, whereby available wavelengths were allocated to national broadcasters. By carving up and portioning out the ether, the IBu sought to counter interference and contribute to european peace.…”

“…In tracing these lines, it will reveal a transnational dimension to histories of women in broadcasting, which up to now has been largely overlooked, and in so doing, shed light on ways in which the Cold War shaped women's broadcasting in a number of ways. 12 In an essay exploring images of ruins and borderlands, Yuliya Komska fruitfully queries the analytical purchase of the terms 'postwar' and 'Cold War', not as mere (and vague) temporal markers, but as deeply entwined cultural frames in which 'meaningful overlaps and semantic negotiations' can be observed. 13 Whereas, broadly speaking, 'postwar' marks a concern with reconstruction, remembrance, normalization and modernization, 'Cold War' evokes the multi-sited yet seemingly bi-polar conflict, and concomitant cultures of fear.…”

Women's History Review

Radio played a paradoxical role in the Cold War, embraced both as a key tool for propaganda warfare as well as for promoting peace and understanding. Women, too, played paradoxical roles both in radio and on the world stage. In this paper we will attempt to explore these intersecting paradoxes in a transnational perspective by focusing on The International Association of Women in Radio and Television, founded in 1951. This international network of women provides insights into how women broadcasters viewed radio and themselves in the global ideological struggles of the Cold War. Exploring the organization's international networking practices, its positioning within international women's movements, as well as their conceptions of the relationship between women and radio, we show how in each of these arenas, despite a belief in a universal womanhood and striving for a global organization, the organization can be seen falling into the emerging Western camp of the Cold War.
