“…In particular, Seelig (2008) noted an increase in the availability of streaming media and audio archives, and Greer and Ferguson (2008) found that stations turned to high definition radio as a way to enhance their image. Radio outlets have also begun to focus on other new media advances including social media (Dorroh, 2008;Jensen, 2009), Internet-only content (Clear Channel, 2009;Kamentz, 2009), and mobile phone applications (Duryee, 2009).…”

This study examines audience use of new media technologies found on NPR. org. A total of 514 members from NPR program fan groups found on Facebook were surveyed. The results indicate people prefer ''traditional'' Web site technologies: written articles, audio and video, podcasting, and links to local stations. Visitors use NPR.org to take control of their media experience, to be entertained, and to gather information. To gather information includes social interaction.There is some evidence that users may not be interested in new media features if the usefulness of these technologies is not apparent. Industry implications are also addressed.

“…After all, personalized streaming services have barely been established as an alternative to traditional listening, but this has not prevented both radio networks and digital companies like Slacker and Spotify from attempting to penetrate the Canadian market with their disruptive innovative digital propositions. Greer and Ferguson (2008), using findings from Day & Schoemaker (2000), note that during the diffusion process industries are faced with the need to participate in a new technology because of competitive pressure or because of potential opportunities that the innovation might bring (2008:150). They also note that "a key issue is how companies handle the disruption of traditional patterns of operation and deal with technologies that challenge an organization's established ways of doing business" (Greer and Ferguson 2008:50).…”

“…Greer and Ferguson (2008) Given the theory's pedigree in radio-focused communications research it seems a natural fit for the study of the personalized streaming services and their impact on existing networks of commercial radio. After all, personalized streaming services have barely been established as an alternative to traditional listening, but this has not prevented both radio networks and digital companies like Slacker and Spotify from attempting to penetrate the Canadian market with their disruptive innovative digital propositions.…”

“…In brief, the diffusion of innovations theory explains and describes how new ideas are adopted in a social system with a special focus on the communication relations and information flows that promote adoption (Rogers, 2003:268). In studying the adoption of HD radio among station managers, Greer and Ferguson (2008) noted that the diffusion approach facilitates an understanding of the dynamics of new media adoption, in general, as well as the role of management in the decision-making process (p.23).…”

“…Comments and information on station social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, can provide further opportunities for station information, promotion, and interaction (Savage & Spence, 2014). HD Radio offers a clearer signal than analog and allows stations to broadcast additional stations on their digital signal (Anderson, 2012;FCC, 2008;Greer & Ferguson, 2008).…”

Substantial research has been conducted on digital technologies as they change television, print, and commercial radio. However, very little is known about the current digital adaptation in college radio. From increased online consumption, to podcasts and social media, college radio is also embracing digital technologies.Educational engagement is important in college radio. Alternative and academic structures are being significantly influenced today through digital transformation. The college radio system has faced a number of funding and administrative tensions between stations and their universities. As these tensions continue to affect the growth and development of college radio, they should be studied. This study investigates the use of digital technologies in two college radio station case studies. The Kotter Eight Steps of Organiz...
