“…Similarly, the media culture tends to broadcast the same programs from medium to another in order to attain more audience at the expense of documentaries. A certain tradition exists: Culture has started to resemble marketing more and more -and vice versa (Wall, 2000). Nowadays, spectacles are very popular because they go beyond people's experiences and their everyday life (Fairclough, 1997;Nieminen and Pantti, 2004;Kellner, 1998).…”

The aim of this article is to study a well-known radio journalist and media-educator Hannu Taanila's radio programs in a state-owned Finnish Broadcasting Company. Hannu Taanila is an influential media person whose radio programs were famous and popular. This article concentrates on Hannu Taanila's radio monologues. The research data includes 16 radio programs broadcast in 2005. Each program lasted for 45 minutes and all of them were recorded, transcribed, and analysed by discourse analysis. This article focuses on describing and discussing this famous radio speaker's image, his language and editorial practice: What kinds of interpretative discourses did Hannu Taanila construct in his radio speeches and which were his positions of media education in his radio program? The results of this research show, that the radio as a public media still has the possibility to fulfil the basic educational purposes of national broadcasting.

Este artigo apresenta o Design Audiovisual como fluxo metodológico para a criação, produção e análise de programas de rádio. No ambiente midiático digital contemporâneo, as formas institucionalizadas do rádio estão sendo desafiadas com a introdução de novas tecnologias. As novas ferramentas, e os novos comportamentos da audiência, requerem que emissoras, produtores e pesquisadores levem em conta produções que tanto remetam à manutenção das formas características do rádio, como incorporem as possibilidades emergentes. Usando exemplos simulados e reais, este ensaio propõe o Design Audiovisual como uma ferramenta possível, e viável, para o desenvolvimento e estudo de produções de rádio interativas e orientadas à convergência midiática.

“…But most of these had gone bankrupt by the end of the decade and the ones that survived invariably did so by selling on their licence and shifting their formats towards mainstream content (Wall 2000). The problem, as Wall argues, was that policy prioritized reducing costs to local commercial broadcasters through deregulation, whilst little attention was paid to the issue of income.…”

“…Moreover, the 'shortage of frequencies' has long been used to justify retention of frequency resources when, in reality, such 'shortage' is a product of policy at least as much as technical constraints. The United Kingdom still has proportionately fewer licensed stations operating in major urban areas than the United States (Wall 2000) and the history of radio is littered with temporary departures from scarcity arguments, whenever there is sufficient political will to open up the spectrum (Lewis and Booth 1989).…”

“…Yet the limitations of the community licence with respect to illegal broadcasting are clear enough and given the costs and scale barriers to DAB entry, it is difficult to see how the combination of these policies can make any meaningful impact in reducing the prevalence of illegal broadcasting. In terms of Internet radio, where there is notable market expansion, there are familiar seeds of consolidation and homogeneity (Wall 2004). In the meantime, the marginalization of the illegal broadcasting issue has left a policy 'void', according to community radio activist Donald McTernan:…”

This research examines the systemic factors that perpetuate illegal broadcasting inLondon. It is primarily based on interviews conducted with relevant policy-makers, lobbyists and activists between May and August 2009. Findings were contextualized by secondary data and documents sourced in part through applications under the Freedom of Information Act. The research finds that illegal broadcasting plays a key role in the value chain of production within the urban music industry and that current digital radio policy is unlikely to reduce its prevalence. Illegal broadcasting is becoming an increasingly marginalized issue in regulatory discourse and there is a growing emphasis on enforcement at the expense of licensing alternatives. The research also uncovers significant aspects of 'informal' policy-making in respect of illegal broadcasting, raising question marks over the transparency and accountability of the policy process.
