In 2007 I published the KMA
PUBLIC & NONCOMMERCIAL STATION DIRECTORY. It runs 390 pages with dial guides, station and market profiles and hard to find stuff like station's gross annual revenue.
THE DIRECTORY has
detailed listings for 1,158 noncom stations in over 250 markets. It includes
every major program format: NPR News, Classical, Jazz, Triple A, College Rock
and Christian Contemporary, plus niche formats like Gospel and Bluegrass.
Each listing in THE
DIRECTORY has the station’s frequency, power, licensee, format and
slogan. Many station listings also
include management contact information.
There were around 1,600 copies of THE DIRECTORY in circulation.
I sold about 1,200 and gave away the other 400 to reviewers, libraries
and friends. If nothing else, THE DIRECTORY is a snapshot in time –
noncommercial radio broadcasting as it existed in 2007.
I don’t sell copies of the KMA PUBLIC & NONCOMMERCIAL STATION DIRECTORY because the
information is dated – it was current in 2007.
But, it still is very useful for research and a “big
picture” view of the noncom radio broadcasting landscape. Plus, it was put
together by a guy loves and knows quite a bit about radio.
If you would like a free copy, please send me an email at publicradio@hotmail.com and put
“Directory” in the subject line. I’ll
email THE DIRECTORY back to you. No cost, no obligation, no hassle.
Here are some quotes from people who bought THE DIRECTORY in 2007:
This directory
invaluable. The Spotlights are like listening to the stations. Barrett
Golding, HearingVoices.com
I have the directory and it looks like a labor of love. I
will certainly be using it as a reference in my reporting on radio in the
months to come. Marc Fisher, The Washington Post
It's all really well
done! Congratulations on creating a terrific resource.
Jeff Hansen, KUOW
It looks good, thanks, and I’ve made use of
it already. Bill Thomas
I love it. It’s
a must-have. Craig Oliver, Consultant
Outstanding. I wish
I had done it! Jim Duncan, Duncan’s American Radio
