Mr. Tomi Saluveer just visited our university.  He was here with a group
of Estonian students who are planning "Tudengiraadio".  They left us 15
minutes ago to visit commercial radio stations in Tampere.

Mr. Saluveer told that "Tudengiraadio" plans to go on the air in September,
1993, when the next academic season begins in Estonia.  Their radio station
is still on planning stage.  Their target audience is youth, aged 15-30
years.  Commercial stations in Estonia are not interested in this group
as they assume that only people aged 30-50 years have money to consume
products that are advertised.  "Tudengiraadio" also plans to have some
advertising but their purpose is not to make profit but to offer radio
service to a group practically neglected by commercial or state owned media.

"Tudengiraadio" is interested in having contacts with student radios
abroad.  They also need technical equipments; eg. second hand tape recorders,
transmitters, consloes etc.  You can contact Mr. Saluveer using the address
mentioned in this news-group before, or you can use this address: Mr. Tomi

I don't attend CWRU anymore, but WRUW's library
 has about 80,000 albums, alphabetical by artist.
 When I was a DJ there I could typically find an
 album I wanted to play in under 90 seconds.  On
 several occasions I was 30 seconds from dead air,
 changed my mind about records, and made the play.
 IMHO, that library is worth ANY amount of setup
 headaches.

This letter was received from "Tudengiraadio".  I post it to rec.radio.
noncomm as it seems to be targeted to all involved with noncommercial broad-
casting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dear Madam/Sir

Estonia is an one year old independent republic on the coast of the Baltic
Sea.  After 50 years of Soviet occupation our newly-born mass media is now
having great difficulties in coordinating its own development.

Different social and cultural groups have different outlets in press,
radio and tv and Estonian students are one of those whose voice is not heard
yet.

There are four universities in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia and two in
the second largest city Tartu.  The recent year has given birth to many
local commercial radio stations.  Now we are building up a non-profit-seeking
"Tudengiraadio" (=Student Radio).  Although the project of "Tudengiraadio"
started in Tartu, Tallinn is mostly in need of an academic institution, who
collects and distributes student's information and fights for their rights.

We have already got our wave band and right to start broadcasting, we are
reconstructing studio rooms in the centre of Tallinn, collecting team, money 
and technical equipment.

This letter is written in the hope of finding new friends and having relations
abroad.  We are looking forward to learn about the possibilities to co-
operate with You, to exchange experiences and have further contacts.

Let us know You've received our message, we will be waiting for your answer!

Sincerely Yours,

Tomi Saluveer
Leader of "Tudengiraadio" Board

TUDENGIRAADIO (Student Radio), Riia 12, EE-2400  TARTU, Estonia.
Phone (01434)77-700, fax (01434)75-500."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB.  "Tudengiraadio" has been on the air since October 2, 1991, but not as
an independent radio station.  They have been leasing air-time from two
commercial Estonian radio stations, Radio Tartu 100,2 MHz and Radio Kuku in
Tallinn on 100,7 MHz.  Now they have been licenced to operate their own
transmitter & radio station.  Our university has close connections with
the University of Tartu on the official university leve but not with the 
student's union.  Two students from Tartu have been every year studying
radio&tv journalism at our university.  Estonian students have also been
working at our radio station to learn broadcasting techniques.

I've had DMX for a month, and I get a kick out of using it.  It's cute
and a good value I think.  However, as has been discussed a little
here, it does seem to have problems:

1. Momentary dropout of entire channel banks
2. System sometimes aborts one musical selection and suddenly jumps
into another.
3. Digital DJ noticeably misannounces selections.  For example, this
morning at 8:15 PST the 'Symphonic' channel was playing a suite of
dances from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty.  This music was announced as
Schubert's Symphony #9 (The Great) on the Digital DJ.  At least on the
classical channels, this happens every day.
4. Subjectively, the classical programming on the Symphonic and Chamber
channels is the worst I've ever heard anywhere.  Blatant warhorses are
intermixed with raucous, necrophilic 20th century selections guaranteed
to give modern music a bad name.  I suspect that this formatting may be
a retread of defunct KFAC in Los Angeles (DMX comes from International
Cabletronics, Inc. in LA).

8 PM WNEW-AM (1130) will become WBBR with an all business news format.  The
next day at 10 AM WQXR-AM (1560) will become WQEW and pick up the big band
format.  The New York Giants football will be on WBBR 1130 for the rest
of the season.  It will be interesting to see where Larry King and Bruce

I last heard Landecker on WLS-AM (high atop the downtown Burger King),
in the 7-10 PM slot, a few years ago.  Unless I'm mistaken, he, Uncle Lar'
(Larry Lujack), and Fred Winston all departed at roughly the same
time (1989?), which was about the same time that WLS went to all-talk.

I don't know about cassettes for sale, but the shows are available on tape.
 
The Old Time Radio Club of Buffalo, N.Y., has an extensive lending library of
old radio shows on cassettes and reels. I know that a number of CBS Radio
Mystery Theater episodes are available from them on reels. I am not familiar
with their inventory of titles on cassette. The reel library also has a
selection of episodes from the General Mills radio program that was roughly
contemporary with the CBS RMT.
 
If you would like more information, send me an e-mail message. I will check
on the membership dues and rental fees and pass them along to you.

Several years ago, a family friend of ours, originally from Barbados,
described a service she remembers receiving while growing up.  She told
me that the Barbados Redifusion Service was some type of box that was
installed in the home for a monthly fee.  It provided entertainment,
news and other info.  While thumbing through recentt editions of the
WRTH, I came across a name and address listing for the Redifusion
service.  My questions are: What actually was this service then, and
what is  it today?  Is it some kind of FM subcarrier (SCA or SCMO)
delivered service?  And lastly, what does the word "redifusion" mean?
Is it a British term?  A friend of mine from England wasn't at all

Hi, I host a radio show on WNUR 89.3FM in the Evanston-Chicago area.  Recently
I decided to make interviews a part of the show.  Right now the show is a
comedy-talk freeform music show.  Actually it was this last friday to be
exact.  That very day I went in search of a good interview.  I was able to
arrange that day for an interview with "Wierd Al" Yankovic since he was in
town.  It ended up being very exciting to talk with him.  I was quite nervous
not only because it was "Wierd Al" but also because HE called ME for a phone
interview.  I completely was not expecting him to call me back personally. 
Anyway I thought I'd share that with you all.

Potting down,

Hmmm...well it seems to me that this service (or one similar to it
already exists).  It's called Express.  They dump 24 hour 9600 baud news
articles, weather info, stock market info and (by use of a BBS system)
subscriber entered articles.  You just buy a modem and some (crappy
horrible outdated disgusting) software from Express, hook it up to your
satellite receiver and wheee hooo you gots all de news you can stand!
=-)

A friend of mine had this service via satellite but when he came to
college couldn't bring his dish.  Fortunately, the local cable company
also feeds Express out over the cable system.  For the cost of a modem
(around $100) and software (around $100-$150 or you can pretty easily
write your own..he did), you get your very own newsfeed.

I don't know addresses or phone numbers though you could ask your local
cable company or satellite equipment distributors in your area.

I have a "Select-A-Tenna" that I have used since 1979. It does, indeed,
improve reception on weak AM stations. The stronger the station, the less
effect it has. I have used mine in several different locations in which I
have lived, and it has enabled me to enjoy stations that otherwise would have
had borderline reception at best.
 
I am not familiar with the other models you mentioned, so I cannot comment

You know, with the posturing about Brandmeier's show, Stern's show and
Steve and Gary's shows swapping around here, I wonder how many of us
remember that Steve Dahl has an equity position in AM-1000?  Yep, he
OWNS part of it.  A small part, but notheless he will profit financially
if Howard Stern on the Loop-AM beats his own morning show on the Loop-FM.

Yes, methinks the Stern show on AM-1000 is a very clever move.

My guess is the information iteslf is provided by
either metro Traffic or Shadow Traffic, two companies that
provide traffic reports for readio and television. they're both
computerized, and their info could be adapted to this sort of setup
pretty easily. another guess...somebody is probably putting this stuff
out on an fm subcarrier.
