Summary: The book I wanted to write!
Comment: Most books on the subject of radio tend to give short shrift to college radio stations. Having worked for a few, including a stint as station manager for WPTS at Pitt, I started an outline in 1995 of what a book dedicated to college radio might look like. Alas, teaching during the day and running an indy label in the evening and managing bands at night, I never got around to writing more than a chapter. Sauls has gone and written the book! And a good book it is! I recommend this work for anyone who worked (or is currently or wants to work) for a college radio station. Not so much for the listeners, the book gives students the entire lowdown on starting and running a station. It needs to include LPFM and webcasting information - this was sort of skimmed over (and "audionet" no longer goes by that moniker). At times the book does read a little too much like a textbook, but in other segments (like the one written by McKenzie) the information is highly readable and informative. Bonus points for the appendices, a risky move since a lot of this stuff can become outdated before a book goes to print. Dr. Sauls if you're thinking about a second edition or another book along these lines, please e-mail me and we can exchange notes! Anyone else should buy this book right now!
