ABSTRACT

Excluding Internet radio, there are really only two types of radio stations one needs be concerned with: commercial and non-commercial-public, NPR and college. Almost every college in the US has a student-run radio station. Shows that feature almost every style of music to match the diversity of the student body. Billboard is a weekly American magazine devoted to the music industry, and it is one of the oldest trade magazines in the world. It maintains several internationally recognized music charts and tracks the most popular songs and albums in various categories on a weekly basis. FMQB (Friday Morning Quarterback) services music and radio industries with unique high-quality content, insightful articles and news. CMJ (College Music Journal) focuses on a professional weekly version and a consumer monthly version. Directories of non-commercial and commercial stations are available from several of the radio trade magazines; however, in today's world of corporate radio, it is getting more complex to get update information.
