Description:... This volume explores the history of broadcasting in the nineteenth state through the words and memories of those involved in the industry. Drawn from an oral history project that produced more than three thousand pages of oral history interviews transcribed from tape, the book explores such areas as individual stations in Indiana and the people who worked there, the evolution of technology and the regulation of the industry by the government, the ethics of broadcasters, the impact of broadcasting on the public, station philosophy, and the future of the profession.
