Title: Pacifica Network

URL: http://pacificanetwork.org/

Collection: Special Collections

Description: Archived website of the Pacifica Network, an affiliated network of listener sponsored radio stations. Founded in 1946 by Lewis Hill, Eleanor McKinney and others as a noncommercial, educational, cultural radio in the San Francisco Bay area, the Pacifica Network has continued to flourish as a completely listener-supported radio network. The goal behind having listener support was to insure a grass-roots forum that would support diversity, freedom of speech, and promote programs according to what the listeners want, not what a corporate sponsor wants. Hill's strong beliefs in open communication and freedom of expression helped Pacifica set precedents concerning freedom of speech in broadcasting. Besides the pioneer station, KPFA (Berkeley), Pacifica Radio consists of KPFK (Los Angeles), WBAI (New York), KPFT (Houston), and WPFW (Washington, DC). The Pacifica Network website includes information about its history, governance, affiliate stations, programs, resources, and news stories.

Title: Radio Advertising Bureau

URL: https://www.rab.com/

Collection: Special Collections

Description: Archived website of the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), a national radio advertising trade organization based in Irving, Texas, and New York, New York, whose history dates back to 1950. Originally known as the Broadcast Advertisers Bureau, the name was changed in 1955 to emphasize the organization's focus on radio (as opposed to television). The RAB's main function is to promote the medium of radio as an effective tool for national and local advertisers. To showcase radio's potential, the RAB began collecting examples of ads from all over the country. Many of these ads were used in workshops and presentations, and by the mid-1960s, the RAB had teamed with the Clio Awards in order to recognize the best of radio advertising each year. Ads collected for these purposes form what is now the Radio Advertising Bureau Collection in Mass Media and Culture at the University of Maryland Libraries. The RAB website includes information about its advocacy, sales tools, buying/planning resources, and training. The site also hosts members-only content such as creative resources.
