recorded music as they waited for news of the Lindberg
kidnapping trial, creating an industry. Todays disc jockeys
tend to meet the stars as the fans do, but music hopefuls in
Blocks time auditioned for him and his colleagues. Todays
disc jockeys are only slightly more privileged than the fans
and their listeners, and no longer possess any of the powers
of the past. Bibliography lists 8 sources. MBlock.doc
Radios Format Changes : A 5 page paper
discussing the
format and content changes radio has undergone since its
earliest days. Before the advent of the program manager,

as long as it was within FCC and the station owners
guidelines. Talk was live; music was recorded in the middle
age, but radio shows have been increasingly recorded over
the years. There is a trend of some to return to more of the
live programming common only a few years ago, but some
even offer fully prerecorded shows, breaking into the
recording only for the hourly news. Bibliography lists 4
