Terry Noel was the first DJ known to purposefully “program” a playlist, namely play a set of records in a particular order to best create and maintain the energy level of the party. Francis Grasso is the earliest known DJ to introduce the concept of “mixing” to the art of record programming. He began “slip cueing” which refers to slamming in a new record on beat with the fading record without interrupting the flow of the program. When Thoren company came out with turntables that had variable speed, called “pitch control”, the concept of blending was born. Francis Grasso quickly picked up on the possibilities offered by the new invention and is credited with the ability to keep two records on beat and in sync for over two minutes. In the meantime, new 12-inch records replaced the traditional 7-inch record and offered the chance to record more music onto the vinyl. In 1975, New York City was the hot spot in the world for dance music and to a large extent, it still is. Clubs started to achieve icon-like status and we can trace the roots of today’s prevailing dance music styles back to the early clubs and DJs, many of whom influenced the way music was to be made, recorded and played in the years to come.

Imagine sitting on your couch, watching your favorite show on T.V., and all of a sudden, it goes to commercials. Your waiting and waiting and the commercials just don’t stop. It’s been at least 6 minutes and you're wondering why these commercials are so long. When you are watching a show and it says its 1 hour long, it's actually in reality 35 minutes longer because of all the commercials. I believe that T.V should have less commercials.

Satellite Radio: Will Howard Stern's move make us change the way we think about radio? Howard Stern's plan to move to satellite radio in January 2006 marks a major turning point for the radio industry. Not only has Stern brought the  possibility of subscribing to satellite radio into the minds of the millions in his audience, he has also gotten more people to start thinking and talking about what really distinguishes satellite radio from traditional radio. Satellite radio was first authorized by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in 1997, seven years after initial applications.

In the commercial break there were a total of six commercials. Ranging from a toy commercial to a commercial selling insurance. Now I expected the commercials just to target the children audience. If a child not only sees a toy commercial, he will want to tell his parents about the toy so that in hopes they might buy it for him or her. As well as want to watch the show not only for the show, but to watch the show for the commercials as well. However, there was only one toy commercial.

Today, I recorded twenty advertisements throughout the school day. I was surprised how much advertising I was exposed to. It was a lot, and the reason why it was a lot is because I was using various platforms the whole day. When I went to bed I realized that when I turned the television on I was exposed to about 4 advertisements every fifteen minutes.

During the work week, internet radio has approximately three times the amount of listeners as all broadcast radio channels combined at all times of the day [1]. While broadcast radio is quickly declining, there is still about $16 billion in advertising revenue coming into the industry [1]. This is a large enough amount of money that broadcast radio won’t die out in the next couple years. The radios can still play the hot new hits from major artist and obtain enough listeners to create advertising revenue. As listeners have migrating from AM radio to FM radio to internet radio, the major advertisers have followed right behind them. The advertising companies want to market where they can hit the most consumers for the smallest amount of money. If there is three times the amount of people listening on the internet than on broadcast radio; it only makes sense to advertise on the internet radio and hit three times the amount of consumers as the same add on broadcast radio would. As we move further into the future, the music industry will be less about selling music to the consumer through iTunes, CS’s, or MP3’s and turn more to selling listeners to advertisers to make the money.

About fifteen years ago a culture was born. In Europe a new type of music was being created. Something new, something fresh. A music fueled by throbbing beats over rattling bass. This is electronic music. The mastermind behind this whole up and coming culture was and is the DJ. In the past five years have become more and more popular everyday. Some people who are not aware of this music or this culture might argue that being a DJ is not a serious profession for various reasons. Throughout this paper I will prove these notions false. As support I will provide the history of the DJ, what exactly it is, insight from various DJ’s and much more.

Hello, my name is Muireann McDaid and today I will be talking about DJ culture.

For the past four years, my job as a DJ has not only been to share my passion for music with listeners, but to offer this passion to my apprentices as well.

People can relate to their favorite television shows, but can they also connect with the commercials that inevitably interrupt their programs? Nowadays, most people would answer “no” by skipping these advertisements through digital video recorders or on-demand and streaming services. However, commercials continue to generate an abundance of revenue for advertising agencies. The most popular television ads target specific audiences, and cable is the most appropriate platform. Advertising agencies strategically place commercials on cable networks that target groups that many viewers may consider underrepresented on television. Prominent examples include commercials on Nickelodeon that target children, ads on TV One that attract African-Americans, and plugs on COZI TV that draw older adult viewers.
