The 2015 radio controversy “SaladGate” revealed a lack of female music artists gaining airplay. This study expands a previous gender analysis of American music radio into a longitudinal study. A content analysis of 192 stations revealed that airplay is increasing for females. However, most of these gains came from the Top-40 format, echoing concerns about the recording industry’s preference that women become pop stars, leaving all other musical genres to men. The results suggest the existence of a gender order in music radio, one that works hand-in-hand with the music industry to exclude women.

关于“西红柿”和“男人”：音乐广播形式的性别持续分析

2015年的电台争议节目“ SaladGate”显示，缺少女性音乐艺术家可以播放音乐。这项研究将先前对美国音乐电台的性别分析扩展为纵向研究。对192个电视台的内容分析表明，女性的空中娱乐活动正在增加。但是，这些收益中的大部分来自Top-40格式，这与人们对唱片业偏爱女性成为流行歌手，将所有其他音乐流派留给男性的担忧相呼应。结果表明，音乐广播中存在一种性别秩序，该秩序与音乐界携手合作，将女性排除在外。
