ABSTRACT

The radio and music industries have a symbiotic relationship: record label teams convince station managers to play certain songs that attract an audience to sell to advertisers while increasing music sales. This article shows how one Canadian station used geography and a disruptive format to have an outsized influence on the American music business in the 1970s. CKLW also provided a conduit to the U.S. market for Canadian musicians it was required to play. But an effort to continue that success as an FM station was stymied by Canadian regulators.

1970年代：来自加拿大的CKLW电台如何主宰美国音乐

摘要

广播和音乐行业有着共生的关系：唱片公司的团队说服电台台经理播放某些歌曲，这些歌曲可以吸引听众销售给广告商，同时提高音乐销量。本文介绍了加拿大一家电台如何利用地理和颠覆性格式在1970年代对美国音乐行业产生巨大影响。CKLW还为需要演奏的加拿大音乐家提供了通往美国市场的渠道。但是加拿大监管机构阻碍了调频电台继续取得成功的努力。
