Losing their Voices

by Haney Howell and Mark Nortz

When small town radio first swept the nation, many towns gained their voices with a local station. It was where they turned for news, obituaries and church services, it’s where they traded their junk on the swap shop, and for most, and it was the home of the local athletic teams. As the country changed, so did radio. In an era of multi-station owners, satellite radio and digital, some question whether local AM and FM stations can survive. This documentary looks at those changes and how some stations in South Carolina have survived while others failed. The filmmakers talk to station owners and personalities, local politicians and local talent, and touch the fever of Friday night football in a sports-mad state. The president of the National Association of Broadcasters, the NAB Sr. VP for Radio, a leading Southern technical consultant, and numerous station owners appear in the film.
