Abstract

A Delphi study of 13 college radio advisors in the United States was conducted by e-mail between October 2000 and March 2001. Panelists responded to a 24-item questionnaire over three rounds, eliciting opinions on the likelihood of various events occurring in the college radio industry during 5-; 10-, and 15-year periods. The final consensus suggested five dominant trends affecting college radio: (1) decreasing prestige of college radio advising within the college and university communities; (2) decreasing amount of direct institutional financial support for college radio; (3) an inexorable move toward digital production and transmission; (4) a changing composition of students participating in college radio; and (5) a continual reliance on locally produced alternative music and sports programming.
