Speaking Amplitudes
This study explores the dynamic variations in Swedish radio broadcasting from 1980 to 1998, focusing on amplitude. The analysis examines volume variations across the three main public service channels to identify patterns in music and speech. P3, the youth channel, shows a marked increase in amplitude, reflecting the influence of the global “loudness war.” P2, which focuses on classical and world music, reaches a plateau during the 1990s. P1, the…

Formatted Sound
Locating the Format What is format radio? At a glance, the answer might seem simple. In common parlance, the concept is often presented as a pejorative counterpart to non-commercial broadcasting. However, to render the concept synonymous with commercial broadcasting neglects its historical specificity. Previous research has demonstrated the nuanced factors at stake in the selection of music at specific broadcasting stations (Ahlkvist and Fisher 3…
The Noise of the News
Looking back on the very first year of television in Sweden, the head of programming Henrik Hahr celebrated having brought the world into “the living room of the viewer”. From the emergence of Swedish public service television in 1956 and onwards, the medium would be lauded as a window to the world. Yet, what noises came through this window? Shifting focus away from the visual content of television, this article explores and emphasizes the sonic …
Rhythms of Silence
How can silence be studied, and what can we learn from it? This article explores the so-called 'modernization' of Swedish Public Service radio by pertaining to pauses, halts and the absence of content. By applying computational analysis to the broadcasting archive, radio can be explored on a larger scale than previously affordable. The article argues that it is possible to understand the rhythm between more and less dense content by studying the …

Sverige var ett av de första landen i världen att genomföra heltäckande arkivering av nationellt massmedieinnehåll. Resultatet är en unikt omfattande samling arkiverade ljud, som med varje dag växer exponentiellt. Trots detta är ljudarkivet en av de minst utnyttjade källorna i kulturhistorisk forskning. Mot denna bakgrund reflekterar följande artikel kring frågan: Vilka grundläggande problem innebär ljudarkivet som källa? Artikeln sammanfattar de…
