  Michael C. Keith of Boston College writes mostly about the subject he lectures on, broadcast media—especially radio.Autobiography is a departure for him.As he says, "I knew I had a very different story about childhood to tell" when he decided to pen a memoir, the recently released THE NEXT BETTER PLACE.And he was right.Staring in 1959 at the age of 11, he ventured forth upon a nomadic, picaresque existence across the U.S. with his penniless, irresponsible, and alcoholic father.
  
  The great radio dramatist/journalist Norman Corwin calls it "a marvel of a book.At once an unparalleled travelogue, a pageant of characters and characterization, a history of father and son totally apart from anything ever written."
  
  "I felt my story had something of genuine value to say," Keith told AUDIOFILE.
  ...
  "There is some elaboration," Keith admitted, "but I relied mostly on what still exists in my memory banks.
  ...
  "I was always a fan of old and new radio dramas," Keith told us, "so it was a natural move to audiobooks because they also rely on the spoken word.

  The decline in "local focus" has resulted in dwindling shares of the radio listenership, according to Michael Keith, professor of communications at Boston College and author of "The Radio Station," the most widely used text on the topic."In such a turbulent environment, managers like Mickey Luckoff are what is keeping radio alive and relevant," Keith said.

  Over time, community groups have come to use the airwaves to broadcast their own public education programs, said Michael C. Keith, a Boston College professor and author on the history of American radio.
  
  "Many of these stations go on because they feel their interests are not being served by the major radio stations," he said.
  ...
  Keith said the FCC has loosened licensing guidelines so that low-powered stations can serve a community purpose with local programming.But still the application procedure is strict and too expensive for many community groups.In the meantime, stations continue to sprout, unlicensed, throughout the country, particularly in the Boston area.They call themselves "Free Radio," or "People's radio."
  
  "It's local coverage on community issues," Keith said.

  "I don't see it supplanting (traditional) stations anytime in the near future," he said.

  'The variety is wonderful,' said Michael Keith, a professor at Boston College who studies radio. 'There's far more diversity in terms of what audiences can find on the Internet than certainly you'll find' on traditional radio.

  'I don't see it supplanting' traditional 'stations anytime in the near future,' he said. 'I think what you'll end up with, symbolically, is an audio mall where there is Internet, satellite and traditional radio providing various avenues for people to find content they want.'
  
  The modest success of these small stations has attracted the attention of the established radio industry, which is putting its broadcasts on the Internet.
