Abstract: Abstract The two decades following the conclusion of the Second World War were relatively quiescent in the field, though as evidenced in Chapter Two, this was also an age in which new possibilities arose. The stodgy, old university-dominated form of educational radio was waning, a victim of apathy, boredom, and the rise of television, but an energetic and voluntaristic alternative model was developed by the anarchist-pacifist Lewis Hill, whose Pacifica Radio was evidence that a challenging, culturally avant-garde radio station (and later network) which was open to a variety of expressed viewpoints could find an audience—and it could also survive without (at first) government subvention.
