The 5th Annual Great Plains Radio History Symposium will be Friday, Oct. 22,

year's symposium will present a special plenary session on an important
feature in the

development of rural Midwestern radio: the radio homemaker. It will also
feature a tribute to

Richard "Dick" Ward Fatherley, former Storz Broadcasting program executive
and co-founder

of the Great Plains Radio History Symposium, who died on March 8, 2010 at
the age of 69.

As in past years, we're looking forward to presentations from a mix of
academic scholars and

broadcast professionals, sharing their research into the history of radio in
the Great Plains

region. This year, the submission deadline of proposed presentations/papers
will be

Wednesday, Aug. 18.
