Dencv MBA CPA INDEPENDENT ATJDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Verrnont Public Radio We have audited the accompanying ftrancial statements of Vermont Public Radio (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of Septembet 30,2016, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fìnancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the desigr, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fat presentation of financial statements that ate free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perforrn the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedwes selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers intemal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entþ's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vermont Public Radio as of September 30,2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited the Vermont Public Radio's 2015 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated May 6,2016. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended September 30, 2015 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived. ,Uràp* 8.^t**, ß;'Í,Å**, /t's Registration number 553 February 24,2017 -1- "INNovern'n Sorurro|¡s & PnnsoNer, Snnr,rcn" 3 BALDWIN AVENUE SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT O54O3 PHONE: AO2-446-2OO0 TOLL FREE: 1-A77-437-1 12O FAX: A02-846-2001 E-MAIL: [email protected] WEB: www.gdp-cpa.com VERMONT PUBLIC RADIO STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION September 30, 2016 and 2015 2016 2015 ASSETS Current Assets Cash & cash equivalents $ 1,290,651 $ 1,615,626 Underwriting receivable, net 201,746 224,519 Other receivables 6,476 16,108 Pledges receivable, net 1,272,795 1,078,981 Prepaid expenses 36,545 48,746 Total Current Assets 2,808,213 2,983,980 Other Assets Property and equipment, net 12,207,091 6,362,535 Escrow 250,098 -

  • Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017
    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017 Background & Executive Summary § On behalf of the Classical Music Rising project Scott Williams approached NPR to assess what NPR Audience Insights has learned from classical music stations in PPM markets that might apply to all markets. § Using a Mon-Sun 6a-7p schedule, we identified 26 stations whose schedules consist at least 90% of classical music programming in PPM markets and 113 stations in diary metro markets. § Classical music stations in PPM markets… § comprise a larger percentage of listening § Have seen significant growth in listening since 2012; the growth spans from 6a to midnight § These stations have experienced double digit percentage growth in cume and AQH since Spring 2012 across each major daypart (morning, midday, afternoon and evenings) § In terms of percent growth, the largest increases occurred in the MF 3p-7p daypart: (cume 16% and AQH 35%) § Diary market stations … § Have not seen dramatic listening growth. We see a slight bump between 2p and 7p § Have experienced a similar growth in cume listeners, but AQH growth is considerably more modest, and has been flat in the morning daypart and nearly flat in the midday. § Time spent listening in PPM markets has grown over the past year, while it has declined in diary markets. That said, TSL is greater in diary markets, as one might expect using a diary methodology. § Percent of audience that is P1 has remained fairly consistent in PPM and diary markets § Listening to classical music stations in PPM and diary markets is growing in the 65+ demo. § I would be hesitant to draw any listening conclusions in diary markets, given the vastly different AQH measures.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

For centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north India, into Peshawar, Pakistan. Horses, donkeys, and pedestrians compete with huge trucks, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and bicycles along the highway, a commercial route that is dotted with areas of activity right off the road: truck stops, farmer’s stands, bus stops, and all kinds of commercial activity.
