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.

  • Media for Wisconsin Schools

    Media for Wisconsin Schools

    www.ecb.org Media for Wisconsin Schools 2007-2009 Biennium From the Executive Director Partnerships Trusted. Quality. Educational. These are just some of the words that describe the work of the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB) and its mission to provide public service media to the citizens of Wisconsin. The decades-long partnership between the ECB and the University of Wisconsin-Extension provides the foundation for Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television. The proliferation of alternative media platforms also means that the need for trusted, high quality, educational content has never been greater and the ECB provides that in a number of ways. The ECB’s Education Division acquires and produces some of the highest quality educational content in the country. Over the last two years, ECB’s educational productions have continued to win nationwide recognition while serving the needs of over 56,000 teachers and 870,000 students throughout the state. Produced in cooperation with the Department of Public Instruction and with a strong adherence to Wisconsin’s model academic standards, the ECB’s Educational Division delivers over 37 hours of instructional programming every week on Wisconsin Public Television alone. Whether it’s through Wisconsin Public Television, ECB’s partnerships with Milwaukee Public Television and WDSE-TV in Duluth, Minnesota—or through datacasting and Internet platforms, the ECB remains committed to statewide service. But providing high quality content is just one part of the ECB’s responsibilities. ECB’s Delivery Division is responsible for building, operating and maintaining the broadcast infrastructure that hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin residents rely upon every day.
