Metra and CTA also received a combined $240 million in earmarks for capital projects through this funding source. As transit riders often make connections between CTA, Metra and Pace services, investments for all three service boards are expected to help improve the quality of public transportation regionally. Capital funding from the state is in addition to separate sources of funding all three agencies receive. Additionally, Rebuild Illinois will allow new sources of annual revenues to fund capital projects, primarily through the Transportation Renewal Fund, which will reserve 18 percent of receipts towards public transportation projects in Northeastern Illinois.

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.

I begin with a brief history of my management and administrative experiences in public radio management. Prior to receiving my doctorate in Heritage Studies from Arkansas State University, I managed and supervised professional personnel and student staff at university radio stations in Mississippi, Illinois, Maryland and Nebraska. As Associate Professor at Jackson State University, I taught broadcasting courses in the Department of Mass Communications. I advised broadcast students; collaborated with faculty on departmental projects; and, developed a recruiting plan to increase student diversity in the Mass Communications Department at Jackson State University. During my tenure as Assistant Professor/Director of Media Operations- KVNO/UNO-Television at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, I managed, directed budget and supervised professional staff and taught in the School of Communication. Additionally, I collaborated with faculty and community organizations to develop design and implement a public outreach media campaign to support homeless youths. In 2008, I collaborated with colleagues and community leaders to spearhead a clothing drive in Omaha, Nebraska designed to collect and transport clothes to homeless Ethiopian youths living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The clothing drive involved participation of high school, college students, local businesses, state and elected officials in Omaha, Nebraska and Houston, Texas. I planned and initiated a highly visible community service initiative titled, “Children of Omaha Public Service Media Initiative,” winner of the Nebraska Broadcaster Award of Excellence in 2009.
