  • Report to the Community Fy15
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY F Y15 INSPIRING A SMARTER WORLD Dear Friends, FY 2015 was a year of challenges and great opportunities, and a turning point in KCTS 9’s 60-year history. I am happy to share that the year has been a success. Your support has allowed us to meet our goal of providing meaningful content that is relevant to our community—on air, online and in person. The media landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, with fundamental changes in the way audiences choose and view content. Today, more than one in three visitors to KCTS9.org use a tablet or mobile device to connect with us. Five years ago, that figure was less than 5 percent. With new tools and technologies, the public has become actively involved in the creation, selection and distribution of content. We live in a world where time-shifted viewing, streaming video, tablets and smartphones have profoundly changed how audiences consume and share content. How does a public media organization stand out when, with today’s technology, everyone is a media company? We met this challenge by launching an initiative to produce innovative digital offerings that broaden the content we provide and the platforms on which we provide it. While staying true to our mission to inspire a smarter world, we shifted to a digital-first strategy. We are committed to creating, commissioning and curating local content with a continued adherence to the public-media beliefs that have defined KCTS 9 for 60 years. In FY 2015, we brought you live public dialogues including political debates and election coverage; a current affairs series that explores in depth stories from across the Northwest; local specials on environmental issues; community events that celebrate our diverse cultures; and educational programming that is free and accessible to all.

    TENTH ANNUAL CHARITY DAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 • NEW YORK Thursday, September 11, 2014 marked BGC’s Tenth Annual Charity Day. BGC Partners, together with its affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, raised approximately $12 million globally on this single day for dozens of charities around the world. To date, Charity Day has raised approximately $113 million for hundreds of charitable causes. Held in commemoration of the 658 Cantor employees and 61 Eurobrokers employees lost in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, each anniversary is a poignant occasion for us. Every year, BGC Partners and our affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, strive to turn a tragic day into one that is positive and uplifting by distributing 100% of our global revenues on Charity Day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and dozens of charities around the world. The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, initially created to assist families of Cantor employees who were lost on 9/11, has since broadened its mission to provide aid to victims of terrorism, natural disasters, emergencies, direct service charities and wounded members of the military. We are thankful to all our celebrity guests who joined us in New York on Charity Day and raised money for tremendous causes. In addition, many thanks to our clients, brokers and charities whose commitment, support, enthusiasm and graciousness made Charity Day a spectacular success.

  • Meet the Tribute Stars and Their Backing Band…
    Meet the tribute stars and their backing band… Sharon Owens (Barbara Streisand): Upon graduating from high school in 1984, Sharon shot off on her way into the real world of touring with American Entertainment Company in Columbus Ohio. A year on the road opening for country acts such as the Mandrells, Letterman, and Willie Nelson, Sharon decided to stop the rolling stone and get her education before returning to the entertainment biz. During her studies, she spent many summers in Cambridge, England, where she studied under John Rutter, the famous 20th century composer. During the school year, Sharon would study Opera during the day then run to her night gig, where she sang and danced in the Busch Gardens Main Theater in Tampa Bay Florida. After years of vocal training and a strong master's of education under her belt, Sharon took off for Los Angeles to pursue a career in ANYTHING that had to do with entertainment. Sharon didn’t realize at the time that she was to become a pioneer in the tribute business. Unlike many of the other impersonators who are “lookalikes,” she didn’t study voice and acting simply to be called a tribute artist. “Imitating Streisand became an acting job,” she insists. “So many movies have been made where famous actors immerse themselves into their movie character and then tell a life story of the REAL person, I simply do the same thing, but on stage.” Soon after starting out as a dynamic mimic of the incomparable Streisand, Sharon began to take the comedy routine more seriously.

  • Summary of Fiscal Years 2009–2012
    SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP Jim McCluney Chairman Jim McCluney has served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Emulex Corporation and Vixel Corporation, and has held senior executive positions with worldwide responsibilities at both Apple Corporation and Digital Equipment Corporation. Most recently, Mr. McCluney was instrumental in developing Emulex’s strategy for growth and executing four strategic acquisitions: Endace, ServerEngines, Aarohi Communications and Sierra Logic, positioning Emulex for entry into new high-growth market segments. His visionary growth strategies and global market knowledge have cemented him as an asset to the PBS SoCaL Board of Trustees, holding the position of Board Chair. “PBS SoCaL is California’s largest classroom, the 2nd largest broadcast market in the US, the largest stage for the arts and our most trusted source of information. These are just a few examples of why I chose to serve on the Board of PBS SoCaL. I see an expansive and developing future for PBS SoCaL.” Mel Rogers President & CEO As a former radio and television reporter and program host, Mr. Rogers is passionate about TV and radio aimed at creating an informed citizenry. He became the president of KOCE-TV in 1997, at which point he aggressively expanded efforts to make the station an indispensable part of the Orange County fabric. After 17 years under Rogers’ leadership, PBS SoCaL is now one of the top 3 most watched PBS stations among the nation’s 350 PBS stations. His public television influence extends beyond Southern California—he completed six years as a member of the national PBS Board of Directors and three years as Chair of the California Public Television Association and is former Chair of the Utah Broadcasters Association.
