GUIDE [ 2007 Annual Report ] GLT: ideas, entertainment, engagement. More than radio- a place vital to connected community. The GLT strategic planning process tried to imagine how these shifts would GLT Annual Report 2007 continue in the decade ahead, and what the entity we call "GLT" will have to by GLT General Manager Bruce Bergethon become in order to survive and thrive. To answer these questions, the staff did a lot of navel-gazing, landscape-watching, and paradigm-shifting. It wasn't just us In the year 2006, GLT looked back, with a hearty celebration of our 40-year doing all the thinking, though. We had a lot of help from The Hile Group, a local and extraordinarily capable management consulting firm. We met with literally heritage. By contrast, in 2007, we looked ahead, trying to lay the groundwork for an even healthier 50th birthday in 2016. The word that summarizes the station's dozens of local community and business leaders, including all the members of our dedicated Friends Council. Key ISU administrators, like Vice Presidents Steve last year is "planning." Bragg and Dianne Ashby and College of Arts and Sciences Dean Gary Olson, also contributed substantially to the planning process. The result of our planning is a vision of the station as "more than radio." Planning and vision We believe that we must become an even more effective catalyst for "ideas, In the fall of 2007, when people asked me, "What's been going on at the station?" entertainment, and engagement" - a place, in both the literal and metaphorical my answer was, "We've been doing strategic planning - and it's been great!" sense, "vital to connected community." This means more platforms for delivering Most of them looked at me as if I had just told them I enjoyed root canals. But distinctive programming, more opportunities for the community to interact with this process, for us, was the highlight of our activity this year. and through GLT, and (we hope) a new physical location for all that to happen. It's an exciting and daunting blueprint, which we also translated into a new mission Literally at the center of 2007, from May to August, we undertook an intense statement, and a five-year action plan - believing that we must be accountable strategic planning process that involved the entire GLT staff In a series of not only to our "owners" at ISU, but to the entire community we serve. meetings and work sessions, we tried to envision where our enterprise is headed in a dynamic and challenging environment. That environment includes changes Illinois State University in funding, and rapid shifts in media usage and expectations. Federal/State Income [ Federal/State Grants On the latter score, we wrestled with the question, "What will radio mean?" -GLT Listeners a decade hence, with personal media like the iPod and the cell phone on Sources of Income Local Income -Local Businesses the ascendant, the Internet a major distribution channel for information and Special Events entertainment, and the assumption that everything we need to hear (and know) - should be available "on demand." $2,000,000 - With regard to funding, we recognized that not only is public radio different from -- ____ 8% --- - our commercial counterparts, but we're changing our own business model as we $1,500,000 27% go along. As you can see from the accompanying chart, GLT had a very different funding mix twenty years ago than it does today. In 1987 (the year before I began working at GLT), the station was largely subsidized by lllinois State University and $1,000,000 3% external grants. This fiscal year (2007), while we literally could not exist without 15% the significant support of the University, the majority (53%) of our operating $500,000 revenues come from local businesses and listeners like you. 1997 2007 Programming (broadcast and otherwise) While the staff of GLT spent a good part of the year imagining our future, we In addition, we brought you First Person also put a lot of energy into the here and now.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.
