[ 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.

In those days, she of you have criticized us for not being more forthcoming about the problems. We was the entire development department at GLT, handling knew that the problems had to do with two transitional technical areas: one in fund drives, business underwriting, publicity and marketing, the delivery system from NPR, and one in our outmoded digital storage system at event coordination - all the things we do to GLT. Frankly, we kept thinking we had patchworksolutions worked out during the raise operating funds for the station. Over the transitions, which were ongoing for a good part of the year. years, Kathryn has built up the local fundraising component of GLT's budget from about 15% (around As I write this (in November 2007), we are confident that GLT program delivery $50,000) when she started, to (this year) over 50%, with will be more consistent in 2008.

-8- -9- An Event-filled Year 2007 was another banner year for GLT as we were out and about in the community - seemingly every weekend. We loved spending time with you at this year's multitude of festivals, concerts, and special events and look forward to sharing another action-packed year with you in 2008.

While we thoroughly enjoy all of our GLT events, together they also make up an important piece of funding for the station. The GLT Equipment Fund benefits from every event you participate in, which helps keep the mechanical side of GLT up and running.

Congratulations on a successful year!
