  • Local TV Personality Is Back at WSIE. Can He Save Jazz Radio? by ELIZABETH DONALD [email protected]
    Local TV personality is back at WSIE. Can he save jazz radio? BY ELIZABETH DONALD [email protected] It was 1972, and the fledgling Southern Illinois University Edwardsville had only had its radio station for two years when Steve Jankowski first came to work. SIUE is one of the few universities to have a full 50,000-watt radio station license, Jankowski said, which gave those early mass communications students experience working on a real radio station. Often lauded as the only true jazz station in the St. Louis market, WSIE has been operating since Sept. 4, 1970, a jazz station for at least 30 of those years, much of that time as an NPR affiliate and always with a mixture of students and staff behind the microphones and sound boards. “This is where my broadcast career began 45 years ago,” Jankowski said. “I love radio and I deeply love this radio station. It provided me the educational platform I needed to launch a successful career.” Jankowski’s career took him into St. Louis radio as a sports announcer, then news radio, and eventually to television, where he rose to Illinois bureau chief for KSDK before leaving in 2006. He returned to SIUE as director of alumni affairs, but in November, he moved to WSIE. He became interim general manager of the radio station in January with a new challenge: Save the radio station. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER APPROPRIATION. BUT WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO MAKE IT SELF-SUFFICIENT WITHIN THREE YEARS.

The Nashville Jazz Workshop (NJW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching people’s lives through jazz education and performance. For 20 years the NJW has delivered world class performances and music education to Nashville audiences and jazz fans around the country and the world. 2020 has been a challenging year for cultural institutions everywhere as they seek to fulfill their missions and remain financially viable. Fortunately, the internet has enabled the NJW to continue serving audiences and students – over 20,000 people have subscribed to the NJW’s YouTube channel to view live and archived performances and hundreds have enrolled in virtual classes since social distancing restrictions began in March. Jazzmania is the NJW’s annual jazz party and fundraiser. As a live event it has been “the jazz party of the year” and one of the city’s most engaging and fun charity events. As with other charity events, the event is moving online this year as a virtual event. On October 24, 2020 the Workshop will host Jazzmania as an online jazz party and evening of world class jazz performances. We will share our love of jazz, celebrate the Workshop’s 20th anniversary and ask our devoted fans to open their hearts and wallets to support the Workshop. The streaming event will also be targeted to a global audience, to build awareness of the NJW and engagement with jazz fans around the world. Proceeds from the event will support the NJW’s Music Education, Performance Series and Community Outreach.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1996
    TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support­ ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches­ tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou­ sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life. The Endowment shows the world that we take pride in American culture here and abroad. It is a beacon, not only of creativity, but of free­ dom. And let us keep that lamp brightly burning now and for all time.

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.
