And we hope that Ray Oldenburg himself will be able to join us as a call-in guest. So please keep your ears open for that. In the meantime, it’s summertime, and it’s the time when our Best Third Place comes spectacularly alive with activity. We’ve always had any number of excuses to pay a visit to our central city’s gathering place, and now we have another. Please join your fellow community members downtown as often as you can and keep the Ped Mall’s tradition of the U.S.’s best “agora” going strong!

    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 5 STATE OF IOWA AUGUST 5, 2009 Contact: Brad Berg FY 2010 BUDGETS – UNIVERSITIES, IOWA PUBLIC RADIO, BOARD OFFICE Actions Requested: Consider approval of FY 2010: 1. Regent institutional budgets as presented on pages 5-9. 2. Iowa Public Radio budget as presented in Attachment D on page 23. 3. Board Office operating budget as shown in Attachment E on page 24. Executive Summary: Consistent with the Board’s strategic plan to demonstrate public accountability and effective stewardship of resources, all institutional budgets are approved annually by the Board. The FY 2010 budgets for the special schools were approved at the June 2009 meeting. In April, the Board considered key budgetary issues to provide guidance in the development of the FY 2010 institutional budgets. In June, the Board approved the institutional salary policies and received FY 2010 budget development updates from Iowa’s public universities, which included the projected application of one-time federal economic stimulus funding. The Board also adopted a resolution to hold salaries flat in FY 2010 for all non-bargaining unit employees with exceptions being approved by the institutional heads upon consultation with the Board Office. The Board is now asked to consider approval of the proposed budgets for the universities, Iowa Public Radio, and the Board Office. The Regent institutional budgets include two basic types of funds: General operating funds include operational appropriations, interest income, tuition and fee revenues, reimbursed indirect costs, and sales and services revenues. Some appropriations are designated for specific operating uses and cannot be used for other purposes.

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.
