  • Cooperative Program Tape Networks in Noncommercial EDRS

EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$4.43 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS *Cooperative Programs; *Educational Radio; Higher Education; *Programing (Broadcast); *Questionnaires; Shared Services; Statistical Data; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS Cooperative Program Tape Networks ABSTRACT Over 200 noncommercial radio stations responded to a survey to gather data on the characteristics of member stations and to sample the opinion of nonmembers toward a cooperative network concept. A second survey of 18 networks sought to gather indepth information on network operation. Results showed that 22.2 percent of the stations surveyed were participating in program cooperatives, and over 79 percent felt that network participation would be beneficial. It was concluded that the cooperative program tape network should continue in order to fulfill specialized programing needs. A copy of the two questionnaires, the letter of transmittal, and the mailing list is appended. A list of the networks that participated in the study, 12 statistical tables, and a 20-item bibliography are included.

Over the course of the event, potentially impacted customers were identified in Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Mono, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Tuolumne counties. The PSPS notifications team completed all required notifications to potentially impacted customers, emergency management agencies (county and state), and elected officials in areas which could be and/or were impacted. Pro-active de-energization was ultimately required for a portion of the Riverside County area and affected 85 customers. SCE submits the following report to the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Director of the Safety and Enforcement Division (SED) pursuant to Resolution ESRB-8 and Decision (D.) 19-05-042. In separate sections of this report, SCE sets forth the reasons for its decision to notify customers of the potential for and execution of de-energization and includes an event summary and responses to the questions as required in post-event reporting.

The NPRM proposes new regulations that would require all webcasters to report detailed information on every sound recording played, i.e. to implement census reporting. As the aforementioned Broadcasters who simulcast their signals show below, the proposed move from quarterly reports to year-round census reports with accompanying performance data is unreasonable and not feasible. We strongly urge the CRB to allow quarterly reports using aggregate tuning hours (ATH) for stations like ours. 1 The call signs, colleges and universities, and communities of license are listed at the end of these comments. 1 Our stations are a geographically diverse group of noncommercial, non-CPB funded radio stations licensed to various institutions of higher education throughout California. Financial resources are few; we operate with minimal budgets and with principal staffing comprised mainly of volunteers. Paid professional staff range from 0 to 2.75 full time equivalents. Besides our mission as a broadcast learning experience for students, we explore unique and diverse programming not available in the commercial world.
