WTFDA IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS: DOUG SMITH, GREG CONIGLIO, KEITH McGINNIS AND MIKE BUGAJ. Editor and publisher: Mike Bugaj Treasurer: Keith McGinnis wtfda.org Webmaster: Tim McVey wtfda.info Site Administrator: Chris Cervantez Editorial Staff: Jeff Kruszka, Keith McGinnis, Fred Nordquist, Nick Langan, Doug Smith, Peter Baskind, Bill Hale and John Zondlo, Our website: www.wtfda.org; Our forums: www.wtfda.info _______________________________________________________________________________________ We’re back. I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season! So far I’ve heard of just one Es event just before Christmas that very briefly made it to FM and another Es event that was noticed by Chris Dunne down in Florida that went briefly to FM from Colombia. F2 skip faded away somewhat as the solar flux dropped down to the 130s. So, all in all, December has been mostly uneventful. But keep looking because anything can still happen. We’ve prepared a “State of the Club” message for this issue. This is part one. Part two should be next month as we examine club finances in light of the switch of most club members from paper VUD to the VUD eZine. Keith should have the figures for us to look at in the February VUD. This month we give a proper welcome to David Yocis (WV). David is the editor/publisher of the NRC’s DX News. Welcome to our alternate universe, David! Renewals received during the period from November 19th through December 11th came from Bryce Foster (TN), John Adams (OR), Randall Trapp (MN), John Jefferson (WA), John Demmit (PA), Ed Norris (IN), Ted Liszewski (NJ), Richard Nelson (OH), Brian May (CT), Gary Olson (FL), Roger Sabella (IL), Ed MacDonald (MO), Chris Lucas (CT), Chester Jaffee (CA) and Barry Bauer (DE). Thanks for all of your support of the WTFDA! Ed MacDonald writes “Thanks for the (renewal) reminder, Mike. I’m an old guy and don’t do a very good job of remembering to renew. P.S. I also misplace reminders.” Well, Ed, I don’t do a very good job or remembering anything anymore. Luckily I didn’t misplace your note. Chris Lucas writes: “Enclosed is my check for $10 for membership renewal in the WTFDA. Membership has been great this past year and has helped my DXing a lot.” Chris and I first met each other back in the 60s when we were both teenagers in CT and in the NRC. And the fact that years later we are both still into DXing just goes to show you that we’re both still nuts (well, me anyway). In all the years I’ve been publishing the VUD, I have never had a major computer crash until now. Actually the timing was good because it happened a day after the December VUD was mailed. I turned on the computer one morning and was immediately told to either insert some .dll files or reload Windows. Well, it became impossible to do either and now I’m on a different computer. Luckily my son Chris was able to get everything I needed off of the old hard drive. Chris and Jeff R. saved the day. Thanks, guys!! That’s it for January. The February VUD may be late. You are hereby warned. -Mike 2 Douglas E.

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.
