Annual Report | 2013

Maine Public Broadcasting Network From the President & CEO

Friends,

T HAS BEEN AN EXCITING YEAR at MPBN, and I am pleased to tell you that we Ihave weathered all of our challenges, embraced our successes and believe that MPBN, in keeping with our mission, stands tall as Maine’s primary source for quality news, information, and entertainment. MPBN’s award-winning news department continues to be relied on across Maine for the depth of our coverage, and that strength was reinforced with the launch of the Maine Capitol Connection which offered statewide TV coverage of the Legislature for the first time in Maine history. We saw additional popularity in the expansion of our noontime Maine Calling. Our election coverage, both on radio and television and additionally online, was lauded by our viewers, listeners, and members as being comprehensive and essential in charting the voting season in Maine and across the country. The news team has been busy! Our radio listenership itself continued to rise as program changes resulting from listener feedback and our Community Advisory Board hit their mark. Local programming like In Tune with Sara Willis and Jazz Tonight with Rich Tozier grew audience share and legions of new followers. Our strategy for radio pledge, the one-day “Super Thursday” format, tapped into listeners’ enthusiasm to keep the programs interruption-free as much as possible and has proven to be a true success. The television side, too, experienced an exciting year, led of course by the juggernaut known as Downton Abbey. The quality and breadth of programs coming to us from PBS – from NOVAto new Masterpiece offerings – continue to really impress us and excite our audience. MPBN released its own documentary, Sixteenth Maine at Gettysburg, to great fanfare as the film was debuted on MPBN Television on the 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg itself. Talk about timing! This was a year of significant financial challenges, leading to staff reductions and a reassessment of our strategic plan. We carefully navigated these waters and believe that the changes we made remain in keeping with our stated focus on journalism, integrating the possibilities of new technologies across all our platforms, and driving sustainability across our footprint. We are positioning ourselves to serve our current and future audiences well. I am saddened to report that two great friends of MPBN, former CEO and President Jim Dowe, whose deft leadership during periods of financial uncertainty served MPBN incredibly well, and former board member and longtime supporter Albert Glickman, passed away this past year. Their enthusiasm for public broadcasting and love for MPBN were con- tagious and remain a palpable force within our organization today. They will be greatly missed. One major achievement occurred with the Maine State Legislature, as the MPBN governance structure that has been in place for the past twenty-two years was modified to allow for more flexibility in our statewide board. The founding institutions and their leaders, the presidents of Bowdoin, Bates and Colby Colleges, as well as the Chancellor of UMS, will move out of their state-mandated roles as trustees, and instead will become trusted friends and supporters. And their attention and care will continue as our relationship evolves. This is an appropriate time to thank these indi- viduals and their institutions for their dedication to the cause of public broadcasting. Our roots are deep in the soil of higher education in Maine, and we see this continuing and expanding as MPBN continues to evolve and grow. We want to thank you – the tens of thousands of contributors to public radio and television here in Maine – for your stead- fast support and the relationship that we have formed with each of you. The personal importance of our programming is something you have told us about day in and day out, and we have worked diligently this past year to be your partner. The ensuing pages detail just a few of the exciting developments that have taken place at MPBN over the past year and what we have accomplished. Your support has made all of this possible. Thank you!

Best regards,

Mark Vogelzang, President & CEO

A number of firsts have taken place with MPBN once again relied upon a slew of volunteers to assist both with the arrival of Maine Capitol Connection, radio and television pledge drives. Our MPBN Super Thursday format including the first live broadcast of the en- for radio pledge is a completely unique fundraising model for public tire legislative session (House and Senate) radio across the nation. and the first broadcast of oral arguments before the Maine Supreme Court!

Masterpiece’s Downton Abbey took Maine (and the nation!) by storm as a record number of viewers watched the trials and tribulations of Lord Grantham, Lady Mary and the entire cast. MPBN joined in the fun with two screenings – at the Portland Museum of Art in Portland and The Frontier in Brunswick – and welcomed attendees dressed in period attire to enjoy their evenings in style!

Balanced, in-depth coverage of elections, debates, and politics is at the heart of public broadcasting, and keeping the electorate informed about and engaged in the issues important to Maine is central to our mission. MPBN’s Your Vote 2012 provided Maine with com- prehensive coverage of all the political races, debates and issues across all of MPBN’s communication channels. (AP photos.)

MPBN’s coverage of the Maine Principal’s Association High School Basketball Tourna- ment had an unexpected outcome for MPBN. MPBN staff were on the spot capturing the last-second heroics in the Class A East title MPBN celebrated music of every kind in a big way with the Music game between Lawrence and Hampden. The that Moves ME initiative with audio diary clips airing on radio, resulting video clip became an Internet sen- listeners submitting their own musical reminiscences, and cele- sation, and the highlight was shown as part brating free music on a single day across Maine. We also collected of ESPN’s SportsCenter’s “Top 10 Plays.” a treasure trove of musical instruments for needy performers.
