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. -

For centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north India, into Peshawar, Pakistan. Horses, donkeys, and pedestrians compete with huge trucks, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and bicycles along the highway, a commercial route that is dotted with areas of activity right off the road: truck stops, farmer’s stands, bus stops, and all kinds of commercial activity. -

Potential Impacts to Public Radio Transmission Facilities from TV Band Repacking
Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB A Report To The Corporation for Public Broadcasting Regarding Potential Impacts To Public Radio Transmission Facilities From TV Band Repacking Dennis Wallace William Meintel MEINTEL, SGRIGNOLI, & WALLACE, LLC 1282 Smallwood Drive, Suite 372 Waldorf, MD 20603 (202) 251-7589 February 2, 2017 Radio Impacts from TV Facility Changes 1 of 11 Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB Executive Summary The firm of Meintel, Sgrignoli, and Wallace, LLC (MSW) is pleased to provide the following report to the Corporation for Public Television (CPB) in response to its Scope of Work to provide Post-Auction Spectrum Planning services to CPB. Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations. -

Ernie Wesolowski of the NRC reports that about 30 people attended, all of them members of both clubs. Off to your left are two photos that I was able to find of convention attendees. Sorry but I can’t put names to the bodies in the pictures, but I think the guy in the Hawaiian shirt is Frank Merrill. Ernie (red hat, I think) sent over two photos of the Omaha antenna farm. These are located on the inside back cover. This convention could very well turn out to be the last convention, so I hope those who went enjoyed it.
