KDFI airs a 15-minute newscast following every Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars telecast – there were a total of 97 such telecasts in 2003.
KDFW and KDFI maintain a strong commitment to local news that includes assigning reporters to specific community-based beats. The stations go beyond coverage of local and county governments to include neighborhood issues, local political candidates and topics, and stories important to the different minority communities, groups and organizations working in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Although the news staff primarily works from the main office in downtown Dallas, the stations maintain a presence in local bureaus in the surrounding neighborhoods. The station employs a diverse staff of reporters and producers to better cover the many facets of this large market. Provided below is a brief summary of important local news issues that KDFW and KDFI have covered recently within their local news broadcasts:
* Community reaction to the firing of the Dallas police chief * State redistricting and special legislative session * Opening of Latino Cultural Center in Dallas * Increase in natural gas rates * Ft. Worth affordable housing programs
A list of KDFW's and KDFI's local interest news stories and consumer reports is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Breaking News Updates
KDFW broke into and/or preempted regularly-scheduled programming hundreds of times during the period covered by this report in order to bring its viewers breaking news or disaster information. This coverage included extended reporting on severe weather, political news (such as President Reagan's funeral) and local crime news. In addition, each of KDFW and KDFI inserted amber alert and severe weather crawls into their programming at least 90 times in an effort to provide its viewers with vitally important missing persons and local weather updates as quickly as possible.
Public Affairs Programming
KDFW and KDFI each broadcast a half-hour weekly public affairs program called "Insights." The program is the oldest public affair show in Dallas/Ft. Worth. It addresses issues and topics of concern to the community – particularly communities of color within the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a comprehensive list of the stories covered by "Insights" during the time period covered by this report.
In addition, both KDFW and KDFI air a variety of other local programming of interest to the viewers in Dallas/Ft. Worth. For example, KDFW has broadcast special programs relating to a local marathon, weather preparedness, and the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination. KDFI produces and airs local Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars baseball and hockey games.
Political Coverage
KDFW and KDFI have devoted extensive time to coverage of political issues important to their viewers. During the time period covered by this report, for instance, KDFW has aired special coverage of zoning issues and development (including the new proposed Cowboys stadium), budgets and taxes, and the impact of population growth on local municipal services. Similarly, KDFI has provided coverage of the Dallas County sheriff's campaign. Both stations covered the Texas legislature's special session related to redistricting. In addition, for the two-week sample time period running September 13-27, 2004, KDFW aired approximately 200 minutes of local and national political coverage during its newscasts.
Public Service Announcements
KDFW and KDFI make their air-time throughout the broadcast day available to public service announcements for a variety of causes, such as:
* Susan G. Komen Foundation * Paws for the Cause (guide dogs) * V-Chip/Ratings * Rotary International * Make a Wish Foundation * Boy Scouts * ESRB (video game ratings) * Partnership for a Drug Free America
2
For each of two sample weeks (January 12-19 and June 14-21, 2004), KDFI broadcast more than 175 minutes of public service announcements – all without charging any of the organizations or causes for the time. Similarly, for the sample week June 14-21, 2004, KDFW broadcast more than 27 minutes of public service announcements (it did not broadcast any during the week of January 12-19 because the station had just completed a six-week "Toys for Tots" initiative).
Participation in the Community
Both KDFW's and KDFI's on-air newscasters and behind-the-scenes employees have made a commitment to participate in the Dallas/Ft. Worth community. The stations' employees take part in a variety of events in and around Dallas/Ft. Worth, such as:
* Brighter Tomorrow (battered women's shelter) * Plano Balloon Festival * Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure * City of Garland Star Spangled Fourth Celebration * Dallas Summer Musical Guild
KDFW and KDFI constantly gather information about the needs and interests of the members of their community, both through meetings with special interest groups and community leaders. The stations also employ a community affairs director, who meets regularly with area groups and individuals.
A comprehensive list of the stations' participation in the community, and their communications with community groups and leaders, is attached as Exhibit C hereto.
