BUDGET UNIT BRIEF – FY 2022 Fiscal Services Division July 1, 2021 Ground Floor, State Capitol Building Des Moines, Iowa 50319 515.281.3566 Iowa PBS Purpose and History Iowa PBS is Iowa's statewide public broadcasting network. The organization’s mission is to present an unequaled array of programs of lasting value to Iowans regardless of where they live or what they can afford. Iowa PBS changed its name from Iowa Public Television (IPTV) in 2020. Iowa Public Television began in 1967 when the State Educational Radio and Television Facility Board was created and charged with developing a State network to broadcast educational programs. The Board was composed of nine members selected in the following manner: three members appointed by the State Board of Regents, three members appointed by the State Board of Education, and three members appointed by the Governor, with at least one member from a private four-year college or university. The Board’s name was changed in 1983 to the Iowa Public Broadcasting Board. The membership now includes: • Four citizen representatives appointed by the Governor, including representation from the business community, the television industry, and the Friends of Iowa PBS/Iowa PBS Foundation (see below). • Five members representing the private colleges and universities, the community colleges, the area education agencies, the Board of Regents, and the Board of Education. In 1982, the IPTV Foundation Board was established to solicit and manage gifts of money and property and to make grants and gifts to Iowa PBS. Also established around this time was Friends of IPTV, an organization established to solicit smaller donations from the general public to benefit Iowa PBS.

(“CSI”), an advisory firm to PMVG, and Anya Shetler, Senior Consultant to CSI, met by videoconference with Commissioner Brendan Carr and Benjamin Arden, Legal Advisor for Media Issues to Commissioner Carr. The parties discussed PMVG’s efforts to facilitate the transition among public television stations to the next generation television broadcast standard, ATSC 3.0, and some of the ways public television stations may use ATSC 3.0 and single frequency networks to deliver additional services to the public beyond linear television. The parties stressed, consistent with PVMG’s comments in the Broadcast Internet proceeding, the importance of clarifying the Commission’s rules related to the delivery of ancillary and supplementary services in an ATSC 3.0 environment. In response to a question concerning the FCC’s pending proceeding on distributed transmission systems (DTS), PMVG expressed its support for the proposed changes, citing the comments of The Merrill Weiss Group on the relationship between signal strength and ATSC 3.0 data capacity.1 Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2), a copy of PMVG’s written presentation is attached hereto. Sincerely, /s/ Mark Hand /s/ Marc Hand Chief Executive Officer [email protected] 1 See Comments of the Merrill Weiss Group, LLC, MB Dkt.

CPB-Stabilization-Funding-Request
Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stabilization Funding Request and Justification FY 2021 Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget and to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies January 26, 2021 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) FY 2021 Stabilization Funding Request STATEMENT OF NEED AND REQUEST The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) is very appreciative of the $75 million in stabilization funding in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020. This financial assistance was vital in providing stability to our nation’s public media system during the early months of the crisis. Today, we request an additional $175 million in stabilization funding to ensure the continued viability of public media stations during this period of extraordinary economic hardship. Although our data indicates that public media’s stabilization needs exceed $400 million, we are mindful of the difficult decisions the new Administration and Congress must make during this time. CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to high-quality, non-commercial content and telecommunications services that educate, inform and enrich the public. Further, in many states and local communities, public media stations’ digital and broadcast infrastructure provide the backbone for emergency alert, public safety, first responder and homeland security services. If stations are forced to cut additional jobs or further reduce content and services, their
