Thomas and Theresa R. Clifford December 2005 STATION RESOURCE GROUP 6935 Laurel Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912 301.270.2617 www.srg.org TThhee PPuubblliicc RRaaddiioo FFoorrmmaatt SSttuuddyy:: LLiisstteenniinngg PPaatttteerrnnss Each week the 393 public radio organizations supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting reach some 27 million listeners. 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.

    STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY A FOCUS ON PUBLIC RADIO DECEMBER 2014 STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY Q4 Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company 1 THE ECLECTIC AUDIO LANDSCAPE In today’s fragmented media world, where consumers have more choices and more access to content than ever before, audio remains strong. 91.3% of all Americans (age 12+) are using radio during the week. Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small. Public Radio is a unique and relevant part of the lives of 32 million Americans and exists in large part due to the financial support of the listeners we examine in the following pages.

Stuffing envelopes at DJ meetings was a nice touch. Phone banking was more efficient thanks to lists exported from Salesforce. Gavin: Switch to salesforce is paying off. Best data yet for the drive. Organized data helped us be more efficient. Will continue to improve with subsequent drives. Still 18 days this time. Try to get to 14 days but include all DJs in the drive. Chris: great energy during the drive and after. Kick-ass shows from DJs last week. All DJs shows should have a chance/challenge to participate in drive. Gavin: Thank you shindig was also kick-ass. Great music, attendance, energy. We received $1000 Record Club donations from Bridget Badon and Bob Purvis. Aspen Thrift granted us $3500 for general operating for 2019. Received the check today so the dollar amount is not reflected on the Jan-Aug Budget vs. Actual. Colorado Media Project grant work continues.

The Snowy Range Mu- sic Festival in Laramie, Wyoming, is history be- cause there wasn’t enough support to keep it go- ing. Despite the legendary blues performers who came year after year it was time to close it down. In the city of Denver there isn’t one club or ven- ue dedicated to the blues. The Boulder Outlook has been gone for quite some time. The blues has always been the dark family secret, the forgot- ten stepchild of pop music and modern rock. The blues will always be with us. It doesn’t need to be re-invented by anyone. There are clubs all over the state that present live blues-based music every week.
