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.

  • From Planetary Dynamics to Global Trade and Human Genetics: a Big History Narrative
    Chapter 3 From Planetary Dynamics to Global Trade and Human Genetics: A Big History Narrative Lewis R. Dartnell Abstract Big History is an academic enterprise engaged in combining many different fields within the sciences and humanities to provide a more complete, long time-frame perspective on human history. Such an interdisciplinary approach is particularly useful within education for providing teachers and students an inter- disciplinary understanding of the causative processes behind major themes and trends of history. Presented here is a Big History narrative that explores the chains of cause and effect between intrinsic features of planet Earth and the course of global history from the early modern period. It traces the deep connections from the circulation dynamics of the Earth’s atmosphere, to the trans-oceanic trade routes established during the Age of Exploration, and the pattern of European colonisation and empire-building in these earliest stages of globalisation that built our modern way of life, and finally to the genetic diversity of populations of people living across the Americas today. Along the way, it will also illustrate the links to seemingly- unrelated topics, such as why many industrial cities developed with an affluent, fashionable west-side contrasting against working-class slums in the East End, and why the Mason-Dixon line separating the Union and Confederate states in the American Civil War and the Great Wall of China both fundamentally follow ecological boundaries. 1 Introduction Big History (Christian 1991), like astrobiology, is an inherently deeply interdisci- plinary field of enquiry. It combines, for example, aspects of astrophysics, planetary sciences, geology, geography, evolutionary biology and anthropology to explore the L.
