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.

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.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 085 811 CS 500 553 TITLE College Carrier Current: A Survey of 208 Campus-Limited Radio Stations. INSTITUTION Broadcast Inst. of North America, New York, N.Y. PUB DATE 72 NOTE 52p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *College Students; Educational Research; Mass Media; *Media Research; *Programing (Broadcast) ;Publicize; *Radio; *School Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Carrier Current Radio ABSTRACT The purpose of this survey was to determine the extent to which carrier current radio has become a medium which can link and unify relatively small, well-defined groups in an effective and inexpensive way. The survey focused upon the auspices, structure, affiliation, day-to-day managerial responsibility, and administrative liaison of the stations; their commercial or non-commercial status; and the nature and scope of their programing. A multiple-choice questionnaire wAs mailed to 439 stations; of the 233 that responded, 25 stations reported that they were not operative carrier stations, resulting in a net sample of 208 stations. The findings indicated that: most stations are run as undergraduate student activities, few stations are used for formal or informal training; most stations carry commercial advertising, but few rely upon time sales for their main support; most stations rely upon institutional or student generated funds for their main support; programing consists mainly of recorded music; most stations afford little or no opportunity for student self-expression or news and public affairs programing; and most stations appear relatively free from institutional or outside controls but in most cases there appears to be little or no inclination to use this freedom innovatively.

    THE RADIO BOOK ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 Edition The Radio Book ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 - First Edition The research for this book was undertaken by ReThink Media staff, fellows, and interns between 2013 and 2015. Although we made every effort to speak directly with a producer of each show we list, we were not always successful. The “Features” tags included with many entries are complete to the best of our abilities—but some shows lack them when we could not be sure of a feature. Similarly, pitching intel is available for shows with which we were able to make contact. We would like to acknowledge Alyssa Goard, Katherine O’Brien, Daniel Steiner, and Lisa Bergstrom, who each had a big hand in bringing this project to completion.

    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.
