We brought in 60 new members (including individuals, families & businesses). Greg exceeded our projections for Business Challenges and as of today we have deposited over $35,000 for 2019. 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. Over 300 KDNK members (including businesses) qualified for the 3-month trial of The Colorado Sun. We will send invitations via email to this subset of members with a link to opt in to the Sun membership. We have received half of the $5k grant funds so far. I interviewed the editor of The Colorado Sun, Larry Ryckman, on August 29 and will interview reporter Jennifer Brown this week about their newest statewide project. Classroom rental for a Colorado Mountain College class on American Sign Language is set for Monday nights October 7 through November 25. We are pleased to partner with CMC.

That includes Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me, Hidden Brain, and Latino USA. There is a 1% discount if paid in full, but due to cash flow considerations, we will pay quarterly. NPR announced the next CEO will be veteran media executive John Lansing. I signed the MOU on behalf of RMCR to continue the agreement with KUNC for another year of Capitol Coverage with reporter Scott Franz. (Three of our partner stations made recent internal promotions. KOTO hired Cara Pallone as ED, KBUT hired Jackson Petito as GM, KRCC hired Kyle Cunningham as GM. Meanwhile KVNF and KHEN searches for new GMs continue.)

    Hunter Thompson:' We're the Nazis in This Game' (continued) by DEMOCRACYNOW.ORG Thompson. He shot himself Sunday night at his home in Woody Creek Colorado. He was 67 years old. He first became well known during the late 1960s and early 1970s while working for Rolling Stone where his drug-induced books Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail were first serialized. Thompson once said, "I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone ... but they've always worked for me." Thompson identified the death of the American Dream as his reporter's beat. He called his style of writing "gonzo" journalism. He said, "Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long." Hunter S. Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1937. He served two years in the Air Force where he was a newspaper sports editor. He later wrote unpublished fiction and made his name after publishing an article in Harper's magazine about the Hell's Angels who he had rode with for a year. In 1970, he ran unsuccessfully for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, on the "Freak Power" ticket. His platform included changing the name of Aspen to "Fat City" and decriminalizing drugs. During his campaign, Thompson shaved his head and denounced his Republican rival who sported a crew cut as "my long-haired opponent." He lost by a handful of votes. He is the author of a dozen books, his latest was titled "Hey Rube: Blood Sport, The Bush Doctrine and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness." He once said "By any accepted standard, I have had more than nine lives.

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.

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.
