VIRTUAL VOLUNTEERING What does “Virtual Volunteering” mean? It means volunteering from your home (or other) with your computer on your time from anywhere in the state.

(However, if you would like to volunteer and come into the station, that is certainly possible.) In this next year, we look forward to developing these opportunities further. 1. The Great American Read CARPE LIBER! Leading the way on “Virtual Volunteering” --- volunteer anytime from anyplace! RMPBS will test-drive a “virtual volunteering” experiment by developing a simple social media toolkit for volunteers to promote the next incredible nationwide PBS initiative: The Great American Read. Volunteers will use their community, business and personal connections to promote this initiative. And, this initiative is all about reading and books and conversation. Volunteers and their social networks should join in the fun playing bingo and voting for their favorite book by going to www.rmpbs.org/greatamericanread . The list of the 100 books is located on this website. This list makes for some great reading and conversations with friends and members of book groups. In the Fall, the Great American Read series will run on RMPBS air (see schedule below) where individuals will talk about the books that have impacted their lives and, additionally, the winning book will be announced. Let your friends and neighbors know! Viewing Schedule (Mark your calendar!) “Fall Kick Off” Join host Meredith Vieira in the search for America’s best-loved novel. The voting is underway, and the competition is heating up – any book could win. Tuesday, September 11 at 7pm “Who Am I?” Explore the ways that America’s best-loved novels answer the age-old question, “Who am I?” From life lessons to spiritual journeys, these books help us understand our own identities and find our place in the world. Tuesday, September 18 at 7pm “Heroes” Follow the trials and tribulations of some of literature’s favorite heroes. From Katniss Everdeen to Don Quixote, examine how the everyday hero and the anti-hero find their inner strength, overcome challenges and rise to the occasion. Tuesday, September 25 at 7pm “Villains and Monsters” Learn why literature’s most notorious villains began behaving badly. Many weren’t born evil, but became that way when faced with some of the same choices we make every day. See what these villains can teach us about our own dark impulses. Tuesday, October 2 at 7pm “What We Do For Love” Fall in love with some of literature’s most beautiful romances and explore the many forms of love, from family to passion to the unrequited type. Learn how America’s best-loved novels reflect the things we do for love. Tuesday, October 9 at 7pm “Other Worlds” Take a magical journey to another world through some of America’s best-loved novels. From Middle Earth to Lilliput, the trials and tribulations of these alternate universes help us to better understand our own world. Tuesday, October 16 at 7pm “Grand Finale” America’s best-loved novel is revealed. Tuesday, October 23 at 7pm Virtual Toolkit: Information about the book list, the quiz and selection information can be found on www.rmpbs.org/greatamericanread. Share stories with Susan Barber [email protected] Here’s what volunteers can do: 1. Spread the word about the Great American Read (GAR) list of books with your friends, family and colleagues via social networks, email, word of mouth. Link your friends to RMPBS Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and share the webpage www.rmpbs.org/greatamericanread and let Susan Barber know what you are doing. 2. Have fun with your network taking the GAR quiz and GAR Bingo (win a Kindle) www.rmpbs.org/greatamericanread and competing with friends and colleagues (and business associates) to see who has read the most number of books on the list. 3. Set up a competition between employees of your organization/business with another organization/business (or with other book groups) to see who can first reach the goal of reading all 100 books by September.

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.

  • 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

Brimer (Vice Chair) Absent Erica Garcia Percy Lyle KUVO staff Steve Chavis Call to Order: Meeting called to order at 8:00am Motion to Approve Minutes: The minutes of the May 19 meeting were approved. Action and Discussion: Phil opened the discussion by asking our thoughts on the comments made at our last board meeting by David Leonard who is a member of RMPBS. When Dave was asked if the Board of RMPBS would provide KUVO/KVJZ a definition of what is our community he responded the Community Advisory Board of KUVO/KVJZ first prepare a model definition. Wayne, Chairman of the Outreach Committee presented a draft of what our community is. A spirited discussion about the community followed. Members feel that it is a good start in the process and the CAB should start a discussion with Steve and through him our thoughts and ideas will be brought to the staff of KUVO/KVJZ. We also need to be prepared to inform the Board of RMPBS why the KUVO/KVJZ CAB exists and to educate them as to what we do. The preparation of an annual report of the CAB to the RMPBS Board and staff was discussed. We believe that an annual report will allow us to make our progress and our thoughts known to the decision makers.
