( '21)41)2 &t a The Office of Research.andDevelopment of the Office of Policy, Evaluation and Research,Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Departmentof Labor, was authorized. first under the MAnpowerDevelopment and TrainingAct (MDTA) of 1962, and then underthe Comprehensive Employ- ment and Training Act (CETA) of1973, to conduct research, experimentation, and demonstrationto solve social and economic problems relativeto the employment and training of unemployed and underemployedworkers. Research also includes national longitudinalsurveys of age cohorts of the population at criticaltransition stages in working. life which examine thelabor market experience of these cohorts. Studies are conductedon labor market structures and operations, obstaclesto employment, mobility, how individuals do job searches,and various problems that pertain particularlyo disadvantaged persons. Experi- mental or demonstration projectsmay test a neW technique of intervention,a different,institutional arrangement for delivery, or innovativeways to combine resources. Analyses of the results of themost.significant of these studies, descriptions ofprocess, handbooxs of procedures, or other products designed specificallyfor planners, administrators, and operators inthe CETA system are issued as- monographs ina continuing series. Information concerning all projects inprocess or completed during the previous 3 years is containedin an annual catalog of activities, Research andDevelopment Projects.

Washincton, D. C. 20213 FOREWCMD This monograph is an account of the organizational structure, management, and operation of the Work Incentive (WIN) Program from the Federal to the local level.. The study vas undertaken at the request of the Office of Work Incentive Programsa program designed to help welfare recipients okstain erployment. WIN is administered jointly by the Deoartment of Labor and the Departrent of Health, Education, and Welfare at ea,:h governmental level. The program faces significant management questions which evolve from the need to unite two agencies in the provision oftwo types of servicessocial services'and empldyment services. The study looks inside the "black box" of pregram implementation and service delivery at those factors which characterize top performing WIN programs. It answers the traditional management question: Why do some programs outperform others, even after their labor market and client environments are taken into account?Pfter systematically identifying and controlling for those environmental factors which affect program performance, the researchers ranked State and local WIN programs on four standardized WIN perforrance reasures. A sample of high and low performers were selected for more indepth research on management issues, such as goal awareness, type and extent of staff training, reporting accuracy, monitoring frequency and type, and styles of lateral and horizontal communication.This comparisonbf high and low performers indicated that systeratic,differences existed which explained why some programs were high performers and:others loW perforrers. lIbe study concludes by recommending ccncrete steps which Federal, State, and local WIN programs could undertake to improve their performance. 1 In addition to clearly addressin4 the needs of WIN program operators at all levels of the system, the study should be of interest to a wide range of human resource program planners, managers, trainers, and evaluators. It contains invaluable lessons for the welfare reformer seeking to combine the delivery 6f both social services and employment and training opportunities. Lastly, the organizational theorist will find that the monograph provides a unique case study of the strategies required for managing a system which must unite the services of two agencies. HOWARD RCSEN Director Office of Research iii ACKNOWLEDGMENT This study benefited fromthe advice and assistance ofMany indi- viduals. Diane L. Ferry of theUniversity of Delaware andLawrence M. Mead of New York' University were integral members of our researchteam in the early stages. Harold Guthrie of The UrbanInstitute and Charles C. Holt of the University of Texas reviewed and contributedto our methodology for quantifying WIN performance indicators and examining theimpact of socio- economic environment on state and local WINprograms. Similarly, our con- versations with Andrew H. Van de Ven of the WhartonSchool and David Roberts, a west coast organizational consultant, stimulatedour thinking about which organizational characteristics to study and how to investigatethem. Timothy.Y. Ling of JWK International, Inc. contributedto our design for a longitudinal analysis of environmental and organizationaldeterminants of program performance.

    2017 Annual Report 2017 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Every now and then I am introduced to someone who knows, kind of, who I am and what I do and they instinctively ask, ‘‘How are things at Saga?’’ (they pronounce it ‘‘say-gah’’). I am polite and correct their pronunciation (‘‘sah-gah’’) as I am proud of the word and its history. This is usually followed by, ‘‘What is a ‘‘sah-gah?’’ My response is that there are several definitions — a common one from 1857 deems a ‘‘Saga’’ as ‘‘a long, convoluted story.’’ The second one that we prefer is ‘‘an ongoing adventure.’’ That’s what we are. Next they ask, ‘‘What do you do there?’’ (pause, pause). I, too, pause, as by saying my title doesn’t really tell what I do or what Saga does. In essence, I tell them that I am in charge of the wellness of the Company and overseer and polisher of the multiple brands of radio stations that we have. Then comes the question, ‘‘Radio stations are brands?’’ ‘‘Yes,’’ I respond. ‘‘A consistent allusion can become a brand. Each and every one of our radio stations has a created personality that requires ongoing care. That is one of the things that differentiates us from other radio companies.’’ We really care about the identity, ambiance, and mission of each and every station that belongs to Saga. We have radio stations that have been on the air for close to 100 years and we have radio stations that have been created just months ago.

  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Well…. here we go. This letter is supposed to be my turn to tell you about Saga, but this year is a little different because it involves other people telling you about Saga. The following is a letter sent to the staff at WNOR FM 99 in Norfolk, Virginia. Directly or indirectly, I have been a part of this station for 35+ years. Let me continue this train of thought for a moment or two longer. Saga, through its stockholders, owns WHMP AM and WRSI FM in Northampton, Massachusetts. Let me share an experience that recently occurred there. Our General Manager, Dave Musante, learned about a local grocery/deli called Serio’s that has operated in Northampton for over 70 years. The 3rd generation matriarch had passed over a year ago and her son and daughter were having some difficulties with the store. Dave’s staff came up with the idea of a ‘‘cash mob’’ and went on the air asking people in the community to go to Serio’s from 3 to 5PM on Wednesday and ‘‘buy something.’’ That’s it. Zero dollars to our station. It wasn’t for our benefit. Community outpouring was ‘‘just overwhelming and inspiring’’ and the owner was emotionally overwhelmed by the community outreach. As Dave Musante said in his letter to me, ‘‘It was the right thing to do.’’ Even the local newspaper (and local newspapers never recognize radio) made the story front page above the fold. Permit me to do one or two more examples and then we will get down to business.

  • March 1, 2017 Dear Sens. Warren and Markey, and Reps. Neal
    March 1, 2017 Dear Sens. Warren and Markey, and Reps. Neal, McGovern, Tsongas, Kennedy, Clark, Moulton, Capuano, Lynch, and Keating: As local television and radio broadcast stations across Massachusetts, we write in support of the ongoing congressional effort to reform the nation’s tax code. In particular, we appreciate and support the current House Blueprint’s preservation of tax deductibility of advertising as part of its thoughtful effort to stimulate economic growth. As Congress considers the House Blueprint and other tax reform proposals, we urge you to recognize that any modification to the current tax treatment of advertising poses significant economic harm to our local advertising partners and, by extension, our investment in local news, weather, sports, civic information, and service in the local communities you represent. For over a century, Congress has treated advertising as a fully deductible cost of doing business because, just like salaries, rent, utilities, and office supplies, it is an ordinary and necessary business expense. As you consider potential reforms to our nation’s tax system, we support your efforts to simplify the code, strengthen the economy, and make America more competitive. Importantly though, any limitations to the full, first-year deductibility of advertising will only have the opposite effects of making the tax code more complicated, slowing an engine of economic growth and job creation, and undermining the U.S. advertising and broadcasting economy that is the envy of the world. Advertising accounts for more than $172 billion of economic activity, and more than 634,000 Massachusetts jobs. Moreover, for every dollar spent on advertising, an additional $19 of economic activity is generated.
