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.

    GET MORE NEWS & UPDATES @ INSIDERADIO.COM >> FRANK SAXE [email protected] >> PAUL HEINE [email protected] (800) 275-2840 Friday, March 29, 2013 THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO Tech developer says new chips will power-up HD reception. One of the biggest beefs with HD Radio has been limited signal ranges. New technology that’s said to improve the chips used inside receivers could change that. By focusing on a fix at the receiver level, Digital PowerRadio (DPR) says broadcasters won’t foot the bill for improvements that could come more quickly as Americans buy new phones, cars and other electronic devices. DPR has spent the past 18 months developing the tweaks that would be made to the baseband receiver chip inside radio receivers. The tech company says it would significantly improve the performance and coverage of the digital signals radio stations already have on the air. “We don’t make any changes on the transmission side, which means broadcasters don’t have to spend any money — this is all on the receiver side,” says Mark Fowler, managing member of DPR, and former chairman of the FCC from 1981 to 1987. Using computer simulation modeling, DPR says its new chips will provide coverage gains of approximately 5 dB for FM signals in mobile phones and tabletop radios, and approximately 7 dB for auto receivers. Similar improvements are possible for AM stations. “The new chips would be much more sensitive than what is being used now, therefore we can take a weaker signal, receive it, and the effect is to increase the signal going into various radios,” Fowler says.
