Listening Patterns – 2 About the Study Creating the Format Groups

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. -

The Alaska Survey
THE ALASKA SURVEY 4TH QUARTER 2016 Hello, my name is _________ and I'm calling for Alaska Survey Research, an Alaska public opinion research firm. We are conducting a public opinion survey today called the Alaska Survey. The survey concerns a variety of different topics that you’ll probably find interesting. IF CELLPHONE RESPONDENT… We’d like to get your input to the survey as a cellphone respondent. We’ve deliberately called you on the weekend so that hopefully we’re not using up your minutes, and we’d like to ask if you can safely respond to the survey where you are right now. IF LANDLINE RESPONDENT… Is this a residential telephone? IF "YES", CONTINUE... If they are available, I’d like to speak with the youngest male aged 18 or older in your household. (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE…) How about the youngest female aged 18 or older? (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE, CONTINUE WITH RESPONDENT.) All phone numbers used for this survey were randomly generated. We don’t know your name, but your opinions are important to us, and we'd appreciate your participation if that's OK with you. Of course, your responses will be completely confidential. S1.

APBC FY17 Budget Cut Work Session Discussion Paper April 12, 2016
APBC FY17 Budget Cut Work Session Discussion Paper April 12, 2016 Overview Purpose of the Alaska Public Broadcasting Commission (Alaska Statute 44.21.264): The commission is created to encourage and supervise the development of an integrated public broadcasting system for the state and for the coordination of all public broadcasting stations. The primary purpose of the commission is the encouragement and support of noncommercial public broadcasting in the state through the provision of operating and capital grants in support of the delivery of noncommercial programs intended for a general audience by locally controlled nonprofit broadcast stations or telecommunications entities. On March 11, 2016 the twenty-six radio station grantees learned that a 27% reduction in State of Alaska (SOA) funding will likely be the best possible outcome in FY17. For the TV and APBC grants the best possible outcomes are losses around 5%. The Conference Committee is expected to take action on final FY17 funding levels for public broadcasting in the days ahead. If the legislature chooses the House levels, then the Commission will be investing $2.68M in public broadcasting in FY17. This represents the lowest level since before 1986 and another reduction is in the forecast for FY18. There is intense pressure on all stations to deal with these losses in revenue. Of even greater concern, the two year decline in SOA revenue puts several stations at risk of losing eligibility to receive federal operating grants through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). For the Commission, the central question is how to proceed with allocating remaining funds: stay the course using the formula or consider a different approach? Given these system challenges and the proximity to the start of the fiscal year, the APBC will benefit from having additional discussions regarding how to proceed with operating grant allocations in FY17. -
The Coastalaska Collaboration
THE COASTALASKA COLLABORATION ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN RESPONSE TO REDUCTION OF TAX SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING IN ALASKA Local That Works: Public Radio Case Study No. 1 By Richard Tait and Mark Fuerst October 2016 LOCAL THAT WORKS The premise of these four case studies, prepared for the Eastern Region Public Media PUBLIC RADIO SUPER-REGIONAL CONFERENCE (Oct. 25–27, 2016): stations need and want to be “more local." The evidence we have collected suggests they will succeed in doing so by filling gaps in local news coverage and playing a larger role in the daily life of their communities. It is safe to assume that all stations would do more of this—except for the fact that "being local" takes a good deal of money and staff. In an era of declining tax support, rural and small-market stations are getting squeezed. Through no fault of their own, their long-term prospects are being eroded by a combination of forces, including the inherent financial limits of a small local audience and small local economies; increasing ease of access to national program material; and increasing costs associated with multiplatform service. This is not a new problem. The "large/small" divide has permeated system politics. Meanwhile, the growing "capacity gap" between smaller and larger stations—in membership, staffing and digital tools—has been well documented by the PUBLIC MEDIA FUTURES FORUM. If public broadcasting is to retain its NEAR-UNIVERSAL REACH, the system will have to develop ways to sustain the service of small-market, especially rural, stations, and find ways to empower them to be both sustainable and more local. -
