  • Report to the Community Fy15
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY F Y15 INSPIRING A SMARTER WORLD Dear Friends, FY 2015 was a year of challenges and great opportunities, and a turning point in KCTS 9’s 60-year history. I am happy to share that the year has been a success. Your support has allowed us to meet our goal of providing meaningful content that is relevant to our community—on air, online and in person. The media landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, with fundamental changes in the way audiences choose and view content. Today, more than one in three visitors to KCTS9.org use a tablet or mobile device to connect with us. Five years ago, that figure was less than 5 percent. With new tools and technologies, the public has become actively involved in the creation, selection and distribution of content. We live in a world where time-shifted viewing, streaming video, tablets and smartphones have profoundly changed how audiences consume and share content. How does a public media organization stand out when, with today’s technology, everyone is a media company? We met this challenge by launching an initiative to produce innovative digital offerings that broaden the content we provide and the platforms on which we provide it. While staying true to our mission to inspire a smarter world, we shifted to a digital-first strategy. We are committed to creating, commissioning and curating local content with a continued adherence to the public-media beliefs that have defined KCTS 9 for 60 years. In FY 2015, we brought you live public dialogues including political debates and election coverage; a current affairs series that explores in depth stories from across the Northwest; local specials on environmental issues; community events that celebrate our diverse cultures; and educational programming that is free and accessible to all.

We went out one night together to a hotel behind Rittenhouse Square. His date was a wised-up girl from Phila- delphia society who dreamed of becoming a stripper; mine was a retreating waitress, with a hyena body that gave off a whiff of the inquisi- tive. After the drinks – Don drank seltzer – we took them to a room we’d booked upstairs. My date gashed my face with her high-heel after I tried to shuffle her into one of the bedrooms. There was panting from Don’s quarters, the sound of a teetering vase, then mechanical chanting, until a final flesh-on-flesh “Whaa- aap!” A volley of sweet-talk followed. “If you want to be a dancer, there’s nobody who’s going New York City, 1968 to stop you, not even your father,” Don whis- pered. “I know some of the best dancers in this in a Trump Air commercial, which left him of Walt Whitman and Leon Trotsky, your the haste to give pleasure.

  • Summary of Fiscal Years 2009–2012
    SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP Jim McCluney Chairman Jim McCluney has served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Emulex Corporation and Vixel Corporation, and has held senior executive positions with worldwide responsibilities at both Apple Corporation and Digital Equipment Corporation. Most recently, Mr. McCluney was instrumental in developing Emulex’s strategy for growth and executing four strategic acquisitions: Endace, ServerEngines, Aarohi Communications and Sierra Logic, positioning Emulex for entry into new high-growth market segments. His visionary growth strategies and global market knowledge have cemented him as an asset to the PBS SoCaL Board of Trustees, holding the position of Board Chair. “PBS SoCaL is California’s largest classroom, the 2nd largest broadcast market in the US, the largest stage for the arts and our most trusted source of information. These are just a few examples of why I chose to serve on the Board of PBS SoCaL. I see an expansive and developing future for PBS SoCaL.” Mel Rogers President & CEO As a former radio and television reporter and program host, Mr. Rogers is passionate about TV and radio aimed at creating an informed citizenry. He became the president of KOCE-TV in 1997, at which point he aggressively expanded efforts to make the station an indispensable part of the Orange County fabric. After 17 years under Rogers’ leadership, PBS SoCaL is now one of the top 3 most watched PBS stations among the nation’s 350 PBS stations. His public television influence extends beyond Southern California—he completed six years as a member of the national PBS Board of Directors and three years as Chair of the California Public Television Association and is former Chair of the Utah Broadcasters Association.
