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.

    Sheigra Dxpedition Report

    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon. Once again we made Murdo’s traditional crofter’s cottage our DX base. From here our long wire Beverage aerials can radiate out across the hillsides towards the sea and the Americas to the west and north west, and eastwards towards Asia, parallel to the old, and now very rough, peat track which continues on north east into the open moors after the tarmac road ends at Sheigra. right: Dave earths the Caribbean Beverage. We were fortunate to experience good MW conditions throughout our fortnight’s stay, thanks to very low solar activity. And on the last couple of days we were treated to some superb conditions with AM signals from the

    2009-2010 WCNY COMMUNITY REPORT 1 a Message from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees

    WWW.WCNY.ORG . 2009-2010 WCNY COMMUNITY REPORT 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES To the friends and supporters of WCNY: I am proud to serve as the Chairman of the Board for this unique – and very successful – PBS station. As a native of the Syra- cuse area, I’m particularly proud of WCNY and the many ways it serves our community. When I began my term as chairman in April of 2010, I was excited about the tremendous opportunities to educate, entertain, and inspire. Furthermore, I commit- ted myself as chairman to push our organization to continue to serve the public in a manner that reaches beyond everyone’s expectations. For the record, we have done far more over the past year than just to sustain our programs; instead we have dared to grow by adding a Public Affairs bureau in Albany, which covers New York State politics and reports back not just to Central New York audiences, but to media markets across the state; to produce a new entertainment series and three new regional specials that enlighten audiences of every age with public affairs, school study, and the psychology of military service; and to increase time spent with the community at a number of our special events. As we look ahead, our opportunities continue with the building of a new Broadcast and Education Center on the Near West Side that will provide Central New York with state of the art experiential learning opportuni- ties, public media labs, and cost saving operation measures that will position WCNY as a leader of public media and community impact.

    THE RADIO BOOK ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 Edition The Radio Book ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 - First Edition The research for this book was undertaken by ReThink Media staff, fellows, and interns between 2013 and 2015. Although we made every effort to speak directly with a producer of each show we list, we were not always successful. The “Features” tags included with many entries are complete to the best of our abilities—but some shows lack them when we could not be sure of a feature. Similarly, pitching intel is available for shows with which we were able to make contact. We would like to acknowledge Alyssa Goard, Katherine O’Brien, Daniel Steiner, and Lisa Bergstrom, who each had a big hand in bringing this project to completion.

    STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY A FOCUS ON PUBLIC RADIO DECEMBER 2014 STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY Q4 Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company 1 THE ECLECTIC AUDIO LANDSCAPE In today’s fragmented media world, where consumers have more choices and more access to content than ever before, audio remains strong. 91.3% of all Americans (age 12+) are using radio during the week. Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small. Public Radio is a unique and relevant part of the lives of 32 million Americans and exists in large part due to the financial support of the listeners we examine in the following pages.
