All Things Considered Turns 40 - The Wisconsin HELPFUL LINKS: Connection This month, NPR's Donate Now All Things Considered Listen Now celebrated its 40th anniversary. For WPR Stations & many listeners, the Schedules show and its hosts are a companion Ideas Network Program while they Notes commute home, take their kids to Classical Music Playlists soccer practice or prepare an evening WPR Audio Archives meal. And, while a lot about the WPR News Stories program has changed over the years, one thing that has remained consistent is the Our Home Page - iconic theme song. But the song, which was composed by long-time WPR.org Wisconsin Public Radio music director Don Voegeli, has some history. Jack Mitchell, former director of Wisconsin Public Radio, was one of FIND US ON: the first employees of NPR and the first producer of All Things Considered. According to Mitchell, the early show was rather rough around the edges. "[In 1971] the programming department was run as something of a commune, with no one in charge and everyone doing pretty much whatever interested them," he said. "I tried to give the program some structure and the staff specific assignments. I decided we needed co-hosts and installed Susan Stamberg and ultimately Bob Edwards in those roles," Mitchell added. And what about that theme song? Tom Voegeli, Don Voegeli's son, recently recalled growing up in Madison and his father's work at Wisconsin Public Radio. "[Dad] was Music Director for many years, which had him, in addition to programming music, playing music for Wisconsin School of the Air productions, and live 'fill' music on piano and on the studio pipe organ at old Radio Hall," he said. Or visit WPR's Community Page Mitchell continues the story, "WPR was the largest and most professional public radio organization in the country before NPR. [CPB] provided grant money for a National Center for Audio Experimentation, the salary for Don Voegeli and a synthesizer and multitrack recorder housed in what is now the director of radio's office in the sparkling new Vilas Hall. Don was to compose original music that public radio stations [around the country] could use without worrying about rights and royalties. On his own initiative, Don composed a theme and variations for All Things Considered, with little idea of what the program would be - which was not surprising since those of us in Washington had little idea of what it would be either." he said. The iconic melody that we recognize today was initially used as the closing theme for the program. As the show began to find its legs, the closing theme became the main theme and has stayed there ever since. Not long after the fifth anniversary of the show, Mitchell moved to Madison and became WPR's director of radio. "For the fifth anniversary, the promotion department put on a nice little reception," he recalled. "At the end, the Voegeli closing theme played full up in the reception room and I and my wife teared up. It all seemed worth the struggle. I still feel that way when I hear it today," he concluded. Tom Voegeli writes and produces for the public broadcasting series From the Top in Boston. And, he noted, his father wrote more than jingles. "He was an outstanding jazz pianist and wrote some wonderful jazz ballads. He wrote some wonderful serious music, too, but little of it remains. I have a copy of an amazing setting he did of the Prayer of St. Francis," he concluded. You can hear historic variations on the the All Things Considered theme by visiting WFMU's (New Jersey) blog here.

Unfortunately, due to signal interference, not everyone in the Chequamegon Bay region has been part of the conversation. Fortunately, the Federal Communications Commission recently granted Wisconsin Public Radio permission to construct a new, full- powered, FM radio station in Ashland. The new signal will extend broadcast coverage of the Ideas Network to the entire Chequamegon Bay area. Last year, a federal matching grant was secured for $255,000 - 75% of the cost of the project. It requires a local match of $85,000 which must be secured by the end of 2011. Construction of WUWS 90.9 FM in Ashland will ensure a strong signal for the Ideas Network with its special mix of cultural enrichment, conversation, news, and information.

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.

Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations.
