june2009 STATION SIGNALS 3

Dear Friend,

As more and more people get their information online – and as we’ve all become aware of the need to “go green” and help protect our environment – we’ve come to an important decision about Station Signals. Starting next month, the kind of comprehensive radio and television program information provided by Station Signals will be available on our website, WXXI.org. A change in the way we communicate with our members was inevitable, as the cost of paper, printing and postage escalated over the year. Pushing us along was the painful state funding cut we suffered in Albany this year. Protecting our mission (and, of course, the programming you expect and deserve) was our top priority. We had already cut travel, equipment purchases, benefits and staffing. At the same time, we’ve been investing in WXXI.org and email communication. Every progressive organization is taking advantage of new media to expand its reach in programming, services and communication; WXXI is no exception. This change will allow us to turn our attention to creating robust and engaging e-newsletters and other online services. Much of what you’ve expected each month from Station Signals will be there for you, including easily navigated schedules as well as highlights of upcoming events, programs and special member opportunities. Add to that expanded media from your favorite shows, and we are certain your online experience will make WXXI.org a destination in your daily life. But we will not abandon you in print entirely. In place of Station Signals we will be producing a listings guide that will provide you with a monthly schedule of our three digital television channels, as well as Classical 91.5, AM 1370 and WRUR-FM 88.5. In July, all members will receive this new printed piece. But after July, you will need to contact our membership department to confirm that you’d like to continue receiving the listings by mail, or electronically by email. To make your request, please call (585) 258-0200 or send an email to [email protected]. This is just one way that will enable us to conserve funds without sacrificing the integrity of our programs and services. We’ve taken other measures to cut costs as well, including reductions in production expenses, printing, events, travel, and benefits and staffing. Audits have been conducted to ensure that WXXI is on the best and most cost-effective energy plans. In fact, we were again recognized by Charity Navigator, the nation’s premier charity evaluator, with their highest rating, four stars. Only 19% of charities and nonprofits in the nation received a four-star rating for two years in a row. According to Charity Navigator, “WXXI Public Broadcasting Council consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America.” I was most pleased by these words in the letter, that WXXI’s ranking “demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.” We’re doing everything we can to keep WXXI strong. Your support is part of that, and we greatly appreciate it. Remember, after this month, my letters will still be available at WXXI.org. I trust that you will continue to read them. There will even be a place for your comments online. I look forward to the exchange, and I hope these changes will help make you even more connected as a member of WXXI.

Best regards,

Motown Records celebrates its 50th anniversary in June, and who better to kick off the festivities than the Motown Master himself, Stevie Wonder. Great Performances marks this monumental anniversary with a special telecast featuring the Grammy Award-winning artist in his ﬁ rst concert performance recorded for television. GREAT PERFORMANCES “Stevie Wonder: Live at Last,” premiering Wednesday, June 3 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV/HD, presents Wonder in all his glory – performing such chart-topping hits as “Isn’t She Lovely,” “My Cherie Amour,” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).” Introduced to the world at the age of 12 as “Little Stevie Wonder,” superstar Stevie Wonder may have dropped the “Little” since then, but certainly not his unique gift for a catchy melody, and his expert fusion of soul, funk, and R&B styles. Signed to Motown Records by Berry Gordy in 1963, “Little Stevie” rocketed to stardom, producing nine, number one records and amassing a staggering 22 Grammy Awards over the course of four decades. In October 2008, he returned to Europe — after more than a decade — to perform to a packed house at London’s O2 Arena. Wonder, who pulls out all the hits, keeps the crowd on its feet and doesn’t miss a beat during this tour-de-force concert performance.

www.liliandben.com PHONE 646.594.8646 DESIGN Lili Schwartz [email protected] liliandben ® StoryCorps IS COMING TO ROCHESTER! StoryCorps, the national initiative to document everyday history and the unique stories of Americans, rolls in to Rochester on July 2, 2009. One of the largest oral history projects of its kind, tens of thousands of everyday people have interviewed family and friends through StoryCorp since the launch in 2003. The StoryCorps MobileBooth, an Airstream trailer out- fi tted with a recording studio that travels across the country, will be parked in Rochester through the month in July (visit storycorps.org for location details). At the MobileBooth interviews are conducted between two people who know each other, with a trained facilitator guiding the participants through the interview process and handling the technical aspects of the recording. At the end of a 40-minute session, the participants walk away with a CD of their interview, and with their permission, a second copy becomes part of an archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for future generations to hear. Interviews are by appointment only. A fi rst round of interview slots will open for reservations on June 18 at 10 a.m., and a second round on July 3 at 10 a.m. Reservations are free and open to the public. Individuals can visit www.storycorps.org or call 800-850-4406 to make interview reservations, listen to stories, and learn how they can support StoryCorps’ mission to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening. StoryCorps is an independent nonprofi t project in partnership with NPR and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
