Northern Public Radio WNIJ – WNIU – NIRIS Fisca l Y e ar 2 012 An n ua l R epo r t N or ther n Pub lic R ad io WNIJ – WNIU – NIRIS From The Director & General Manager Over the past year the Northern Public Radio stations made great strides in our pursuit to enrich, inspire, and inform the communities we serve. You will see many of those highlights recapped throughout the pages of this annual report. From adding new programs and specials to carrying robust election season coverage through a strong partnership with National Public Radio, this is all designed to keep our listeners’ curiosity satisfied. In addition to providing essential news, intelligent talk, and endless hours of entertainment, we are also committed to being careful stewards of your financial investment in public radio. As a fiscally responsible organization, we take this annual opportunity to provide an overview of the stations’ finances. While much continues to be made of federal funding for public broadcasting, local philanthropy tells a larger story. Listeners continue to generously support the services of WNIJ and WNIU. In fact, last year our Sustainer program reached an impressive benchmark. More than 1,500 listeners are fulfilling their membership via monthly contributions! These funds allow for broadcast service enhancements (check out our web pages!), shorter membership campaigns, and a reduction in administrative costs. I hope you will also note the support given through the local business community. These partners range from southern Wisconsin and LaSalle County all the way to Dixon, Rockford, DeKalb and beyond. While the funding model for our stations is a complex structure, you will see that the largest source of revenue comes directly from the communities we reach… making WNIJ and WNIU truly listener-supported public radio. Thanks so much for your continued listening and support as we move forward into another year of terrific radio.

    DIVERSE EQUITABLE INCLUSIVE K-12 Public Schools A New Call for Philanthropic Support the Sillerman Center FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PHILANTHROPY Acknowledgements This report was written by Dr. Susan Eaton and Dr. Suchi Saxena. This report grows out of a long-running project of the Sillerman Center that engages grantmakers who want to better understand the causes, myriad harms and potential cures for racial and socioeconomic segregation in our nation's K-12 public schools. This report was informed by interviews with a wide variety of educators and other practitioners working towards diverse, equitable and inclusive schools, by numerous convenings and conferences, by research and by the authors' experience in this field. We wish to thank our project collabora- tors and sponsors, The Ford Foundation and the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust. We deeply appreciate all the people who reviewed this report for us, who participated in interviews and who attended meetings that we hosted in 2017. Special thanks to Sheryl Seller, Stacey King, Amber Abernathy and Victoria St. Jean at the Sillerman Center, to Mary Pettigrew, who designed this report and our beloved proofreader, Kelly Garvin. We especially appreciate the thorough reviews from Gina Chirichigno, Itai Dinour, Sanjiv Rao and Melissa Johnson Hewitt, whose suggestions greatly improved this report. Susan E.

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.

HISTORICAL SKETCH Northern Illinois University began airing radio programs in 1947. At that time, the University had no broadcasting facilities, but used those at WLBK, the DeKalb radio station. Seven years later, in December 1952, Swen Parson Library opened with a room set aside for a broadcasting booth. A radio club had been formed two years earlier and equipment was eventually purchased to set up a radio station. In 1954 the University began to broadcast from the campus under the call letters WNIC-FM.
