Consolidated Plan were part of the broader data collection efforts for the Assessment 2000 project. Data for both Assessment 2000 and the Consolidated Plan were collected by the Applied Social Research Unit, Illinois State University. The Assessment 2000 project was funded by the United Way of McLean County, City of Bloomington, Town of Normal and other agencies and organizations The project collected data to assess the health and human service needs in McLean County. The housing needs were a critical component of the data collection effort. The data collection effort consisted of five main areas of activity: · Survey of McLean County households, including residents of Bloomington and Normal; · Survey of social service providers (broadly defined) regarding their organization's client base, programs and services, and challenges; · Public and local data collection, including government reports as well as agency and organization reports collected for their own purposes; · Focus groups, including clients, service providers, and other important community organizations and constituencies; and · Key informant interviews with County and organizational leaders in Bloomington and Normal. A brief summary of each data collection method is presented below. The various data collection methods provided citizens with many different ways to provide input to the Consolidated Plan. Household Survey The eight-page household survey of adult representatives (18 years of age and over) of McLean County households was conducted by mail with telephone follow-up

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.
