Opening Message Dear Members, Sponsors, Contributors & Friends, Alaska Public Media closed the year 2012 on a note of optimism and hope — because there is much to be excited about. Our programming remains beloved in the communities we serve. Our finances are stable. Our staff is talented and dedicated. Our digital platforms extend our services and are achieving greater and greater impact. Our shared television service in partnership with KTOO-Juneau and KYUK-Bethel is growing and improving. KSKA FM-91.1 is the most listened-to radio station in Anchorage. The Alaska Public Radio Network — a partnership of 26 stations throughout Alaska — together Mike Martin serves some 96 percent of Alaskans. And we are hard at work on a President of the Board of Directors marketing campaign to sally forth under our new, all-inclusive name, Alaska Public Media. Through it all, we strive to sustain and strengthen our commitments to authenticity, excellence, connection and trust. In focus groups and phone calls and notes scrawled on pledge forms and just everyday conversations with members, these are the values Alaskans say we hold for them. We know that hewing to these commitments strengthens the bonds with our audiences, members, underwriters and volunteers. Please test those things for yourself — not only with what you read in this report, but also in what you hear, view and read in our work every day. We believe this report outlines a strong and improving array of programs and services, but we know there is room for improvement. Your ideas on how we can accomplish that will fortify and inspire us for the challenges ahead. Thank you for the opportunity to serve Alaskans, Steve Lindbeck and for the privilege of bringing public broadcasting — in all its many CEO & General Manager faces — to our communities. It is good and rewarding work. alaskapublic.org 2 The Alfred Hanisch Legacy Society The Alfred Hanisch Legacy Society recognizes visionary Alaskans who have thoughtfully provided for Alaska Public Media’s long-term financial stability by making a planned gift.

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.

  • Satellite Interconnection and Distance Delivery in Alaska: Toward the 21St Century
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 383 230 IR 017 105 TITLE Satellite Interconnection and Distance Delivery in Alaska: Toward the 21st Century. Summary and Recommendations of the Satellite Interconnection Project under the Direction of the Telecommunications Information Council. INSTITUTION Alaska Public Broadcasting Commission, Juneau. PUB DATE 95 NOTE 185p. PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Communications Satellites; Computer Mediated Communication; Distance Education; *Information Networks; Information Technology; *Telecommunications IDENTIFIERS Alaska; Communications Infrastructure; *Information Infrastructure ABSTRACT The Satellite Interconnection Project was created for the purpose of investigating the interest and need for improved interconnection, faster and of greater capacity than the capability of present systems, especially among Alaska state-supported users of video and audio transmissions. The intent was to explore the cost-benefit and the potential improvement in the quality and range of services supported by the state. It was anticipated that through the use of advanced telecommunications, the state would realize significant savings, improved productivity, and more meaningful levels of service for Alaskans in K-12 education, University of Alaska courses, state agency training, public broadcasting, and other applications. The Satellite Interconnection Project would consolidate state-supported distance delivery and put in place the first phase of such an integrated system by the summer of 1995, bringing together private, public, state, and federal planning and investment. This collection of reports summarizes the research, studies, consulting, multitude of site visits and face-to-face meetings, and recommendations to and endorsement of the Telecommunications Information Council for further planning and implementation. A summary of the Satellite Interconnection Project to date is given.
