FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, July 15, 2019 WNED ǀ WBFO Media Contact: Heather Hare Director, Corporate Communications (716) 845.7155 • [email protected] WNED | WBFO Prepares for Future with Staff Changes WNED | WBFO is making changes to staffing to create an even stronger future for public broadcasting in Buffalo and Toronto. Several positions within the non-profit company have been upgraded or modified and a Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer position has been created to address specific fundraising efforts. “We are strategically positioning WNED | WBFO for the next five years to take advantage of fundraising, programming, and production opportunities at the local and national levels,” said Donald K. Boswell, President and Chief Executive Officer of WNED | WBFO. “Making these changes will help us with plans for new series, such as Reading Rainbow and a Blues performance production, while also increasing our binational news coverage.” Staffing changes include: Sylvia Bennett, who returns to WNED | WBFO after a stint at University of California, Berkeley, will become the Senior Vice President & Chief Development Officer for WNED | WBFO on Aug. 12. Michael Holley, who joined WNED | WBFO a little more than a year ago, will become the Vice President of Corporate Support in the wake of the retirement of Gordon Bayliss, who was Vice President of Sales & Marketing, effective August 12th. Bree Bové, who began her career at WNED | WBFO in 2000 as the auction operations coordinator and has grown into many roles within Development, will become the Vice President of Membership, effective August 12th. Kathryn Larsen, who joined WNED | WBFO in January 2016 as Director of TV & Radio Programming and shortly after took over programming for the company’s Classical station in addition to its NPR and PBS stations, will become the Vice President of Broadcast Services, effective August 12th. “We’re excited about our future and how our whole team at WNED | WBFO will help us tackle the challenges of a new media landscape that is more fractured by streaming and time-shifted viewing and listening [consumption] but that also opens up whole new opportunities for public broadcasting in Western New York and Southern Ontario,” Boswell said. “We will continue to enlighten, inspire, and entertain our audiences with trusted and educational programming -- wherever they listen or watch.” # # # About WNED | WBFO The WNED | WBFO family of stations broadcasts PBS, NPR and Classical music programming throughout the Western New York and Southern Ontario regions.

Community Challenged to Support Education Gifts to WNED | WBFO March 5 Matched to the Teacher’S Desk by Five Star
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb. 26, 2019 WNED ǀ WBFO Media Contact: Heather Hare Dir., Corporate Communications (716) 845.7155 • [email protected] Community Challenged to Support Education Gifts to WNED | WBFO March 5 Matched to The Teacher’s Desk by Five Star On Tuesday, March 5, donations to WNED | WBFO will make double the impact on our community, thanks to WNED | WBFO’s Community Challenge, sponsored by Five Star Bank, benefitting The Teacher’s Desk. Five Star Bank will match each donation to WNED | WBFO with an equal gift to The Teacher’s Desk, a store where educators receive free books, school supplies, and many other teacher resources for the students in their classrooms. WNED | WBFO and Five Star Bank have teamed up in this Community Challenge to inspire Western New York and Southern Ontario to make a difference for their public broadcasting stations while also helping teachers provide much-needed educational resources to their students. The Teacher’s Desk was founded by John Mika, a retired autoworker who was working as a substitute teacher in urban and suburban Catholic schools. He saw a stark difference in classroom supplies between city and suburban schools and decided that every child deserved the same access to supplies, regardless of where they attended school. Since October 2011, the organization and its volunteer team has distributed more than $10 million of supplies to teachers at schools throughout Western New York. “We are excited to partner with two great educational resources in our community – WNED | WBFO and The Teacher’s Desk,” said Martin K. Birmingham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Five Star Bank.

Listening Patterns – 2 About the Study Creating the Format Groups

Clifford December 2005 STATION RESOURCE GROUP 6935 Laurel Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912 301.270.2617 www.srg.org TThhee PPuubblliicc RRaaddiioo FFoorrmmaatt SSttuuddyy:: LLiisstteenniinngg PPaatttteerrnnss Each week the 393 public radio organizations supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting reach some 27 million listeners. 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.

CONTENT, COMMUNITY, AND COLLABORATION: ADVANCING CHILDREN'S LEARNING THROUGH PERSONALIZED MEDIA EXPERIENCES A READY TO LEARN TELEVISION GRANT PROPOSAL FROM THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING AND THE PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICE I. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) seek a Ready To Learn Television grant (RTL) to create a groundbreaking and comprehensive media initiative that will help to close the achievement gap for young learners from low-income households and contribute meaningful practice and research to the early learning field. Forming powerful collaborations within and across organizations devoted to early learning, media, and community engagement, the Project Team will address both invitational priorities from the Department of Education, producing and delivering comprehensive multi-platform educational media experiences to improve school readiness by focusing on science and literacy learning among low-income children ages 2-8, and combining media assets into dynamic new learning adventures that use embedded analytics and assessments to personalize the learning experience for users and provide meaningful information to parents, caregivers and educators. The Project emphasizes the importance of content, community, and collaboration: the power of adaptive learning experiences, the amplifying effects of family engagement, and the critical role of partnerships to move the needle for children from America’s lowest income communities.
