STATE FEDERAL SUPPORT, TAX SUPPORT Identifiers-National Association Of Educational Broadcasters, *National Educational Television Thi F. information on financing educationaltelevisionstations comes from a structured quest:onnIee answered byallETV stationsinthe U.S and from a conference of national educational broadcast leaders. In terms of ownership. there are 31 community stations, 32 university stations, 13 state stations, and 19 school stations. They average between nine and ten broadcast hours daily. five days per week, and they emp!oy 2,445 persons on a full-time basis and 1,199 workers part-time Annual incomes of the stations range from $50,000 to $2,500,000, with theaverage being $368,000. More than half of a stafion's financing normally comes in the form of direct, budgeted support from a parent organization, anda little less than one quarter comes from donations Educational broadcasters at the conference believed their industry's financial problems could be Improved by (1) partial support from the federal government for community service programs (2) theuse of public funds for the endowment of stations, (3) greater support fornew agencies, exchange libraries. national programing sources, and different programing approaches and (4) the establishment of a national fund-raising organization,a national commission for intensive study of ETV, and a national citizens' advisory committee The conference also concluded that taxes, license fees, and pay-as-you-view systems are not feasible means of support.

W. Washington, D. C. 20036 Frederick Breitenfeld, Jr., ProjectDirector c) According to the Terms of Contract 0E-5-16-003with the United States Office of Education,through Title VII of the National Defense Education Act AUTHOR'S PREFACE One basic difference betweencommercial and educational television stations in this country iseasily identified. The FCC Rules and Regulations make it clear that ETVstations are restricted from operatingfor a profit, and they are prohibited fromselling time for advertising. To the educational broadcaster,however, this difference- this regu- lation - causes financial problemson a day-to-day basis. Those responsible for the operation of ETVstations across the country haveshown ingenuity in devising means by which theirstations can be kept solvent, butit is now clear that as educational televisionstatior3 become numerous, theycan serve the edu- cational needs of the communitiesreceiving their signals only if they havefirm financial support. This Study on the Long-RangeFinancing of Educational Tele- vision Stationswas conceived as a first step toward the developmentof a perma- nent and guaranteed financialpattern for ETV stations. The Financial Questionnaire,which was sent to all ETV stations,pro- vided information concerningpresent financing techniques. The Washington Conferencewas the other key part of the study, since it was through that meeting thatwe were able to define directions for future action. The United States Office ofEducation is one of the oldestsupporters of educationa: television.Members of the USOE staffwere part of the original effort to get the FCCto reserve eaannels for ETV stations;over the years the Office of Education hascontinuously assisted in the developmentand expansion of educational broadcasting; through Title VII of the NationalDefense Education Act alone, USOE has been ableto put more than eight million dollarsto work in research and dissemination ofinformation pertaining to broadcastingin educa- tion. Thus, it was reassuring lastspring to find great interest inour project on the part of personnel in the Office ofEducation. The Contract (OE-5-16-003),was signed on September 8, 1964, and the following pages comprise the finalreport of the seven-month study. While the investigation has beencarried on with the support of the Office of Education, the information,results, comments and conclusionsreached in this report are inno way connected with the federal government. The Educa- tional Television Stationsdivision of NAEB, and the ProjectStaff, assume responsibility for this document. A project of nationalscope must ultimately involvescores of people who assist in one way or another. We are deeply indebted to broadcastingper- sonnel - educational andcommercial- in this and other countries, for provid- ing information for the investigation. Our appreciation is also extendedto those people in the federalgovernment and in related educationagencies, for time and effort in making the studypossible. On behalf of all people connected with the future ofeducational television in the United States and especially for the Board of Directorsof the Educational Television Stations division of the National Associationof Educational Broadcasters, I thank those who contributed to this project. My personal appreciation is extended to Mr. C. Scott Fletcher, Executive Consultant, NAEB-ETS, whose leadership in educationalbroadcasting, whose professional commitment and whose wisdom have been sources of great satisfaction. This has been the first step, and it has been fruitful. Bigger and more important steps must be taken soon.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

  • Family Engagement Can Make a Difference for Texas Rising Star Centers
    Family Engagement Can Make a Difference for Texas Rising Star Centers Kierstan Schwab Melissa Galvan Texas PBS KLRN, San Antonio [email protected] [email protected] Kit Lively Benjamin Kramer KERA, Dallas/Fort Worth Austin PBS [email protected] [email protected] PART ONE: PBS KIDS can help TX Rising Star centers develop effective strategies to support family engagement. Family Engagement is critical to child success What the Research Says “Parent-child relationships and family well-being are both powerful predictors of children’s long-term development, learning, social experiences, health, and well-being” (Anda et al., 2006; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2016; National Research Council & Institute of Medicine, 2000) “When parents are engaged with their children’s learning, children are more likely to have better outcomes” (Van Voorhis, Maier, Epstein, & Lloyd, 2013) We take a child-centric approach and help build a bridge between home and school Texas PBS & PBS KIDS are rooted in Texas Communities PBS KIDS takes a transmedia approach where skills are built on each format PBS KIDS can build parent skills to continue learning at home We take learning seriously ● PBS KIDS programs are designed around learning outcomes ● Each program has educational advisors ● Research consistently validates the positive impact of PBS KIDS on-air programs, digital content and hands-on resources We take literacy seriously “Many educators and parents assume that television, computer games, and the Internet have intrinsically harmful effects on children’s literacy. But when educational media content is combined with sound science and research, as public media does, the opposite is true.
