Breaking News Updates

Each of KMSP and WFTC broke into and/or preempted regularly-scheduled programming numerous times during the period covered by this report in order to bring

its viewers breaking news or disaster information. KMSP's coverage included extended reporting on severe weather, such as tornado watchs and thunderstorm warnings, as well as developing local stories. For example, the station interrupted regular programming to cover shootings at a local school and at a government center. Similarly, WFTC provided its viewers with numerous severe weather warnings. Both stations also participate in the amber alert program in an effort to help find missing children.

Public Affairs Programming

KMSP has partnered with a University of Minnesota journalism professor who received a grant to increase television coverage of health care issues in the state. The station has taken a three-pronged approach: investigative pieces, daily news coverage and ½ hour specials that air quarterly. Some of the recent topics covered have included: the cost of health insurance, the new Medicare discount card, and health care for retirees.

In addition, both KMSP and WFTC air a variety of other local programming of interest to the viewers in Minneapolis. For example, KMSP was the home of the High School Tournaments in 2003-04. The station's coverage included four days of boys hockey, one day of girls hockey, three days each of girls and boys basketball, and one day of prep football. In addition, the station also broadcast 25 Minnesota Wild hockey games, plus pre- and post-season specials. KMSP also aired pre- and post-game specials during the Minnesota Twins trips to the baseball playoffs each of the past two years. The station also aired its four-hour morning newscast live from the State Fair for seven days in August. WFTC, meanwhile, aired several news specials regarding Dru Sodjin, a special report regarding a bus strike, and 35 Minnesota Timberwolves games.

Political Coverage

Both KMSP and WFTC have devoted extensive time to coverage of political issues important to their viewers. During the time period covered by this report, for instance, the stations produced a series of stories following a focus group of undecided Minnesota voters, examining how they reacted to political events during the presidential campaign. The stations also have covered a number of Minnesota political issues during their newscasts, including: new sports stadiums, school standards, health care costs, death penalty, sex offender punishment, homelessness, state spending cutbacks, drinking in the State Capitol, and handgun conceal and carry. In addition, KMSP employs former Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson year-round as a political analyst.

Public Service Announcements

KMSP and WFTC make their air-time throughout the broadcast day available to public service announcements for a variety of causes, such as:

* Minnesota Zoo * Lance Armstrong Foundation * Ramsey County Adoption * Big Brothers/Big Sisters * Make A Wish Foundation * Arbor Day Foundation

2 * Connect for Kids * Bone Marrow Donor Program

For each of two sample weeks (January 12-19 and June 14-21, 2004), WFTC broadcast an average of 102 minutes of public service announcements – all without charging any of the organizations or causes for the time. Similarly, during the same two weeks, KMSP broadcast an average of 48 minutes of public service announcements without charge.

Participation in the Community

Both KMSP's and WFTC's on-air newscasters and behind-the-scenes employees have made a commitment to participate in the Minneapolis community. The stations' employees take part in a variety of events and causes in and around Minneapolis, such as:

* Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce * Washburn Child Guidance Center * 9-11 Minnesota Remembers Event * Minneapolis Holidazzle Parade * Sierra Club * Minnesota State Fair

KMSP and WFTC constantly gather information about the needs and interests of the members of their community, particularly by taking into account information that they receive from the Twin Cities Broadcast Ascertainment Group. The group meets quarterly with community leaders from throughout the stations' viewing area. Speakers at the group's recent surveys have represented a wide variety of interests, including business, government, elderly, environment and minorities. The stations' news staffs also regularly gather information about topics of interest from sources and from their interaction with members of the community.
