    As General Managers of Public Radio stations that serve millions of Americans in communities large and small, urban and rural and; As Producers of local, regional and national content aired by stations throughout the nation committed to telling the evolving story of America, its proud history, and its committed citizens; We are writing to express our grave concern regarding the House legislation that would prohibit stations from using any Federal funds to pay for national programming and would eliminate CPB’s Program Fund. By prohibiting the use of Federal funds in any national programming, and in particular, by eliminating the CPB Program Fund, millions of Americans will be deprived of critical national and international news, information and cultural programming that cannot be found elsewhere. Local public radio stations will no longer reliably provide the community information and context so necessary to cities and towns challenged by change and faltering economies. Institutions and projects at risk include: - Radio Bilingüe’s national program service, public radio’s principal source of Latino programming - Koahnik Public Media’ Native Voice 1, public radio’s principal source of Native American programming - Youth Media, the California-based media network of young audio and video producers and a key source of a youth voice in the mass media - The Public Insight Network, American Public media’s expanding project to bring citizen experts into public radio journalism - Independent producers who depend upon the Program Fund for money to support production of series such as StoryCorps and This I Believe - Independent organizations dedicated to innovation, training, and excellence in journalism such as the Public Radio Exchange and the Association of Independents in Radio.

  • The Public Radio Exchange: Station Collaboration Project 1. PROJECT PURPOSE
    The Public Radio Exchange: Station Collaboration Project Project Narrative 1. PROJECT PURPOSE The Public Radio Exchange (PRX) is a nonprofit Internet-based service for peer review, licensing, and digital distribution of radio content. As a new portal, toolkit, and marketplace for the public radio system, the PRX is a platform on which stations can select extraordinary peer- reviewed content to assemble unique and compelling programming to enrich their public service. This project will use the emerging PRX platform to foster station-to-station collaboration and exchange around news, information, and cultural projects based on local, state, regional and thematic coverage. The project will create new opportunities for public service programming of exceptional quality, interest, and importance to reach public radio’s listeners. Background Every week, one out of every ten Americans in communities across the country goes to their public radio station for information, culture, and dialogue. Public radio today is one of the country’s most trusted editorial voices, with surveys consistently ranking the stations and their services as among the most trusted, respected, and reliable of the nation’s institutions. Today there are over six hundred locally-controlled public radio licensees operating more than one thousand stations nationwide. These stations are deeply engaged in questions of mission, public service, connection to community, and meaningful roles in local civic and cultural affairs. They share a powerful impulse towards choosing, producing, and exchanging content that extends public radio’s core values and gives richer meaning to their goals of significant programming. Problem: Obstacles to Content Exchange • The acquisition, evaluation, and exchange of non-network programming are cumbersome and expensive.

  • 31 Nonprofit Media
    31 Nonprofit Media Though public radio and TV—NPR and PBS member stations—are perhaps the most recognized noncommercial outlets, the nonprofit media sector is far larger and more varied. It includes nonprofit websites, PEG channels, lower power FM stations, state public affairs networks, journalism schools, public radio networks unaffiliated with NPR, foun- dations, mobile news apps, and others. The public policy issues affecting nonprofit media organizations vary as well. PUBLIC BROADCASTING FCC Rules Governing Public TV and Radio Since the 1930s, Congressional and FCC policies have mandated that spectrum be set aside for noncommercial use. The FCC first began reserving spectrum for noncommercial educational (NCE) radio broadcast use in 1938, selecting channels in the 41–42 MHz band1 before moving the reserved band to 88–92 MHz in 1945.2 In radio, the FCC contin- ues to reserve the lowest 20 channels on the FM broadcast band for NCE use, as well as channel 200 (87.9 MHz) for class-D NCE stations.3 The FCC has never reserved any AM channels for noncommercial use. In 1952, the FCC ruled that when more than three VHF channels were assigned to a city, one would be reserved for educational institutions. A total of 242 channels were reserved. By 2001, these had grown to more than 370 public TV stations.4 The current estimated value of NCE television spectrum ranges from $1.96 billion to $26.8 billion.5 There are currently 3,311 NCE FM stations in the U.S., approximately 23 percent of the total number of radio stations.6 The FCC Media Bureau es- timates that about 500 more NCE stations will be created over the next three years as a result of applications granted during the 2007 and 2010 filing windows.
