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.

  • Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital Management LLC Employees Healthcare Plans
    Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital HUMAN RESOURCES Management LLC Employees The University of Alabama at Birmingham uab.edu/benefits Healthcare Plans For new employees, coverage under UAB’s healthcare plans will begin on the date of employment. Employees who wish to enroll in one of UAB’s healthcare plans may do so within 31 days of their hire date or a separate qualifying event. If for some reason you do not enroll during the times stated above, the next opportunity to do so will be during the annual open enrollment period (usually during October with a January 1 effective date). UAB’s medical, dental, and vision plans are stand-alone programs. Premiums for medical, dental and vision insurance are pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. Traditional Medical Plans UAB offers eligible employees a choice of three stand-alone traditional medical plans: Viva UAB, Viva Access and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Traditional plans are characterized by lower out-of-pocket costs (copays and deductibles) for covered services when compared to the consumer-driven health plan (see below), and do not include a high annual deductible that must be met before insurance begins paying. Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA UAB offers eligible employees a consumer-driven health plan, Viva Choice. The difference between a traditional health plan and the Viva Choice CDHP is that in exchange for meeting a higher combined medical and Rx deductible, you will have lower monthly premiums. Viva Choice is paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) that enables you to set aside pre-tax via payroll or after tax dollars to pay for qualified, out-of-pocket expenses.

    Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB A Report To The Corporation for Public Broadcasting Regarding Potential Impacts To Public Radio Transmission Facilities From TV Band Repacking Dennis Wallace William Meintel MEINTEL, SGRIGNOLI, & WALLACE, LLC 1282 Smallwood Drive, Suite 372 Waldorf, MD 20603 (202) 251-7589 February 2, 2017 Radio Impacts from TV Facility Changes 1 of 11 Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB Executive Summary The firm of Meintel, Sgrignoli, and Wallace, LLC (MSW) is pleased to provide the following report to the Corporation for Public Television (CPB) in response to its Scope of Work to provide Post-Auction Spectrum Planning services to CPB. Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations.

WBHM’s award-winning news and entertainment programming provides an understanding of our diverse, complex, and ever-changing world through local reporting and programming from NPR. Our business model is unique. As an NPR member station and a non-profit entity, the vast majority of our funding comes not from advertising, but from corporate/business sponsors and listener contributions – it comes from our community. OUR LISTENERS APPRECIATE OUR SPONSORS! Among NPR news listeners: 82% have taken action specifically because of a sponsorship announcement. 75% say their opinion of a business is more positive when they find out it supports public radio. 69% prefer to buy products from businesses that support public radio when price and quality are equal. 60% pay attention to the sponsorship announcements they hear on public radio. 61% agree that public radio is selective about the businesses and products that can sponsor its programming. 53% feel the businesses they hear in sponsorship announcements on public radio are more credible than those they hear in advertising on other radio stations. THAT’S CALLED THE HALO EFFECT Because WBHM is a mission-driven, membership organization that the public sees as contributing to the local community, the sponsor is seen as supporting this community service as well — ultimately increasing awareness of your company and distinguishing you from competitors.

  • LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: Recreation
    LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: recreation THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE: ALABAMA’S LEGION FIELD GETS A NEW SOUND SYSTEM THAT MAKES ITS AUDIO JUST RIGHT “Centralized control makes the whole system so much easier to manage and troubleshoot should any problems arise. It’s now just a very powerful and very streamlined system.” —BRENT ADAMS, SYSTEMS SPECIALIST, SOUND ADVICE INTEGRATOR CHALLENGE LEGION FIELD, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA FIELD, LEGION Birmingham, Alabama’s legendary Legion Field is a massive stadium that seats more than 70,000 fans and hosts numerous sporting events. As the home field of the UAB Blazers football team and a host during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, the stadium’s legacy was growing—while its audio system remained stuck in the past. Stadium management and city officials knew fans were oftentimes straining to hear announcements or completely drowned in uneven sound. SOLUTION Working with the stadium’s existing system, the team at Professional Sound Advice integrated a digital, networked solution that transports signals around the stadium. The streamlined and economical solution eliminated even the stadium’s worst problem areas—while saving the city of Birmingham money. CONCLUSIONS Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, is nicknamed “the football capital of the south” for a reason. Constructed in 1926, this massive stadium seats more than 70,000 fans, is currently home field for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers football team, and hosts the Magic City Classic, the BBVA Compass Bowl, and many other events. In the wake of the destruction brought on by the tornadoes of April 2011, the stadium was the primary staging site for the Alabama National Guard relief efforts.
