  • Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017
    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017 Background & Executive Summary § On behalf of the Classical Music Rising project Scott Williams approached NPR to assess what NPR Audience Insights has learned from classical music stations in PPM markets that might apply to all markets. § Using a Mon-Sun 6a-7p schedule, we identified 26 stations whose schedules consist at least 90% of classical music programming in PPM markets and 113 stations in diary metro markets. § Classical music stations in PPM markets… § comprise a larger percentage of listening § Have seen significant growth in listening since 2012; the growth spans from 6a to midnight § These stations have experienced double digit percentage growth in cume and AQH since Spring 2012 across each major daypart (morning, midday, afternoon and evenings) § In terms of percent growth, the largest increases occurred in the MF 3p-7p daypart: (cume 16% and AQH 35%) § Diary market stations … § Have not seen dramatic listening growth. We see a slight bump between 2p and 7p § Have experienced a similar growth in cume listeners, but AQH growth is considerably more modest, and has been flat in the morning daypart and nearly flat in the midday. § Time spent listening in PPM markets has grown over the past year, while it has declined in diary markets. That said, TSL is greater in diary markets, as one might expect using a diary methodology. § Percent of audience that is P1 has remained fairly consistent in PPM and diary markets § Listening to classical music stations in PPM and diary markets is growing in the 65+ demo. § I would be hesitant to draw any listening conclusions in diary markets, given the vastly different AQH measures.

Nikias, who had been the university’s chief academic officer since 2005, presided over the grand opening of the Tutor Campus Center as one of his first ceremonial duties as president. He invoked the words of Winston Churchill, who said “We shape our buildings, and afterward our buildings shape us,” adding: “This building reflects our Trojan values. It gives voice to our greatest aspirations.” Throughout his career at USC, Nikias has paid particular attention to creating a dynamic, well-rounded intellectual environment for students.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California John Sandbrook John Sandbrook: Oral Histories on the Management of Intercollegiate Athletics at UC Berkeley: 1960 - 2014 Interviews conducted by John Cummins in 2011 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and John Sandbrook dated October 16, 2016. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
