Iowa Public Radio and Our Network of 24 Stations Are Getting Pretty Close to Our “Collective” 100Th Birthday Our Mission: To enhance civic and cultural connections across the state, strengthening Iowa’s communities and reflecting Iowa’s sense of place. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Iowa Public Radio and our network of 24 stations are getting pretty close to our “collective” 100th birthday. In order to sustain our statewide news, information and music service, we have had to make some tough choices in how we manage our resources. Support from members and sponsors like you are the reason we are able to absorb the inevitable decline in federal funding and the eventual loss in university funding. We experienced some growth this year but have a long way to go. With your investment, we are committed to expanding the network and increasing our reach into Iowa’s communities. Thank you for being such a vital part of Iowa Public Radio, and for making the work we do every day possible. Art Neu, Chairman (and Proud IPR Member) 3 ENHANCING CONNECTIONS IOWA PUBLIC RADIO NEWS brings Iowans a deeper understanding of the world we live in as well as the people and events that shape our world, our state and our communities.

In conversations with friends and family, I have the most up-to-date information and usually have an aspect/side of the news they have not heard. I can listen to classical music to reduce the stress of daily living. I love Saturday and Sunday mornings with IPR. I love listening to the BBC News Hour. I gain knowledge of the stock market, how it works and why problems exist for companies around the May 10, 2012 world. I am constantly writing down book titles to Love Songs for Lonely Monsters plays live in IPR’s Studio One as part of the add to my list of must haves. The only thing I would Wellmark 80/35 Play In, presented by IPR. love and cannot get from IPR are pictures of quilts. Eight Iowa bands competed for a chance to play on the mainstage at the 2012 — Deborah, Dumont 80/35 music festival in Des Moines. I’m a member because I’m a college student. It’s easy to get so focused on the next paper I need to write or the presentation I have this afternoon that I forget to pay attention to what is happening in the rest of the world. Now, when someone asks me, “Have you heard about what’s happening in ____ ?,” I love being able to reply, “Yes, I heard about it this morning on IPR.” NPR is my favorite radio station. That’s why I contribute. — Kelsey, Cedar Falls I’m a member because with just the push of March 7, 2012 two buttons I can bring beautiful music into my Bob Dorr on-air live during the world at any time of the day or bring news and IPR Spring Membership Drive. information about what is happening in the world into my life.

  • 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.

  • Fy 2020 Capital Request
    FY 2020 CAPITAL REQUEST Iowa Public Radio (IPR) requests $1.3M for three high priority capital projects required for WOI-FM, KSUI-FM, and KICP-FM. These stations are three of the IPR network’s largest signals. Without timely attention, there is growing danger of significant failure. Iowa Public Radio respectfully requests support for these capital needs, which are explained in detail below. IPR manages 25 stations and serves 250,000 listeners statewide with three programming services: News, Classical, and Studio One. IPR’s combined radio groups serve rural and urban Iowa, touching all of Iowa’s 99 counties. The history of public radio in Iowa is long and proud: two of our stations are almost a century old, with licenses among the first 100 radio licenses ever granted by the FCC. We expect to celebrate their centennial in 2022. WOI-FM Antenna, Transmitter and Transmission Line Request: $830,000 for replacing WOI-FM antenna, transmission line, transmitter and studio-to- transmitter link This project would replace the antenna and transmission system for WOI-FM, licensed to Iowa State University. WOI-FM is the main signal for the Iowa Public Radio network in the Des Moines/Ames area, and is an essential hub for our statewide network. Originating in Ames, the signal serves 60,600 listeners in 15 counties in central Iowa with news, information and cultural programming. WOI-FM is very popular, averaging in the top 10 stations in the Des Moines metro market, and is ranked the #2 news station (of around 15) in the Des Moines metro area.

Executive Summary: Iowa Code §262.11 requires that certain agreements, leases and easements be approved by the Board of Regents by roll call vote. The University of Iowa with the Board as Tenant for the following lease: Hubbard Warehouse I, LLC & Hubbard Warehouse II, LLC (Tenants in Common) The University of Iowa requests Board approval to enter into a lease with Hubbard Warehouse I, LLC & Hubbard Warehouse II, LLC (Hubbard) of Coralville, Iowa to lease 27,000 square feet of warehouse space (see “UIHC Management Warehouse” in Attachment A) to be constructed at 3400 2nd Street in Coralville to store medical supplies for UIHC Processed Stores. Processed Stores centrally manages the inventory and distribution of clinical supplies and equipment throughout UIHC. The building, to be located in Coralville, would be built to a higher standard (food- grade quality) than typical warehouse spaces. Medical supplies used at the main UIHC hospital, Iowa River Landing and multiple other off-site clinics would be consolidated with this lease. A majority of the supplies of Processed Stores would be relocated to this off-site warehouse from its current location on the lower level of the John Colloton Pavilion.

  • Fy 2019 Capital Request
    FY 2019 CAPITAL REQUEST Iowa Public Radio (IPR) requests $1.18 M for two high priority capital projects, at WOI-FM (the flagship station for ISU’s radio group) and KSUI-FM (the flagship station for U of I’s radio group). WOI and KSUI are two of the IPR network’s largest signals. Without timely attention, there is growing danger of significant failure. Iowa Public Radio and the Iowa Board of Regents respectfully request support for these capital needs. Iowa Public Radio manages the stations on behalf of Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, per a Public Service Operating Agreement. Iowa Public Radio was created in 2004 by the Iowa Board of Regents to manage the public radio groups owned by Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa. On behalf of the universities, IPR manages 25 stations, with tangible assets valued at over $11 M, serving 260,000 listeners statewide with three programming services: News, Classical, and Studio One. Per our Public Service Operating Agreement with the Board of Regents and the universities, the universities provide the transmission and studio facilities, and IPR manages the stations for the universities. Significant capital maintenance needs are included in the Regents’ 5 year capital plans, and fall in the deferred maintenance line. In 2015, the legislature approved $100,000 to replace the transmitter of KICL-FM, a ISU-owed Des Moines-area Classical signal. The station was highly unreliable, suffering frequent outages. With your support, KICL is now a high functioning Classical music service. Your support was essential for that project.
