The Rep~rt of the North Carolina Task Force on PUbliJ:lecomm To Governor James B.

Hunt, Jr. INTERCONNECTIONS FOR NORTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND The Report of the North Carolina Task Force on Public Telecommunications to Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. The work of the North Carolina Task Force on Public Telecommunications was made possible by grants from the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation and the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation. NORTH CAROLINA TASl( FORCE ON PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS James B.Hunt, Jr., Governor Herbert L. Hyde, Chairman 116 WestJones Street Raleigh,27603 Office Staff: (919) 733-4131 April 4, 1979 The Honorable James B. Hunt, Jr. Governor of North Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina Dear Governor Hunt: I am pleased to present to you INTERCONNECTIONS FOR NORTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND, the report of the North Carolina Task Force on Public Telecommunications. In your Executive Order establishing this Task Force, you charged it to recommend ways of harnessing modern telecommunications for ~he benefit of all North Carolinians. From the beginning, it was clear that assessing a state's entire telecommunications posture is an impossible job, far too complex for a year's work. Yet, unless such an assessment were begun, North Carolina would be ill­ prepared to take advantage of burgeoning new communications technologies. Fortunately, your vision of the necessity for such a study was shared by two private foundations. The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation awarded start-up funds, and major support followed from the John and Mary R. Mark~e Foundation. The total of $84,052 was enhanced by a very strong commitment of time and energy from public officials and concerned citizens across North Carolina. Our comprehensive survey of a state's telecommunications facilities, and of the services delivered via those facilities, was apparently unique in 1978. Much attention has been focused on our efforts. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, formed in the Department of Commerce after our study was underway, appointed a special liaison to attend our meetings, observe our progress, and provide professional advice as needed. The title INTERCONNECTIONS FOR NORTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND stems from variations on the interconneo'tion theme observed throughout the study period. Telephone, tel~processing, broadcast and other networks interconnect people with e.ach other, and people with information, throughout North Carolina and beyond. Public agencies are -- or might be -- interconnected and thereby share in the use of public facilities. Interconnections beyond the borders of this state, by satellite communications, for example, are an increasingly important consideration. Honorable James B. Hunt, Jr. Page two April 4, 1979 Because some Task Force recommendations were intended for action during the 1979 session of the General Assembly, major portions of the recommendations were presented to you early this year. These and the other recommendations in this report share.three general goals: (1) to promote coordination and cooperation in telecommunications activities so that they may be undertaken effectively and efficiently; (2) to sustain interest in examining forms of telecommunications, old and new, as a way of equalizing and improving citizen access to quality services; and (3) to maintain the means or, if necessary, establish the means, whereby North Carolina will have the needed information and flexibility to make sound decisions during the coming decade of explosive technological developments. Our recommendations and this report fulfill the Task Force's responsibilities. Yet they constitute a beginning as well as an ending. In the future, quicker access to communications in emergencies could save lives. Video communications could allow residents of the most distant and rural areas of the state to tour the opening of the North Carolina Museum of Art in its new building. Citizens in every part of the state could listen to the proceedings of the General Assembly, or of their local school board, and thereby participate more directly in their government. Telecommunicated meetings of people in distant places could save energy, time and money. We are grateful for the privilege of exploring the public tele­ communications potential for North Carolina. This state can harness telecommunications for the economic, cultural, educa.... tional, social and, literally, physical welfare of its citizens. Under your leadership, the right course has been set toward interconnections of people with people, and of people with infor­ mation. We are confident that this course will be followed into the excitement of the dawning telecommunications era.

It seems that summer has kicked into gear in many parts of North America a little early. The grass is turning green, the trees are beginning to bud and the snow shovels are put away for the season. There’s been a little bit of tropo. There’s been a little bit of skip in the south. There’s also been some horrible storms and tornados in places. We hope everyone is okay and stayed out of danger. This month we find that Ken Simon (Lake Worthless, FL) has rejoined the club.

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.
