DIRS is currently activated for all counties in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On September 14 DIRS was deactivated for all counties in Alabama, Georgia and Puerto Rico. Note that the operational status of communications services during a disaster may evolve rapidly, and this report represents a snapshot in time. It should also be noted that not all communications providers have reported in DIRS, so some outage information may not be complete. The following counties are in the geographic area that was covered by the DIRS activation as of this morning (the “disaster area”).

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.

The front cover photo (courtesy of Fednav) depicts activity at the Port of Johnstown during the 2019 navigation season. High water levels on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River necessitated the International Joint Commission releasing record-breaking volumes of water via the Moses-Saunders dam in Cornwall, Ontario, to lessen the flooding of shoreline communities.
