Tim Isgitt from Public Media Company. Thanks Current for hosting this important conversation. 12:10:16 From Leah Clapman to Everyone: Hi all - Leah Clapman from PBS News Student Reporting Labs 12:13:19 From John Davidow to Everyone: Energy and commitment, Amen, Steve! 12:14:34 From Ruby Calvert to Everyone: Hello from CPB Board - thanks to Current for putting this webinar together. 12:15:23 From Jonathan Abbott to Everyone: Thanks Current. 12:15:42 From Margaret Miller to Host and panelists: So is the point that loss of federal funding = freedom from federal funding? 12:17:11 From Charles Gilbert to Everyone: Greetings from Buffalo Toronto Public Media | NPR - Charles Gilbert 12:18:36 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: šŸŽÆ 12:18:47 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Izzy ā€” with regard to local programming, you are generally correct that it doesnā€™t draw as large an audience as national programs in many cases. I can say that at OPB (starting before my time), OPBā€™s locally-focused programs were among the most valued and popular (especially on TV). 12:20:19 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Margaret Miller ā€” in a sense, Kris Kristopherson got it right when he wrote, ā€œfreedomā€™s just another word for nothing left to lose.ā€ Iā€™m not saying that the loss of federal funding is good. It just ā€œisā€ and we need to adjust. And itā€™s healthy to evaluate in what ways it was a limiting factor. 12:20:20 From Chris Daggett to Everyone: New Jersey Civic Information Consortium. Greetings, all! 12:20:25 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: Thanks Steve - OPBā€™s daily local radio show has underperformed recently. So - what does local radio need to evolve to? 12:20:36 From Becky Meiers to Everyone: Partnerships are so key! 12:20:57 From Steve Robinson to Everyone: Stations like KCRW and WBUR are ā€œmoving awayā€ from radio, where in their local markets there is very little competition, to platforms like TikTok, YouTube, podcasts and the rest of them where there are tens of MILLIONS of competitors. Does this make sense? 12:21:11 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Post questions for our panelists here. Weā€™ll collect them and get to them at the end (if they arenā€™t addressed sooner). 12:22:04 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Izzy ā€” Iā€™m far enough out of the day to day to know much about OPBā€™s ratings or what they need to do. Itā€™s possible that thereā€™s a lead in/format issue. The show is still sharp with a good host. 12:22:44 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Yes, partnerships with other "cool" local organizations, particularly in the arts, can be both cost-effective (e.g., "no money exchanged") and very much aligned with the community mission of public media. 12:23:03 From David Boffa to Everyone: I really appreciate what Iā€™m hearing in this conversation. A couple questions: those of you whoā€™ve implemented these practices (like Nathalie) how did you get buy-in from leadership? Were you able to get enthusiastic support or was it a struggle? And have you been able to find ways to make these approaches (outside of broadcast) financially sustainable? One of the pushbacks Iā€™ve gotten is the digital world doesnā€™t provide a comparable revenue stream 12:24:15 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Steve Robinson ā€” I think those platforms are a way to engage with people. I donā€™t think this should be an either/or in terms of doing that versus radio. Doing both is the way forward (and be skeptical of social platforms because the algorithms can change and leave you high and dry). 12:25:12 From Mollie Kabler to Everyone: Core mission is still serving community for community media entities. Focus on this rather than competing on platforms is still key. 12:26:17 From Joe Moore to Everyone: I agree with Steve. Our audiences today are not siloed. Even boomers are multiplatform users. It's not about being broadcast first or digital first, we need to be audience first, and center our strategy on being audience-centric. 12:26:53 From Kyle McEneaney to Everyone: ā¤ļø 12:27:55 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Because, as Erik just said, other civic organizations are experiencing similar challenges as we are, creative partnerships can be both appealing and critical to them, as they try to get word out about what they do. They also have their own audiences and constituencies which can engage with ours. 12:28:57 From Allie Vanyur to Everyone: šŸ‘‹ 12:29:05 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: that is awesome 12:29:54 From Scott Hanley to Everyone: What is our SERVICE model? 12:30:36 From Margaret Miller to Everyone: Comment: State public broadcasting networks provide highly cost effective services to some very rural areas due to efficiencies. 12:32:03 From Joni Deutsch to Everyone: Agree about thinking outside the box, particularly by collaborating with and bringing on outside perspectives and assistance! 12:32:17 From Chris White to Everyone: DJ Laylo! 12:32:45 From Margaret Miller to Everyone: Won't governance (i.e., FCC license holder) models have to evolve, too? Any thoughts on that? 12:32:48 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Will do, @SarahAbbamonte. Thereā€™s not much to report at the moment. Right now Iā€™m at the stage of trying to figure out how to make the argument itā€™s a good idea to do the work to produce RENEGADES with zero dollars for no pay while my husband is positing my hourly attorney rate makes it a lot easier to pay for kidsā€™ college tuitions. If anyone has any ideas for RENEGADES Season 2 or thinks I can help with your work, please feel free to reach out: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-u-2b418/ . RENEGADES drew younger, more diverse audiences to American Masterā€™s youtube channel, while connecting new audiences to various local stations, and providing workforce development training for mid career disabled creatives, getting most their first pay, credit, and awards. You can find more about RENEGADES series and incubator: https://www.inspirationfilms.com/ My husband would like you to know that if you need help negotiating your severance or exec comp agreement, you should also reach out. 12:33:33 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Margaret Miller ā€” they do. There can be incredible economies of scale. But those that are governed/oeprated by state governments are in a challenging position (e.g., Arkansas leaving PBS). 12:35:33 From Steve Bass to Everyone: I do think that governance models will need to evolve in many cases. The challenge with institutional or government owned public media organizations is that the governance structure is often focused on something other than the task at hand. And thereā€™s politics, too. 12:36:20 From Erik Langner to Everyone: Meg Miller - Iā€™m not sure why governance models need to change, but for instances where thereā€™s political pressure placed in institutional licensees. In the case of statewide or regional collaborations, I think we can keep licenses in place, and focus on shared services. In the case of mergers, it will be a typical license transfer. But Iā€™d be pleased to pursue this conversation with you if you have other thoughts. 12:37:18 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Feel free to reach out: stevenbass660@gmail.com 12:37:43 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: @stevebass nonprofit attorneys can help rewrite bylaws to tailor mission and provide safety nets. Boards need to look at bylaws and decide how they want to govern. You can do a lot with bylaws. 12:37:58 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: Apart from OPB and MPR, and there statewide networks w/o a deficit or can sustain w/o state and federal support? 12:38:33 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Agree that bylaws are important. And itā€™s important to have the fight kind of people on the board. This is not a time for passive boards. 12:38:59 From Chris White to Everyone: šŸ’Æ 12:39:03 From Chad Davis to Everyone: Two (related) post-CPB questions I have: How do we redefine who is categorized as ā€œpublic media,ā€ and how to we evolve the definition of ā€œuniversal serviceā€? 12:39:19 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Vermont, NH, Maine seem to be doing well. 12:40:00 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: Thanks Steve - thatā€™s five. Others? 12:40:02 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Arguing for REGIONAL diversity should be central to the public media philosophy. Embrace that perspective and other forms of diversity will naturally follow. 12:40:16 From John Davidow to Everyone: Important question @chad Davis 12:40:44 From Gary Bredow to Everyone: Will NETA, APT and PLUS still be distributing independent programs to the local markets in the same way they have in the past? 12:40:59 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: What can we, independent producers and others technically outside the station system but still committed to public media, do to support this new environment? 12:41:18 From Peter Maerz to Everyone: Hi all!~ Peter Maerz VP Radio WLRN Miami 12:42:04 From Ray Cobb to Everyone: Greeting from the ATL šŸ‘ Jazz 91.9 WCLK šŸŽŗ from the campus of Clark Atlanta University 12:42:29 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: The business case for diversity in leadership and audience is data supported, and itā€™s an effective defense. 12:43:25 From Justin McKee to Everyone: Re: shared servicesā€”I was the Creative Services Director at a PBS/NPR affiliate before being laid off in September. Even before that, the need for a shared public media creative (services) network was obvious. If that is relevant to you, Iā€™d love to chat! 12:43:39 From Joni Deutsch to Everyone: Something to consider: for any station/producer working on a public media podcast, this is the time to unlock the power of your podcast for revenue generation and audience growth. NHPR is a great example of a station who has been able to grow their podcast arm (production, audience growth, and monetization) by breaking the mold of what a "public media podcast" is thought to do. 12:43:49 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: NPR has been the catchall to describe all of public radio for many people (less so for larger markets I'm sure), but I agree that they shouldn't be the primary standard barer and organizer in this new era -- but what does that new decentralized identity look like -- is there some collaborative awareness campaigns or similar to begin working towards? 12:44:16 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: ā¤ļø 12:44:37 From Steve Robinson to Everyone: NHPR podcasts have a positive cash flow? Wow. 12:45:42 From Philip Glick, MD MBA to Everyone: Regardless of what is going on in DC, was it inevitable that federal funding for CPB would have decreased or stopped at some point? Perhaps not so abruptly? Perhaps not so completely. But in crisis their opportunities to innovate. This just accelerated the timeline! 12:46:08 From Peter Maerz to Everyone: Thinking digital/social consumers, especially on TikTok, but also YouTube, Instagram, etc, are not into long form journalism. 90 second attention spans do not seem to me to lead to investment to the point of membership. 12:46:21 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Hallie ā€” Iā€™ve been wondering if itā€™s time for NPR to focus on being a news organization and set aside the functions that are more appropriate for an association. CPB funding PMI is a step toward a new, ecosystem-focused approach to tech. But we need to look at other functions. It might be time to create an association of local public media organizations (maybe thatā€™s something that APTS should consider becoming) 12:46:28 From Sarah Abbamonte to Everyone: Wow, @JoniDeutsch! We've just named a Director of Podcast Strategy and this week launched our first episode of the Move to Include Podcast. 12:46:28 From David Boffa to Everyone: Itā€™s a great answer, Nathalie! Thank you very much. I really appreciate it 12:46:54 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Responding to Hallie (my opinion only): the national public media network is a sharing mechanism for locally produced content that enhances understanding and empathy across diverse communities around the country. 12:46:58 From Joni Deutsch to Everyone: Important to consider (and I wrote about this for my Harvard Nieman Lab Prediction last month): The FCCā€™s regulation for underwriting only applies to licensed, local broadcast outlets that transmit through the airwaves, but that does not apply to on-demand audio and podcasts. https://www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/podcasts-can-save-public-media-seriously/ 12:47:05 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: I've thought similarly Steve. You can get that together right? Thanks šŸ˜‡ 12:47:18 From Tim Roesler to Everyone: Izzy. I won't speak for Indiana, but they have/had a very active and cooperative association statewide, mostly around IPBN News, which now has been defunded by the state. But I've been a big fan of Indiana Public Broadcasters and the potential that they have to think through these issues together. 12:47:29 From Nathalie Hill to Everyone: Iā€™m 36 and get a lot of my news from substack and TikTok šŸ™‚ 12:47:58 From David Boffa to Everyone: I couldnā€™t agree more, Loira. Thank you for your insight! 12:48:00 From Joni Deutsch to Everyone: NHPR is a great example of this, as they leverage ad sales capabilities in a positive way. They previously worked with SXM on ad sales, but just moved to our tech stack and monetization team this past month: https://podglomerate.com/press-releases/nhpr-podcasts-join-podglomerate-ad-sales/ 12:48:03 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: Thanks Tim 12:48:03 From Tony Marcano to Everyone: At the California Newsroom (an NPR regional newsroom), we've been thinking a lot about how we move away from a "Hunger Games" model of competing for diminishing resources and join forces to maximize efficiencies. There's resistance, but I believe those silos are starting to erode. 12:48:10 From Michael Huntsberger to Everyone: Loira is absolutely right. 12:48:36 From Charles Gilbert to Everyone: Loira just want to say THANK YOU! 12:50:38 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: Well put Douglas (re: defining the ecosystem). Is there a pithy name or moniker that can be the new catchall like NPR has been? 12:52:05 From Margaret Miller to Host and panelists: Thank you -- very insightful. 12:52:05 From Steve Bass to Everyone: Agree with Erik. We need to look at the evolution of audience use separately. The trajectory is difffernt. 12:52:13 From Michael Huntsberger to Everyone: Well said Steve. There are great models outside of broadcasting that provide models for strong local governance - libraries, arts organizations, social service agencies, etc. 12:52:15 From Juan Vazquez-Leddon to Everyone: Steve: I think you hit the crux of the matter. Public media is evolving to where some may not be 'broadcasting' in the traditional sense. So you got it right, we're civic organizations, and one of our current methods of civic engagement is broadcast (along with education, events, etc...). Broadcast may not be part of that in the years ahead. 12:52:23 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Since Iā€™ve already gone off-ish topic once, Iā€™ll do it again and say thank you to everyone here who shares their time and talents to serve their communities and the public media ecosystem. Itā€™s righteous service. 12:52:57 From Hallie Sheck (WWNO) to Everyone: I win?? 12:52:58 From Fletcher Fischer to Everyone: Love to hear more about the funding mechanism on streaming platforms other than give aways. 12:53:04 From Selena Lauterer to Everyone: Yes Amanda ā€” a sacred act. 12:53:11 From David LeRoy to Host and panelists: too many ,media business models here.... Erick is key in sorted it just now.... 12:53:22 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Hey Chad. 12:54:30 From Joni Deutsch to Everyone: ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø 12:54:40 From Richard Eiswerth to Everyone: As we redefine public media for the future, what role, if any, should non-broadcast non-profit journalism play? 12:55:18 From Scott Hanley to Everyone: We were built from a system of good intentions, collected by a mission, standards and criteria. There was, at first, a very small grant as the carrot - but the mission was first. 12:55:22 From Erik Langner to Everyone: Rich: I think it should and will play a significant role At the Bridge Fund, we will be heavily focused on how to bring those communities together for greater impact. 12:55:47 From Jackie Stapleton to Everyone: @Juan Vazquez-Leddon - First, hi! šŸ™‚ This would be a great convo to continue offline. Hope you are well! 12:56:28 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Is the Bridge Fund supporting production? 12:56:32 From Duane Spilde to Everyone: Hi, Jackie. Good idea. 12:56:32 From David LeRoy to Host and panelists: The weakness of the membership model 's is available audience size (broadcasters/ social media). 12:56:44 From Douglas Chang to Everyone: Can we set up some "thinktank" meetings between producers and stations (sorry if I'm putting the stations on the hot seat but I think some great ideas can come out of that)? Thanks to Current for starting this process! 12:57:19 From Jackie Stapleton to Everyone: Hi, Duane! Glad you are here. 12:57:49 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: What do our communities need, and how can each region meet those needs in ways that will attract enough audience across platforms that the work is sustainable by those communities? 12:59:12 From John Davidow to Everyone: Good question Izzi, much tougher answer. 12:59:21 From Michael Huntsberger to Everyone: Iā€™ live in Oregon, and Iā€™ve seen how the content sharing heā€™s describing has worked to build OPBā€™s very strong brand. 12:59:47 From Izzi Smith to Everyone: For sure John - but amplifying starting with community need rather than ā€œours." 12:59:55 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Thanks, Erik. Our RENEGADES series production was focused on reaching several local stations, with an intent to eventually take productions and the workforce development program to local stations, but local stations werenā€™t equipped to work with disabled creatives, audiences. We did a lot of training with the couple of local stations to partner with them. Related, Iā€™m wondering how the Bridge Fund is ensuring that stations are reaching disabled community members through accessible programming. 13:00:05 From John Davidow to Everyone: totally! 13:00:26 From Leah Clapman to Everyone: schools and youth organizations are critical partners for this news ecosystem: https://niemanreports.org/teen-media-funding-pbs-student-reporting-labs/ 13:00:38 From Andy Kubis to Everyone: Couldnā€™t agree more, Leah 13:00:40 From Kristina Killingsworth to Everyone: Thank you all! This has been so informative. 13:01:08 From Amanda Upson to Everyone: Given only $.01 of every $10 of philanthropy goes to disability anything, I wondered if you can talk about how The Bridge Fund is addressing this. 13:01:18 From Joe Moore to Everyone: At KVPR, we've partnered with the local Central Valley Journalism Collaborative, and do content sharing and collaboration with a number of local non-profit newsrooms.
