EARLY IN THE YEAR, WE LAUNCHED EXPANDED NEWSCASTS, INCREASING OUR LOCAL NEWS COVERAGE FROM THE TRADITIONAL MORNING AND AFTERNOON DRIVE TIMES TO A STEADY FLOW OF UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE ADDED FOUR DAILY LOCAL NEWSCASTS TO OUR SCHEDULE AND STARTED LOCALLY PRODUCING SIX DAILY STATEWIDE NEWSCASTS. THAT MEANS WE ARE PRODUCING AND BROADCASTING LIVE, LOCAL, AND STATEWIDE NEWS EVERY HOUR FROM FIVE IN THE MORNING TO SIX AT NIGHT! ADDITIONALLY, AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO THE TEXAS NEWSROOM, WE ARE NOW THE PRIMARY STATION THAT MANAGES ALL OF THE STATEWIDE NEWSCASTS THAT ARE BROADCAST IN MORE THAN TWO DOZEN MARKETS ACROSS TEXAS. THIS YEAR, THE NOVEMBER 8 LOCAL ELECTION WAS MONUMENTAL FOR THE CITY OF HOUSTON AND ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. BY PROVIDING LIVE STATEWIDE COVERAGE AT THE POLLS AND POST ELECTION RESULTS ON NEWS 88.7 AND TV8 DURING AND AFTER THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THE VITAL IMPACT THAT VICTORS WILL HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY. WE ALSO LAUNCHED AN ENTERPRISE UNIT COMPOSED OF SEVERAL BEAT REPORTERS AND AN EDITOR WHO ARE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING DEEP SOURCES, DIGGING PAST THE HEADLINES, AND INVESTIGATING WRONGDOING AND MISMANAGEMENT. THE FIRST PROJECT THE ENTERPRISE UNIT TACKLED WAS OUR PODCAST 'BELOW THE WATERLINES: HOUSTON AFTER HURRICANE HARVEY'. THE PODCAST LOOKS INTO WHETHER HOUSTON IS ANY MORE FLOOD RESILIENT FIVE YEARS AFTER HARVEY DEVASTATED OUR REGION. THE ENTERPRISE REPORTERS EXAMINED MULTIPLE ANGLES OF HOUSTON'S RECOVERY, INCLUDING WHETHER FLOOD BUY-OUTS ACTUALLY WORK, HOW GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CAN HELP SOLVE FLOODING, AND THE PAINFULLY SLOW BUREAUCRACY THAT HAMPERS RECOVERY. HOUSTON PUBLIC MEDIA CONTINUES TO BE A LEADER AMONG ALL BROADCASTERS, PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL, IN BUILDING BRIDGES WITH PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS TO PROTECT AND SERVE GREATER HOUSTON'S COMMUNITIES. SERVING MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE IN GREATER HOUSTON AS THE MEDIA PARTNER FOR THE HOUSTON REGIONAL AMBER ALERT SYSTEM, DATACASTING TECHNOLOGY AND THE REGION'S EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM, HOUSTON PUBLIC MEDIA PRIORITIZES A SAFE COMMUNITY, WHICH REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY.
