Desc	SEE SCHEDULE O.MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO OPERATES A 45-STATION RADIO NETWORK SERVING NEARLY ALL OF MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF SURROUNDING STATES. REACHING ONE MILLION LISTENERS EACH WEEK, MPR AND ITS THREE REGIONAL SERVICES-MPR NEWS, CLASSICAL MPR AND THE CURRENT-PRODUCE PROGRAMMING FOR RADIO, DIGITAL AND LIVE AUDIENCES. PROGRAMS PRODUCED BY MPR'S NATIONAL PROGRAMMING DIVISION, AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA, REACH MORE THAN 19 MILLION LISTENERS VIA NEARLY 1,000 RADIO STATIONS NATIONWIDE EACH WEEK. APM IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF PUBLIC RADIO PROGRAMMING IN THE WORLD, WITH A PORTFOLIO THAT INCLUDES A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, BBC WORLD SERVICE, MARKETPLACE, AND THE LEADING CLASSICAL MUSIC PROGRAMMING IN THE NATION. APM ALSO OFFERS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PODCASTS FEATURING THE BEST IN FOOD, CULTURE, ENTERTAINMENT, BUSINESS AND INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. YOURCLASSICAL, APM'S LIFESTYLE CLASSICAL MUSIC STREAM, PACKAGES CLASSICAL MUSIC IN AN UNCONVENTIONAL AND INNOVATIVE WAY WITH STREAMS SUITED FOR LIFE'S BIGGEST MOMENTS AND EVERYDAY SITUATIONS. SOURCE: DATA ARE COPYRIGHT NIELSEN AUDIO. DATA ARE ESTIMATES ONLY.NOT ONLY IS MPR COMMITTED TO BROADCASTING VITAL PROGRAMMING ACROSS THE REGION, BUT ALSO TO BEING PRESENT IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. WHETHER THROUGH DIALOGUE OR SONG, WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR PUBLIC SERVICE ROLE AS CONVENERS TO FOSTER CONVERSATIONS AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AND HEALING, AND BUILD STRONGER COMMUNITIES. AUDIENCES ARE VITAL PARTICIPANTS WHEN OUR MUSIC SERVICES BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR POWERFUL, SHARED MUSICAL EXPERIENCES. CLASSICAL MPR HOSTED 'BRING THE SING' CONCERTS IN ST. PAUL AND DULUTH, INVITING LISTENERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CREATE A CHORUS WITH US. CLASSICAL MPR ALSO INVITED THE MINNESOTA AND DALLAS COMMUNITIES TO UNITE FOR A 'BRIDGE OF SONG,' FOLLOWING TRAGEDIES IN BOTH CITES (THE SHOOTING DEATHS OF PHILANDO CASTILE IN MINNESOTA AND OF FIVE POLICE OFFICERS IN DALLAS). ACROSS THE MILES AND JOINED VIA TECHNOLOGY, HUNDREDS OF VOICES SANG TOGETHER-AT ONE POINT SINGING THE SAME PIECE OF MUSIC AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS AN EVENING OF SONG AND REFLECTION THAT PROVIDED MUCH NEEDED UPLIFT AND UNITY FOR PARTICIPANTS AND LISTENERS. TOGETHER WITH OUR AUDIENCES IN GREATER MINNESOTA, WE HELPED MOVE IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS FORWARD THROUGH MPR NEWS-HOSTED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE, THE ECONOMY AND HEALTH. HOST TOM WEBER MODERATED A FORUM IN ST. CLOUD WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHARED EXPERIENCES OF BEING MUSLIM IN MINNESOTA. CATHY WURZER AND DAN KRAKER GATHERED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS IN HIBBING TO SHARE CONCERNS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO BUILD A STRONGER IRON RANGE ECONOMY. AND IN ROCHESTER, CATHY WURZER AND PAUL HUTTNER LED A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PUBLIC HEALTH. IN THE WAKE OF THE DEATH OF MINNESOTA MUSIC ICON PRINCE, THE CURRENT HELPED CONNECT THE ARTIST'S FANS AND ADMIRERS ACROSS CITIES AND CONTINENTS TO CELEBRATE AND GRIEVE TOGETHER THROUGH MULTIPLE DAYS OF ON-AIR AND ONLINE TRIBUTES, BECOMING WHAT THE DAILY BEAST CALLED "THE WORLD'S PRINCE MEMORIAL." THE AUDIENCE JOINED THE CONVERSATION, AS PRINCE'S ENTIRE CATALOGUE OF MUSIC WAS SHARED NON-STOP OVER 75 HOURS. TOGETHER, WE CREATED A GENUINE WORLDWIDE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE JOY OF CONNECTION WITH PRINCE'S MUSIC AND EACH OTHER. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM MORE THAN 200 COUNTRIES TUNED IN TO THE STREAM OR VISITED RICH ONLINE CONTENT THAT WAS QUICKLY, YET CAREFULLY, CREATED TO APPROPRIATELY HONOR AND CELEBRATE A MINNESOTA MUSIC LEGEND. THOUSANDS MORE JOINED AN ALL-NIGHT DANCE PARTY HOSTED BY THE CURRENT AT MINNEAPOLIS' FIRST AVENUE. SPONTANEOUS COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CURRENT, MPR NEWS AND CLASSICAL MPR HELPED BRING PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE REGION THE BEST AND MOST COMPLETE PROGRAMMING ABOUT PRINCE, HIS MUSIC AND HIS LEGACY. AND AMIDST THE SADNESS AND LOSS, LISTENERS WORLDWIDE EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR THE CURRENT 'BEING THERE.' THE IMPACT OF OUR JOURNALISM CAN REACH FAR AND WIDE-INFORMING PUBLIC POLICY, CIVIC CONVERSATIONS, AND INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL DECISION-MAKING. OUR MPR AND APM JOURNALISTS ARE COMMITTED TO BRINGING IMPORTANT ISSUES TO THE FOREFRONT, ADDING CLARITY AND PERSPECTIVE TO COMPLEX ISSUES, DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND ENSURING THAT RELEVANT VOICES ARE HEARD. OUR REPORTERS ENDEAVOR TO BRING MANY SIDES OF EACH STORY TO OUR AUDIENCES TO DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING AND RELEVANCE. A TEAM OF MPR NEWS REPORTERS CLOSELY FOLLOWED THE IMPORTANT LOCAL AND NATIONAL STORY ABOUT THE FEDERAL TRAIL OF SOMALI-AMERICAN MUSLIM MEN ACCUSED OF TRYING TO JOIN THE ISIS TERROR GROUP. COVERING THE STORY FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, REPORTER MUKHTAR IBRAHIM WAS A KEY VOICE IN TELLING THIS IMPORTANT STORY. LISTENERS BENEFIT FROM PARTNERSHIPS THAT HELP MPR AND APM CREATE AND DELIVER RICH, INNOVATIVE, RELEVANT PROGRAMMING TO MORE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. WE'RE SERVING NEW, YOUNG AUDIENCES BY PARTNERING WITH ARTISTS TO BRING LIVE CLASSICAL MUSIC AND MUSICIANS TO MINNESOTA SCHOOLS.
