AS THE NATION'S FIRST COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED STATION, WQED HAS BEEN CHANGING LIVES IN THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1954 THROUGH IMPACTFUL TELEVISION, CLASSICAL RADIO AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES. WQED MULTIMEDIA INCLUDES: WQED-HD; WQED: THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHANNEL: WQED; THE CREATE CHANNEL; AND WQED SHOWCASE. RADIO SERVICES INCLUDE CLASSICAL WQED-FM/PITTSBURGH; WQEJ-FM/JOHNSTOWN; THE PITTSBURGH CONCERT CHANNEL AT WQED-HD2 (89.3-2 FM) AND ONLINE AT WQED.ORG/FM; IQ KIDS RADIO; LOCAL AND NATIONAL TELEVISION AND RADIO PRODUCTIONS; WQED INTERACTIVE; AND IQ: SMARTMEDIA EDUCATION INITIATIVE. WQED'S FOUR DIGITAL TELEVISION SIGNALS AVERAGED 1,179,000 WEEKLY VIEWERS AND WQED-FM AVERAGED 93,600 WEEKLY LISTENERS IN 2013. WQED SERVED 234,700 CHILDREN OVER THE AIR, ONLINE AND IN PERSON THROUGH ITS IQ: SMARTMEDIA INITIATIVE. WQED INTERACTIVE BOASTS 978,000 MILLION ANNUAL VISITORS. WQED IS EXPANDING ITS SERVICE OF PUBLIC MEDIA FOR THE COMMUNITY WHILE ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL GUIDE THE ORGANIZATION INTO A NEW FUTURE. WQED HAD ANOTHER STELLAR YEAR OF LOCAL PRODUCTION ON TELEVISION AND RADIO THAT GARNERED MULTIPLE AWARDS, INCLUDING SIX MID-ATLANTIC EMMY AWARDS. THERE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE GROWTH AND IMPACT IN IQ: SMARTMEDIA, INCLUDING A NEW TRANSMEDIA SERIES CALLED IQ: SMARTPARENT AND A NEW INTERNET RADIO STREAM CALLED IQ KIDS RADIO. WQED INTERACTIVE DEVELOPED MORE ORIGINAL CONTENT, INCLUDING A LOCAL TIE-IN TO THE NATIONAL PBS PROGRAM ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON. WQED COMPLETED A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL GUIDE THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THIS PLAN INCLUDES FAR-REACHING INITIATIVES FOR TELEVISION, RADIO, WQED INTERACTIVE AND IN THE MANY EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS THROUGH IQ: SMARTMEDIA. THE PLAN IS FOCUSED AND OUTLINES A DIRECTION THAT WILL MAKE WQED AN EVEN GREATER SOURCE OF PUBLIC MEDIA FOR EVERYONE. THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS BROKEN DOWN INTO FIVE SIMPLE GOALS THAT STAY TRUE TO WQED'S EDUCATIONAL MISSION WHILE INCORPORATING NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE FUTURE: TO INSPIRE CHILDREN EVERYWHERE TO LEARN AND EXCEL IN A MEDIA-RICH WORLD BY DEEPENING THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE AND IMPACT OF PUBLIC MEDIA. BE PBS PITTSBURGH, REACHING EVERYONE IN THE REGION WITH FREE TRUSTED NON-COMMERCIAL PROGRAMMING FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. LEAD IN CIVIC DIALOGUE AND REFLECT THE UNIQUE CULTURAL VITALITY OF THE PITTSBURGH REGION THROUGH LOCAL TELEVISION, RADIO AND INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING. CREATE THE PUBLIC MEDIA CENTER FOR INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO ADVANCE IDEAS, BUSINESS MODELS AND BREAKTHROUGHS FOR LOCAL BENEFIT AND NATIONAL IMPACT. BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE NONPROFIT PUBLIC MEDIA COMPANY OF THE FUTURE TO SECURE WQED'S SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. WQED'S TRANSMEDIA SERIES FOR PARENTS, IQ: SMARTPARENT, IS HELPING PARENTS NAVIGATE THE OVERWHELMING DIGITAL OPTIONS THAT CHILDREN HAVE TODAY. THROUGH A SERIES OF BROADCASTS AND A ROBUST ONLINE COMMUNITY AT WQED.ORG/SMARTPARENT, IQ: SMARTPARENT EQUIPS PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO AID THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND USE OF DIGITAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING. ALL SIX BROADCASTS AND THE ENTIRE INITIATIVE BENEFIT FROM THE EXPERTISE OF COMMON SENSE MEDIA, THE LEADING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO HELPING PARENTS FIND AGE-APPROPRIATE, QUALITY MEDIA. PARENTS CAN JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE WITH #IQSMARTPARENT ON FACEBOOK, GOOGLE +, PINTEREST AND TWITTER. IQ KIDS RADIO IS AN ONLINE STATION THAT FEATURES AGE-APPROPRIATE CONTENT FOR CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 12 AND CAN BE ACCESSED FROM ANY MOBILE PHONE AS WELL AS THE WEB. THE STATION INCLUDES DIVERSE MUSIC AND EDUCATIONAL CONTENT FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES LITERACY, SCIENCE, MUSIC, MATH AND GEOGRAPHY THAT KIDS WILL LOVE AND ON WHICH CAREGIVERS CAN RELY. WQED KICKED OFF THE TELEVISION SEASON WITH A SLATE OF NEWLY PRODUCED LOCAL PROGRAMMING AND WELCOMED ITS NEWEST LOCAL PRODUCTION, CONVERSATION@WQED. RICK SEBAK CELEBRATED 25 YEARS AT WQED WITH TWO NEW DOCUMENTARIES (ONE LOCAL AND ONE NATIONAL), AND WQED-GM CELEBRATED ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY. WQED'S LOCAL PROGRAMMING INITIATIVE IN 2013 INCLUDED A VIBRANT LINEUP OF LOCALLY-PRODUCED PROGRAMS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA COMPONENTS THAT SPANNED TOPICS AS VARIED AS THE ARTS; EDUCATION; POLITICS; DIVERSITY IN PITTSBURGH; LITERACY; LOCAL TRENDS; PITTSBURGH HISTORY; AND LOCAL TOWNS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. THE LOCAL PROGRAMMING LINEUP INCLUDED EXPERIENCE; PITTSBURGH 360; CONVERSATION@WQED; HORIZONS; EXPERIENCE; 4802; FILMMAKERS CORNER; AND QED COOKS. (CONTINUED) WQED'S SHOWCASE CHANNEL LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AS A WAY TO GENERATE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO WQED WITH POPULAR PERFORMANCE, SELF-HELP AND COOKING PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING PLEDGE BREAKS. THE CONCEPT WAS A FIRST FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING. GUN VIOLENCE WAS AGAIN IN THE NEWS THIS YEAR IN THE WAKE OF SEVERAL TRAGIC SHOOTINGS. THANKS TO A GRANT FROM THE PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION, WQED MOUNTED A MULTIMEDIA INITIATIVE TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF GUN VIOLENCE AND WAYS TO SOLVE IT. WQED TOOK AN IN-DEPTH AND THOUGHTFUL LOOK AT THE ISSUE TO EXAMINE THE CAUSES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. ALL PROGRAMS IN THE SERIES (INCLUDING OTHERS PRODUCED IN THE PAST) ARE AVAILABLE TO WATCH ONLINE AT WQED.ORG/GUNVIOLENCE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PUBLIC WAS ASKED TO SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STORIES AND EXPERIENCES WITH GUN VIOLENCE ON THE SITE THROUGH A "SHARE YOUR STORY" PORTAL AND SURVEY. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES INCLUDING LOCAL STATISTICS AND LINKS ARE ALSO LISTED ON THE SITE. THE SECOND SEASON OF WQED'S PORTRAYAL AND PERCEPTION INITIATIVE KICKED OFF WITH AN ENTIRELY NEW CONCEPT THAT ADDED IMPACT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY. WQED PARTNERED WITH BLACK MALE ENGAGEMENT (BME), WHICH PILOTED PROJECTS IN PHILADELPHIA, DETROIT AND BALTIMORE TO HIGHLIGHT BLACK MALES ENGAGING WITH AND LEADING OTHERS IN SERVICE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT WELCOMED COMMUNITY-PRODUCED CONTENT FROM THE SOURCES OF THE INITIATIVE AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN AND BOYS WHO ARE EMERGING LEADERS AND CLOSEST TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. CONTENT WAS HOUSED ON THE BME WEBSITE AT HTTP://BMECOMMUNITY.ORG/ WITH LINKS TO WQED INTERACTIVE, AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN DISTRIBUTING CONTENT TO THE COMMUNITY. WQED AND BME CREATED A STREET TEAM TO COLLECT STORIES AND INDIVIDUALS WERE ABLE TO RECORD AND SUBMIT THEIR OWN STORIES. THE TOP STORIES WERE HIGHLIGHTED ON WQED INTERACTIVE. (CONTINUED) WE MARKED THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF WQED-FM WITH A LOOK BACK AT OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, TRIBUTES AND TESTIMONIALS, MEMBER EVENTS, AND MANY COMMUNITY CELEBRATIONS. WQED-FM IS THE VOICE OF THE ARTS IN PITTSBURGH. AT A TIME WHEN OTHER CITIES HAVE LOST OR ARE LOSING THEIR CLASSICAL MUSIC STATIONS, WQED-FM IS ABLE TO STAY ON THE AIR THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF THIS COMMUNITY, DEDICATED FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATE SUPPORT. OUR REPEATER IN JOHNSTOWN AT WQEJ-FM 89.7 WELCOMES AN AUDIENCE THAT COVERS CAMBRIA, SOMERSET, INDIANA, BLAIR, AND BEDFORD COUNTIES ALMOST TO THE CENTER OF THE STATE. WQED-FM AIRED LIVE PERFORMANCES OF THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, TRAVELING WITH THE SYMPHONY ON THEIR EUROPEAN TOURS, GOING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO RECORD AND BROADCAST SMALL MUSICAL GROUPS, AND PROVIDING EXPOSURE TO HUNDREDS OF SMALL ARTS AND CULTURE ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO MARKET THEMSELVES. IT'S ALL A PART OF THE SERVICE WQED-FM PROVIDES TO THIS REGION THAT MAKES PITTSBURGH ONE OF THE MOST LIVABLE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY. WQED STAFF WERE BUSY THIS YEAR WITH LIVE BROADCASTS FROM THE PITTSBURGH WINE FESTIVAL, ART ALL NIGHT AND HEINZ HALL. WE ANNOUNCED THE WINNERS OF OUR MUSICAL KIDS COMPETITION IN APRIL. JIM CUNNINGHAM HOSTED THE SEASON FINALE OF THE YOUTH SYMPHONY CONCERT ON MAY 19 AND THEIR FUNDRAISER ON JUNE 2. THIS SUMMER, THE TRILLIUM ENSEMBLE PERFORMED LIVE AT WQED-FM'S CULTURAL DISTRICT STUDIO AND WE HOSTED LIVE PERFORMANCES ON THE QED MORNING SHOW. WQED AGAIN HOSTED SEVERAL CONCERTS DURING THIS YEAR'S FIRST FRIDAY'S AT THE FRICK AND A LIVE BROADCAST OF THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA'S FINAL CONCERT OF THE SEASON. WQED-FM STAFF WAS LIVE AT THE THREE RIVERS ART FESTIVAL FOR THE FIRST-EVER CLASSICAL MUSIC DAY IN JUNE.
