WQED CREATES, PRODUCES, AND DISTRIBUTES QUALITY PROGRAMS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES TO ENGAGE, INFORM, EDUCATE, AND ENTERTAIN THE PUBLIC WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY AND AROUND THE WORLD. WQED PITTSBURGH IS ONE OF THE FIRST BROADCASTERS IN THE COUNTRY TO BE FULLY HIGH-DEFINITION (HD) IN ITS STUDIO AND FIELD PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES. WQED MANAGES VARIOUS MEDIA DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING WQED-TV (PBS); WQED: THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHANNEL; WQED: THE CREATE CHANNEL; CLASSICAL WQED-FM 89.3/PITTSBURGH; CLASSICAL WQEJ-FM 89.7/JOHNSTOWN; LOCAL AND NATIONAL TELEVISION AND RADIO PRODUCTIONS; WQED INTERACTIVE (WWW.WQED.ORG); AND THE WQED EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. 0 0 8642597 2832788 IN FISCAL YEAR 2011, WQED PREMIERED FIVE NEW LOCAL PROGRAMS ON WQED-TV, LAUNCHED IQ: SMARTMEDIA, COVERED THE ARTS ON CLASSICAL WQED-FM 89.3 AND MADE WQED INTERACTIVE A CENTRAL RESOURCE AND WQED'S WINDOW TO THE WORLD. WQED CONTINUED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF THE COMMUNITY.SINCE THE LAUNCH OF A NEW LINEUP OF LOCAL PROGRAMMING ON NOVEMBER 1, 2010, WEEKLY AUDIENCE - JUST ON WQED-TV - ROSE FROM 679,000 VIEWERS IN FALL 2010 TO 795,000 VIEWERS IN SPRING 2011 - AN ADDITIONAL 116,000 VIEWERS EACH WEEK.ABOUT 222,000 CHILDREN - 77% OF THE KIDS IN OUR REGION, WATCH HIGH QUALITY CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING ON WQED-TV.WQED SERVED 51,000 TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS IN PERSON WITH EDUCATIONAL CONTENT, TRAINING AND SUPPORT THROUGH IQ: SMARTMEDIA.LISTENERSHIP ON CLASSICAL WQED-FM REMAINS STEADY AT 100,000 LISTENERS EACH WEEK.WQED'S WEBSITE ATTRACTS ALMOST 900,000 VISITORS FROM 181 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES - VISITORS WHO SPEND AN AVERAGE OF 60 MINUTES ON THE SITE, LISTENING TO THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY RADIO SERIES, THE LIVE STREAM OF WQED-FM, AND WATCHING ALL OF WQED'S LOCAL SHOWS ONLINE, FOR FREE.WQED HAS MORE THAN 8,000 FACEBOOK FANS AND TWITTER FOLLOWERS.WQED KICKS OFF NEW LOCAL PROGRAMMING LINEUPWQED LAUNCHED FIVE NEW PROGRAMS IN NOVEMBER 2010 -- THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROGRAMMING INNOVATION AT WQED IN MORE THAN A DECADE. THE SHOWS HAVE QUITE A FOLLOWING ALREADY ON TELEVISION, WQED ON DEMAND AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WQED COVERED NEW AND CONTROVERSIAL GROUND WITH THE FIRST EPISODE OF "EXPERIENCE" ON MARCELLUS SHALE AND THE FOLLOW-UP LIVE TOWN HALL MEETING TWO DAYS LATER. WQED INTRODUCED VIEWERS TO THE CULTURE AND CUSTOMS OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY ON HORIZONS; RICK SEBAK TOOK VIEWERS THROUGH A LITTLE-KNOWN DOWNTOWN TERRA COTTA SCULPTURE GARDEN ON "IT'S PITTSBURGH & AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF"; "PITTSBURGH 360" WENT ON LOCATION FOR A SPECTACULAR INSIDE VIEW OF THE VATICAN SPLENDORS EXHIBIT AT THE HEINZ HISTORY CENTER; AND "4802" SPUN THE ROUNDTABLE FOR A LOOK BACK AT AN HISTORIC MID-TERM ELECTION. AND THAT WAS IN JUST THE FIRST WEEK OF THE NEW LINEUP.THE NEW PROGRAMS INCLUDE AN ONLINE SURVEY COMPONENT FOR US TO GAUGE IMPACT AND RELEVANCE. AN ONLINE SURVEY AFTER THE MARCELLUS SHALE DOCUMENTARY AND TOWN HALL MEETING SHOWED THAT 84% OF RESPONDENTS EITHER "AGREED" OR "STRONGLY AGREED" THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF IN-DEPTH COVERAGE ABOUT MARCELLUS SHALE ON LOCAL COMMERCIAL STATIONS; 78% "AGREED" OR "STRONGLY AGREED" THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT MARCELLUS SHALE DRILLING; AND A WHOPPING 95% WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING MORE WQED COVERAGE OF THE SUBJECT OF MARCELLUS SHALE.ALL OF THE NEW PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AFTER BROADCAST AT WQED INTERACTIVE. FACEBOOK PAGES FOR THE PROGRAMMING LINEUP CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE WQED PAGE AT WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/WQEDPITTSBURGH. CLASSICAL WQED-FM CLASSICAL WQED-FM 89.3 CELEBRATED ITS 38TH BIRTHDAY ON JANUARY 25, 2011.CLASSICAL MUSIC IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE PITTSBURGH RADIO MARKET, ATTRACTING FEWER LISTENERS OVER AGE 75 AND MORE YOUNGER LISTENERS. IN FACT, 78% OF LISTENERS ARE UNDER AGE 65. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT 53% OF LISTENERS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE 35 - 64 AGE GROUP, ALWAYS A PRIME TARGET FOR UNDERWRITERS. MOST SURPRISINGLY, 25% OF LISTENERS ARE UNDER 35 AND 17% ARE UNDER 25 YEARS OF AGE.THE LOYALTY OF WQED-FM'S CORE AUDIENCE (HEAVY LISTENERS) ON SUNDAYS IS STRONGER THAN THAT OF MOST PUBLIC RADIO MUSIC AUDIENCES. WQED-FM IS FAR AHEAD OF MOST STATIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY IN CORE AUDIENCE TUNE-INS. HEAVY LISTENERS TUNE-IN MORE THAN 18 TIMES PER WEEK VS. THE AVERAGE 14 TIMES. THAT'S MORE THAN TWICE A DAY. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE CORE LISTENERS VALUE THE PROGRAMMING MORE AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUPPORT THE STATION. PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY RADIO HAS BEEN A STAPLE OF OUR NATIONAL RADIO PROGRAMMING LINEUP FOR ALMOST THREE DECADES. IT IS HEARD ON 105 STATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IN FIVE OF THE TOP TEN MARKETS, INCLUDING HOUSTON (#6); ATLANTA (#7); PHILADELPHIA (#8); WASHINGTON (#9); AND BOSTON (#10). PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY RADIO IS ALSO HEARD IN TORONTO AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO THROUGH WNED IN BUFFALO. IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT THE SERIES IS HEARD IN BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA AND CLEVELAND (#29) BECAUSE OF THE TOP ARTISTIC STATUS OF THOSE CITIES' ORCHESTRAS.IQ: SMARTMEDIAWQED'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND ITS IQ: SMARTMEDIA INITIATIVE HAVE KEPT UP A BREAKNECK PACE SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2010.IQ: SMARTMEDIA EDUCATION E-NEWSLETTER (MONTHLY AND FOR SPECIAL EVENTS) REACHES 40,000 MEMBERS AND AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 TEACHERS STATEWIDE. WQED HAS 24 "SUPER TEACHERS" AT THE ALLEGHENY INTERMEDIATE UNIT 3 (PRE-K THROUGH K) WHO ARE INCORPORATING PBS CURRICULUM AND THEN GOING TO TRAIN OTHERS IN THAT CURRICULUM OVER THE COURSE OF THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR. IQ SMARTMEDIA PREMIERED THE NEW PBS LEARNING MEDIA AS AN ADDITIONAL RESOURCE FOR EDUCATORS. WQED'S WORK WITH "ASSET" IS STILL IN PRODUCTION AND THREE OF NINE VIDEOS ARE FINAL AND AWAITING A NEW SCHOOL YEAR. IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, AN ALLIANCE WITH "ASSET" HAS THE POTENTIAL TO YEARLY SERVE 8,000+ TEACHERS THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA WITH PBS CONTENT, SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS INCLUDING SCIENCE AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS CUSTOMIZED K THROUGH 8 TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT VIDEOS IN INQUIRY, SCIENCE, DATA COMPILATION AND INTERPRETATION, MATH, AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. WQED'S STORIES ON THE MOVE LITERACY PROJECT PARTICIPATED IN TEN TITLE ONE SCHOOL DISTRICTS SERVING MORE THAN 1,400 STUDENTS BY PROVIDING MONTHLY READING ACTIVITIES, CALENDARS, BOOKS, PBS MATERIALS AND STORY TIMES FOR AT-RISK K AND 1ST GRADE STUDENTS. DESIGN LIVES HERE TRIPLED IN SIZE THIS YEAR, SERVING MORE THAN 200 6TH THROUGH 11TH GRADE STUDENTS WITH INTENSIVE STUDY OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SKILLS OVER A FIVE MONTH PERIOD.IQ ZOO IS AN INNOVATIVE NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WQED MULTIMEDIA, THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & PPG AQUARIUM AND PBS KIDS GO! TO EDUCATE CHILDREN ABOUT ANIMALS, HABITATS, AND CAREERS USING ENGAGING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT, BOTH AT THE ZOO AND ONLINE. ZOO VISITORS USE THEIR SMARTPHONE TO ACCESS IQ ZOO AT 15 ANIMAL EXHIBITS IN THE AFRICAN SAVANNA, TROPICAL FOREST, AND WATER'S EDGE. FAVORITE ANIMALS CAN BE SAVED TO MYZOO BY USING THE FREE PBS KIDS LOGIN AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE TO GET STARTED. ADDITIONAL CONTENT IS AVAILABLE AT IQZOO.ORG FOR EVEN MORE GREAT VIDEOS, GAMES, AND CONTENT FROM WQED AND PBS KIDS GO!IQ ZOO ENHANCES THE ZOO EXPERIENCE BY CONNECTING KIDS TO RELEVANT PBS KIDS GO CONTENT ABOUT THE ANIMALS AND EXHIBITIONS THEY ARE VIEWING - ON DEMAND AND IN REAL TIME. VISITORS SCAN A QR CODE (QUICK RESPONSE CODE) AT AN EXHIBIT FOR VIDEOS, AUDIO CLIPS, ACTIVITIES, GAMES, AND MORE, ALL AVAILABLE ON THEIR SMART PHONE. CHILDREN ALSO HAVE A CHANCE TO EXPLORE AN ONLINE ZOO AND LEARN ABOUT HABITATS AND ANIMALS THROUGH MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES. IQ ZOO WILL CREATE MORE ENGAGEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ANIMALS, HABITATS, ANIMAL BEHAVIOR AND ISSUES OF PRESERVATION. IN ADDITION, THIS PROGRAM INTRODUCES YOUNG CHILDREN TO NEW TECHNOLOGY TOOLS AND INCREASES POSITIVE, EDUCATIONAL MEDIA INCLUSION IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.USING THE MODEL DEVELOPED AT WQED, EXPECT TO SEE SIMILAR DISPLAYS AT OTHER ZOOS SOON. IT'S A VERY EXCITING PROJECT, AND ONE THAT ENHANCES THE ZOO EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE WHILE MAKING PBS CONTENT AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR FREE.WQED INTERACTIVEWQED INTERACTIVE IS WQED'S MEDIA PORTAL TO THE WORLD. FROM THIS PORTAL, MEMBERS, VIEWERS, LISTENERS, EDUCATORS AND THE WHOLE COMMUNITY CAN ACCESS ALL THINGS WQED, INCLUDING MORE THAN 1,500 HOURS OF PROGRAMMING.
