A messAge from the generAl mAnAgerCaryn G. Mathes

Fiscal Year 2013 was an exciting and challenging time for all of us at WAMU 88.5. We saw WAMU 88.5 move to the top radio position for both the Washington, D.C. metro area and for public radio nationwide. Our core websites, wamu.org and drshow.org, had their best year ever, and we continued to attract a solid donor and underwriter base.

We faced the challenges of construction and equipment purchases that came with acquiring our new Media Center at 4401 Connecticut Avenue, NW, and we are thrilled with the results! Now home to all of our stations and services, the Media Center will help us achieve success in the years that come.

In a challenging economic year, total support grew approximately 10 percent from $20.6 million in FY2012 to $22.1 million in FY2013. Total expenses grew from $20.4 million in FY2012 to $23.3 million FY2013. The increase in spending was planned and relates to our new Media Center.

A highlight for me last year was the time I spent with donors. You gave me inspiration for WAMU 88.5’s future and reinforced just how special our public media organization is.

This is my last annual report for WAMU 88.5. As I look forward to new challenges at KUOW in Seattle, I know that I am leaving WAMU 88.5 in strong and capable hands. I am personally and professionally invested in WAMU 88.5 and I’m proud of each and every one of you—our donors, grantors, underwriters, staff, volunteers, Community Council and Development Advisory Council members, AU leadership, and especially our listeners—together, we have created an incredible public media organization.

I look forward to continued reports of greatness from WAMU 88.5. I remain, always, a champion for WAMU 88.5 and a friend to American University.

weekly showsThe Big Broadcast

Hot Jazz Saturday Night

The Big Broadcast has a special place in WAMU’s history as the longest-running program. Host Ed Walker shares his col-lection of vintage radio programs from the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s each week.

Ed Walker, the show’s host, was one of the founders of the original WAMU, the AM campus radio station that preceded WAMU 88.5. Ed was elected to the Radio Hall of Fame’s “Local or Regional - Pioneer” category in 2009.

One listener tells us, “I have particularly fond and vivid memories of our whole family listening to WAMU’s Big Broad-cast. Sometimes, when driving home af-ter a family weekend away, the children would set aside their conversation or bickering to listen.”

Since 1980, host Rob Bamberger has created a cornucopia of jazz from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s alerting listeners to where they can acquire most of the music featured on Hot Jazz Saturday Night.

Rob was the lead author of a Congressionally-mandated study on recorded sound preservation through the National Recording Preservation Board. This study was the foundation for the National Plan for Recorded Sound Preservation, which was released in 2013.

Rob has written the notes for more than two dozen CDs on a wide range of themes and performers. He also gives talks on an equally varied selection of topics.

newsOn-Air and Online

WAMU 88.5 has been building its on-air and online news team over the past two years. The results can be seen in the depth and breadth of our coverage in FY2013 and the quality with which we create stories.

HigHligHts

Suspicious Money Orders Tied to DC Lawmakers (January 18, 2013) Patrick Madden’s series about campaign finance violations focused on major restrictions on money orders that were used to fund political campaigns in Washington, D.C. As a result of this and other coverage, federal authorities continue to investigate the campaign finance corruption involving District government lawmakers. This series had a major on-air presence and was also available online.

2012 Voter GuideDuring the national and local 2012 campaign season, the digital media team created a special voter guide, giving visitors from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia a robust tool to compare candidates’ views on the major issues side-by-side. Visitors were able to see a list of races and referendums on their ballot specific to an entered address, take notes, choose the candidate of their liking, and take the information to the ballot. Approximately 400,000 people used the guide.

Yesterday’s Dropouts in D.C. (April 18, 2013) Kavitha Cardoza’s series focused on the struggles adults face long after they leave school without a diploma. She examined the national debate around education and what happens when children grow up without a diploma and try to make their way into the world. The series initially aired on WAMU 88.5, and a special section on wamu.org was created with more detailed stories, interactive maps, video and slideshows.

newsOn-Air and Online

Federal Spending and the D.C. Area (March 2013) Debate on government spending was key in the 2012 elections, but the federal government’s scope has special significance in the D.C. area, where so many residents have some tie to Uncle Sam. Informed by the Public Insight Network, Rebecca Blatt, Jonathan Wilson and Matt Laslo’s series looked at the economic, political and emotional impact of fundamental questions, such as what role should government play, and at what cost? The series was named Outstanding News Series at the CAPBA awards.

State Integrity Investigation Michael Pope, Patrick Madden and Matt Bush were local contributors to the State Integrity Investigation in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. They provided local reporting in conjunction with the larger national investigation seeking to gauge actual levels of transparency in individual state governments.

Massive Flooding on Eastern Seaboard, Ocean City Pier Destroyed (October 29, 2012) Bryan Russo’s Hurricane Sandy breaking news article updated readers on the situation from Ocean City, Md., one of the hardest-hit areas in our region.

In D.C., Three Minimum Wage Jobs Needed to Afford Two-Bedroom Apartment (March 19, 2013) WAMU 88.5 expanded its news to include digital-first coverage, reporting beyond what listeners heard. Chris Chester’s stories on local social and economic trends were among the most popular on the site, including this one about the high cost of living in Washington, D.C.

BluegrAss countryLive at 45Celebrating 45 Years of Bluegrass on WAMU

On November 2, 2012, WAMU 88.5 celebrated 45 years of bluegrass programming with a live concert at George Washington University Lisner Auditorium, featuring 2012 IBMA Entertainers of the Year The Gibson Brothers, and IBMA Hall of Fame member Del McCoury and the Del McCoury Band.

Listeners opened their wallets during our Fall Membership Campaign to show their support, setting a new record for WAMU’s Bluegrass Country with 604 donors pledging $74,928.

Then they topped themselves during the Winter Membership Campaign, with 780 donors pledging $89,000.

We’re attracting new listeners by featuring live guests who are making waves in the industry. In January 2013, Della Mae and her band visited the station to perform “Empire.” The band went on to be honored as 2013 IBMA Emerging Artists of the Year.

Danny and Ryan Paisley dropped by to join host Katy Daley in studio on February 28, 2013 to play selections from the new Danny Paisley & Southern Grass album,

WAMU’s Bluegrass Country was honored to receive two nominations during the 39th Annual SPBGMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America). Bluegrass Country was nominated as Bluegrass Radio Station of the Year, and host Katy Daley received her first nomination as Bluegrass DJ of the Year.

Our New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day show are annual traditions, featuring the top 50 songs of the year from the Bluegrass Unlimited Top 30 charts, which Lee Michael Demsey has compiled for more than 30 years, as well as our favorite guests of the year.

givingDevelopment

More than 50 percent of WAMU 88.5’s revenue comes from private donors, with an additional 10 percent from foundations. We would not exist without their support. Two of our donors shared their stories with us last year.

Navroz GandhiLeadership Circle Donor, Development Advisory Council Member“Thoughtful, honest and unique, there isn’t a day when WAMU is not playing on my radio. In a world of constant marketing and sensational headlines, from the time I wake up, to the time I sleep, I trust the journalists at NPR and WAMU to provide an insightful perspective on what’s going on around me, as well as the world in which I live.

“The station brings a level of civil discourse and exchange of ideas that not only educates me, but draws me into stories and subjects I never would have thought interesting. Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Kojo, Diane, This American Life, Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, Tell Me More, the list goes on—you’re going to have to pry my hands off that dial before I change the station!”

Carolyn EldredWAMU Volunteer“I became much more intentional in my planning so as to focus more narrowly on what I value,” Carolyn said, so in 2012 in her will, to show her appreciation for favorite programming such as The Diane Rehm Show, The Kojo Nnamdi Show, The Animal House, Car Talk and Science Friday, she established an endowed fund to support the news department by providing training for up-and-coming journalists.

In addition to attending “stuffing parties” to prepare mailings, or answering phones during on-air campaigns, Carolyn enjoys volunteering because everyone is “so nice and so smart.” She hopes her actions will inspire others and encourage listeners to join her in making a bequest to the station. She is pleased to make a difference to WAMU, both today and tomorrow.

investmentCorporate Underwriting

As a public radio station, WAMU 88.5 does not sell advertising; instead, we offer 15-second recognition spots for businesses. Approximately 40 percent of WAMU’s operating revenue comes from corporate underwriting. Our sponsors recognize the value of using our platforms to share their message.

DelCor Technology Solutions DelCor Technology Solutions is committed to helping trade associations, professional societies, unions, educational organizations and not-for-profits advance their missions and their contributions to society through the progressive, strategic application of technology.

Founded in Silver Spring, Md., in 1984, DelCor is also committed to improving the community in which its employees and clients operate. DelCor supports WAMU for its long-standing role as an impartial, community-based news source and catalyst for connecting with progress.

The Alden TheatreThe Alden is a 383-seat performing arts venue in McLean, Va., and a proud supporter of WAMU 88.5. The theatre presents international touring acts, many of which perform at the area’s big-name venues. Because of its location in a suburban community center, it wanted to increase its presence.

Underwriting support for WAMU allows the theatre to reach its ideal audience: intellectually curious, well-educated, international, high income and savvy. Through underwriting programs on WAMU, the Alden not only becomes known to potential audience members, but also communicates that it values the same things as WAMU listeners: diversity, balance and excellence.
