Audience Research Grants

The Television Rechannelization Study will recommend the necessary resources for stations to complete their analog to digital conversion and will identify for CPB the estimated funding levels required at each station to meet the conversion requirements.

This project is a technical analysis of public radio HD radio coverage problems and the loss of analog and digital coverage due to the interference caused by co- and adjacent channel HD stations.

This Request for Proposals is for a wide ranging, but rapid, assessment of public broadcasting outreach -- an assessment deep enough to help CPB make decisions about some of its FY07 investments and to lay the groundwork for a longer-term outreach/community engagement strategy for both radio and television.

As part of a wider assessment of public broadcasting outreach and community engagement efforts, and to inform future investments, CPB seeks specific information regarding the National Center for Outreach's perceived value by the public broadcasting community, as well as its overall effectiveness in meeting its own and CPB goals.

The grantee will take results of audience research that has been commissioned by CPB concerning public television audiences and provide the services required to facilitate two public broadcasting working groups in analyzing and understanding the data, and developing a plan to determine the strategic implications of the research data in order to increase the reach of public television, the frequency viewers tune to public television and the loyalty of those viewers as expressed by their desire to financially support public television.
