The Station Activities Benchmarking Study (SABS) survey collects standard financial and operational information for all public television licensees. This complete industry data should provide stations and national organizations with a tool to support decision-making, to understand performance issues, to identify improvement opportunities, and to move towards defined objectives.
All CPB-supported TV grant recipients are required to complete this survey. (Information about the Station Activity Survey will be sent to your station separately.)
Please note: the SABS survey questions refer to your station's Fiscal Year reporting period and should be consistent with your audited financial statements.
