Dear NFCB Members,

 

I'm delighted to let you know that the NFCB Board has hired Maxie
Jackson as the new President and CEO of NFCB. He will begin in January
and we will both be working that month to ensure a smooth transition. I
will be retiring at the end of January.

 

Maxie brings great experience in public media to NFCB. He comes to us
from WNYC (the New York City Public Radio station) where he developed
and launched the Takeaway, a morning program targeting a younger more
diverse audience than Morning Edition. He has also been working on other
initiatives at the station that would also appeal to that audience.
Before WNYC, Maxie was the Program Director for WETA in Washington DC
when the station was doing world news and more targeted service to the
local Washington DC audience. He was the acting Manager at WEAA in
Baltimore and has a masters degree in Multi-channel Management from
Michigan State University, East Lansing which dealt was the convergence
and management of cable, telephony and broadcast with an emphasis on
policy, economics, research and technology.

 

I believe that Maxie will be a great asset to NFCB and you, our members.
His commitment and experience around diversity and community engagement
are in alignment with our values and he is already well-known and
respected on the national level of public media. He has worked in
commercial and noncommercial media and has served on many public media
boards and advisory committees. He plans to lead NFCB with deep passion,
mission integrity, and a commitment to excellence. 

 

I hope you will join me in welcoming Maxie to NFCB. I will post the
press release that we will be sending out later today to the listserv.

NFCB Announces New President/CEO: Maxie Jackson

 

 

 

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) today announced
that its new President and CEO will be Maxie C. Jackson III.  Jackson
will replace Carol Pierson who is retiring after serving for 12 years in
that role. He will begin January 2010. 

 

Jackson is currently the Senior Director Program Development of New York
Public Radio (WNYC) where he has been involved in strategic planning for
national and local programming, outreach and audience development
efforts, and new media and marketing initiatives.  He was intimately
involved in the launch of The Takeaway, a CPB-funded effort to create a
national morning drive program that would attract and actively engage
audiences of color.

 

Before joining WNYC, Jackson served as radio program director for WETA
(Washington, DC) and acting general manager of WEAA (Baltimore).  

 

He is currently a member of the board of directors for The Development
Exchange, Inc., the executive board of Eastern Region Public Media, the
Maker's Quest 2.0 Talent Committee of The Association of Independents in
Radio, and the Program Director Advisory Group of Public Radio
International.  He served on the executive board of the African American
Public Radio Consortium.

 

NFCB Board Chair Deb Benedict, executive director of WTIP (Grand Marais,
MN), said, "The NFCB board is very much looking forward to working with
NFCB's new leader.  Carol Pierson and the other staff have brought NFCB
to a place of financial stability and national recognition.  We think
Maxie will take us to the next level and beyond.  His vision and goals
are in alignment with ours and he has an energy and passion for
community media that is breathtaking.  We are excited to begin this new
era for NFCB and community radio."

 

"My selection as CEO and president of NFCB is a high point in my
professional development," said Jackson.  "I have many individuals and
institutions to thank for preparing me for this moment.  I plan to lead
NFCB with the deep passion, mission integrity, and commitment to
excellence I have brought to every opportunity I've been afforded.  What
makes this opportunity so exciting for me is my intimate belief in the
values of community engagement, authentic multiculturalism and public
service."

 

Carol Pierson, retiring president and CEO said, "I'm delight to have
someone assuming the reins at NFCB who has such an extraordinary
background and commitment to diversity, localism and community
engagement. His experience will further the work NFCB has done with
Native Public Media and the Latino Public Radio Consortium to create a
truly diverse and representative public media system." 

 

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters is an alliance of
stations, producers, and others committed to community radio.  NFCB
advocates for national public policy, funding, recognition, and
resources on behalf of its membership, while providing services to
empower and strengthen community broadcasters through the core values of
localism, diversity and public service.

Hi Carol and thanks for sharing this great news. You have left the membership in a pair of great hands in the form of Maxie. I know that everyone at KBCS is thrilled with this choice and look forward to working with Maxie next year and beyond.

Please accept my personal thanks for the outstanding work you've done on behalf of stations like KBCS. As someone who has worked with NFCB for nearly 20 years (!) you are leaving this organization in better shape than you found it. And that's really a testament to your leadership. Thank you-
Steve Ramsey

Importance: High

Dear NFCB Members,

I'm delighted to let you know that the NFCB Board has hired Maxie Jackson as the new President and CEO of NFCB. He will begin in January and we will both be working that month to ensure a smooth transition. I will be retiring at the end of January.

Maxie brings great experience in public media to NFCB. He comes to us from WNYC (the New York City Public Radio station) where he developed and launched the Takeaway, a morning program targeting a younger more diverse audience than Morning Edition. He has also been working on other initiatives at the station that would also appeal to that audience. Before WNYC, Maxie was the Program Director for WETA in Washington DC when the station was doing world news and more targeted service to the local Washington DC audience. He was the acting Manager at WEAA in Baltimore and has a masters degree in Multi-channel Management from Michigan State University, East Lansing which dealt was the convergence and management of cable, telephony and broadcast with an emphasis on policy, economics, research and technology.

I believe that Maxie will be a great asset to NFCB and you, our members. His commitment and experience around diversity and community engagement are in alignment with our values and he is already well-known and respected on the national level of public media. He has worked in commercial and noncommercial media and has served on many public media boards and advisory committees. He plans to lead NFCB with deep passion, mission integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

I hope you will join me in welcoming Maxie to NFCB. I will post the press release that we will be sending out later today to the listserv.

Fantastic news, congratulations NFCB, Carol, and Maxie!

Here at PRX we've gotten to know Maxie well over the past several
years, and he served as one of the judges and advisors on the Public
Radio Talent Quest among his many other creative ventures. He has an
expansive vision for public media and an instinct for cultivating new
voices and collaborative projects.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

WCFA-LP is owned by a non-profit arts group. Fundraising and underwriting falls under the Development Director of that parent. 

We rely on underwriting (which is handled through three sales representatives, all part-time), one major fund annual fundraiser (a community dinner and auction) which is run by the Development Director and some grant funding (we received a small grant from a local family foundation and some public school funding for kid's programming.

For Immediate Release
Contact:  Jessica Rand

      510-451-8200

 

 

NFCB Announces New President/CEO: Maxie Jackson

 

 

 

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) today announced
that its new President and CEO will be Maxie C. Jackson III.  Jackson
will replace Carol Pierson who is retiring after serving for 12 years in
that role. He will begin January 2010. 

 

Jackson is currently the Senior Director Program Development of New York
Public Radio (WNYC) where he has been involved in strategic planning for
national and local programming, outreach and audience development
efforts, and new media and marketing initiatives.  He was intimately
involved in the launch of The Takeaway, a CPB-funded effort to create a
national morning drive program that would attract and actively engage
audiences of color.

 

Before joining WNYC, Jackson served as radio program director for WETA
(Washington, DC) and acting general manager of WEAA (Baltimore).  

 

He is currently a member of the board of directors for The Development
Exchange, Inc., the executive board of Eastern Region Public Media, the
Maker's Quest 2.0 Talent Committee of The Association of Independents in
Radio, and the Program Director Advisory Group of Public Radio
International.  He served on the executive board of the African American
Public Radio Consortium.

 

NFCB Board Chair Deb Benedict, executive director of WTIP (Grand Marais,
MN), said, "The NFCB board is very much looking forward to working with
NFCB's new leader.  Carol Pierson and the other staff have brought NFCB
to a place of financial stability and national recognition.  We think
Maxie will take us to the next level and beyond.  His vision and goals
are in alignment with ours and he has an energy and passion for
community media that is breathtaking.  We are excited to begin this new
era for NFCB and community radio."

 

"My selection as CEO and president of NFCB is a high point in my
professional development," said Jackson.  "I have many individuals and
institutions to thank for preparing me for this moment.  I plan to lead
NFCB with the deep passion, mission integrity, and commitment to
excellence I have brought to every opportunity I've been afforded.  What
makes this opportunity so exciting for me is my intimate belief in the
values of community engagement, authentic multiculturalism and public
service."

 

Carol Pierson, retiring president and CEO said, "I'm delight to have
someone assuming the reins at NFCB who has such an extraordinary
background and commitment to diversity, localism and community
engagement. His experience will further the work NFCB has done with
Native Public Media and the Latino Public Radio Consortium to create a
truly diverse and representative public media system." 

 

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters is an alliance of
stations, producers, and others committed to community radio.  NFCB
advocates for national public policy, funding, recognition, and
resources on behalf of its membership, while providing services to
empower and strengthen community broadcasters through the core values of
localism, diversity and public service.

Ok...at WMNF, we keep the same copy standards for nonprofits as for for
profits.

That said, the event name for this nonprofit is both qualitative and an
inducement. 

I can get away with cut and dry descriptions of what is being sold at
this benefit for this nonprofit...but what to do about the name of the
event?

 

I'll rename it for the sake of anonynmity...but this is pretty much what
the event name is....

Message-ID: <C802F106924146DEB1836DD6ADAE5560@David>

We have three OnAir pledge drives a year, and two mailings, one of which is connected to the summer fundraiser.  A number of people pledge in one drive and then make further contributions as the year goes on.  At present, all our responses are the same: thank you note with pledge card, etc. in the mail.   As a result, people end up with several pledge cards.  We are looking for some system to tag people at the date of their original pledge, and to identify their subsequent contributions as, in fact, subsequent.  This is complicated by the fact that people sometimes take out sustaining memberships ($144 a year) with different show in different pledge periods.  But, even so, they may need a "thank you" but they don't need any more cards or kitchen magnets, etc.  Does anyone have a system that easily tracks all this?

Greetings Community Radio friends,

As a producer working with Thousand Kites and Calls from Home, I  
wanted to invite you all to consider broadcasting this compelling  
radio program, the 10th
annual ?Calls from Home? holiday program, which brings hundreds of  
voices to the 2.4 million prisoners in our Nation?s prisons. Each week  
Thousand Kites offers friends, family and loved ones the chance to  
send shout outs over the airwaves to people who are incarcerated in  
our region on their on the weekly WMMT program, Holler to the Hood.  
For the past ten years Calls from Home has offered a chance for  
holiday greetings to go out nationwide on radio stations like yours to  
people in prison.

Listen to a sample of the show here: http://www.callsfromhome.org

The 10th annual national radio program Calls from Home will feature
phone calls from mothers and children, brothers and grandparents,
sharing the intimate power of families speaking directly to their
incarcerated loved ones.

Calls from Home is produced in the coalfields of central Appalachia,  
at it's home station - WMMT
and reaches a national network of prisoners, their loved ones and
listeners through community radio in an effort to educate the public
about the criminal justice system.

This highly interactive program allows your listeners to call in a
holiday greeting to our toll-free line and record a message on our
answering machine for re-broadcast.  Last year?s program was heard on
over 140 radio stations.

Listeners can call our toll-free line and record their call from Nov.
23 to Dec. 7th at 877-518-0606.

- Calls from Home is free and will be available for re-broadcast on  
December 8th.

- PSAs and promos are available.
- Our outreach team will notify prisoner family groups of your  
station?s participation.
- Sign up on our website today.

DIVORCE IN AMERICA
People and perspectives

Divorced Kid (Sasha Aslanian | 00:54:00)
Award-winning producer Sasha Aslanian explores the "divorce
revolution" of the 1970s from the perspective of kids who lived
through it and experts who have had three decades to make sense of it.
The program debuted on Minnesota Public Radio and received tons of
listener calls from those who wanted to contribute their own stories,
and has already received positive feedback on PRX.
http://www.prx.org/pieces/41212

Recession Complicates Divorce for Some Couples (Tina Antolini | 00:05:02)
Hear from a Massachusetts couple and a divorce lawyer about how the
recession has changed the ways people handle divorce, from selling the
house to figuring out child support wages.
http://www.prx.org/pieces/39293

Doing a call-in show about divorce? Want more unique perspectives?
Hear from youth and adults, gay and straight couples, and others in
our Editors' Picks playlist:

GRAB YOUR FAKE ANTLERS
It's time for holiday radio

Christmas Mashup (Hearing Voices | 00:53:57)
A mix of holiday stories, found sound, and sampled songs: a
bell-ringer at the Mall of America, holiday history as told by
second-graders, a trip to the toy store, and carols sung by Zulu
children in a South African orphanage.
http://www.prx.org/pieces/31722

Men Bearing Gifts/Hallelujah (CBC | 00:51:16)
Two perfect-for-the-season documentaries. The first, "Men Bearing
Gifts," rips the wrapping off a hushed-up reality of Christmas. Then,
get ready to feel good with Hallelujah People ? a tribute to the word
Hallelujah and the music it has inspired.

The document has the following statement:

(Noncommercial broadcasters have a special rate set under the review of the Copyright Royalty Board, and thus are not subject to these deals) 

 

So it would seem this only applies to commercial radio.  

This negotiation anniversary, along with the Performance Rights payments scheme, along with the SoundExchange charges,  apparently point to a day (soon) when the major recording labels will only allow playing music on their own websites or on broadcast stations they own (since they could pay themselves the fees, basically from one pocket to another, which gives them a monopoly control of the music from the composing to the performance to the recording sales).

It doesn't apply to noncommercial stations. Stations that are receiving
Community Service Grants (CSG's) from CPB have all of their royalty fees
paid by CPB (although you must register for the SoundExchange deal). CPB
is currently in negotiations to continue their deals with ASCAP BMI and
SESAC.

 

Also, just to let you know, NFCB is working with the other public radio
organizations to do something to fix the content restrictions that apply
to streaming your signal. More on that soon (hopefully).

Subject: [NFCB] Prometheus is Hiring a Technical and Training Organizer
Message-ID: <4B06F32F.7060309@prometheusradio.org>

Hello Everybody,
The beloved Andy Gunn has moved on from Prometheus and we are now in 
search of a wonderful radio engineer who can provide technical support 
and training to LPFM stations across the country as well as assist 
organizations interested in applying for stations as well as organizing 
Radio Barnraisings.  Please pass this on to anyone you think might be 
interested in working with the most dynamic LPFM focused radio 
organization in the country.
Thanks,
Andalusia

JOB ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Prometheus Radio Project is looking for a Technical and Training 
Organizer to join our staff! <http://prometheusradio.org/content/view/896/>

The Prometheus Radio Project is an organization that builds 
participatory radio as a tool for social justice organizing and a voice 
for community expression. To that end, we demystify media policy and 
technology, advocate for a more just media system, and help grassroots 
organizations build communications infrastructure to strengthen their 
communities and movements.

We collaborate with community groups who want a locally accountable 
voice in the media, including a civil rights organization in Louisiana, 
farmworker activists in Oregon, and environmentalists on the Chesapeake 
Bay. Working in Congress and the FCC, we advocate for policies that 
support community-controlled radio. Meanwhile, we arm community groups 
with the skills they need to build and control their own media and 
maintain thriving participatory radio stations. This is the job of the 
Technical and Training Organizer--putting radio technology in people?s 
hands!

For more information about our work, please visit our website at 
prometheusradio.org


Position Description
The Technical and Training Organizer will work in conjunction with our 
Station Support Coordinator and Community Radio Organizer to provide 
engineering and station construction support to new and existing 
participatory radio stations. Candidates must be self-motivated and 
capable of working in collaborative settings with volunteers, interns 
and other staff.

The demystification of radio technologies and FCC processes is central 
to Prometheus?s work. Therefore, we are looking for a person who is a 
both a skilled technician and an enthusiastic trainer. This organizer is 
expected to create an environment where people who are new to radio can 
enjoy learning through collaboration and skill-sharing. This is an 
exciting position for someone who values sharing knowledge, thinking 
big, and building stuff.

Required skills
> Minimum two years of experience in radio (public, college, community 
or commercial).
> Commitment to media access and justice.
> Experience training and guiding non-technical people on technical 
projects.
> Experience explaining complex or technical issues in clear ways 
through a variety of formats ? in-person presentations, phone, and email 
support.
> Experience with:
* Audio engineering - studios, recording, acoustics, etc.
* FCC rules and regulations, especially in regards to LPFM and NCE stations
* FM station applications - allocations engineering software experience 
is a definite plus
* RF engineering - transmitters, antennas, transmission line, etc.
* Electronics work and soldering
* Studio transmitter links
* IP Audio
* Internet audio streaming
* Contracting and project management
Preferred Skills/Experience:
> Experience with community organizing or social justice work
> Management experience
> SBE or comparable certification
> Proficiency in Spanish

We are looking for the right person, not the perfect engineer. Please be 
advised that we are in need of someone experienced in radio engineering, 
with a history of involvement in social and economic justice work and a 
desire to share their knowledge with others. An invitation to interview 
with us will be extended primarily on this basis.

Office Environment
The Prometheus office is a collective working environment with a 
consensus based decision-making structure. Candidates for this position 
should be prepared to engage with and take on responsibilities related 
to collective our processes, including shared day-to-day office 
maintenance tasks, collaborative event facilitation and group 
organization-building activities.

Salary, Location and Application Info
This is a full-time, salaried staff position. All full-time staff at 
Prometheus currently earn the same annual salary of $24,000 and receive 
medical benefits. We are exploring a salary increase based on projected 
income. Our office is located in West Philadelphia, in the community 
center basement of the Calvary Methodist Church. Be ready to smell 
delicious cooking, hear the shouts of children learning martial arts, 
people singing gospel, or holding a self-help meeting. We are seeking 
someone willing to work in Philadelphia and able to make a two-year 
commitment to the organization; however we are open to alternative 
proposals. Since we are expecting a future LPFM window, we expect this 
position will involve some travel throughout the US helping to construct 
radio stations.

The Prometheus Radio Project respects and values people of all 
backgrounds and considers applicants for positions without regard to 
race, color, sex, religion, creed, gender identity and expression, 
national origin, age, disability, marital or veteran status, sexual 
orientation, or any legally protected status. As we work in 
collaboration with many communities that have been marginalized from 
media access, we also hope to employ members of these communities at the 
Prometheus Radio Project.

To apply, please send a cover letter and resume, and up to three 
relevant writing samples to jobs at prometheusradio.org. Applicants may 
also send questions to this address. Please be sure to include 
"Technical and Training Organizer" in the subject line. The application 
deadline is Sunday, January 3, 2009 at 11:59 PM EST. First round 
interviews will be scheduled for the week of January 11-15. We will keep 
this call open until we feel we have found the right person for the 
position.

"Radio is one sided when it should be two. It is purely an apparatus for distribution, for mere sharing out.  So here is a positive suggestion: change this apparatus over from distribution to communication.  The radio would be the finest possible communication apparatus in public life, a vast network of pipes. That is to say, it would be if it knew how to receive as well as transmit, how to let the listener speak as well as hear, how to bring someone into a relationship instead of isolating them."

I believe this article is about the fees paid for BROADCAST rights, not webcasting.

The fees that stations have covered by CPB, if they receive a CSG from CPB, only apply to webcasting fees, IIRC.  They don't apply to broadcasting on AM/FM.

Regardless, the issue described in the article, as was mentioned, does not apply to non-commercial/education licensed radio stations, so presumably nobody on this listserv is affected.  At least not right now...a similar problem could conceivably bite us all in the future, I suppose.
