Leadership Circletm1.jpg)  In an ever changing world when news happens around the globe 24/7 isn’t it reassuring to know that there is one place in America where you can get complete, unbiased and timely coverage? That place is public radio and in San Diego that is KPBS-FM. We can provide this extraordinary level of public service through a unique partnership with National Public Radio. KPBS-FM’s audience continues to grow with a weekly cumulative audience of 233,800 according to the spring 2006 Arbitron data. This makes KPBS-FM the most listened to news station among adults over age 45 during morning drive time. KPBS-FM is the #1 station Saturday and Sunday mornings/middays. These numbers prove that San Diegans are hungry for the kind of intelligent journalism that we provide from a combination of local and national sources. NPR, founded in 1970, has become a dominant intellectual force in American life and a primary source of news for millions. Published reports cite NPR's flagship newsmagazines Morning Edition and All Things Considered as the 2nd and 3rd most listened-to national radio programs in the U.S. The two programs rank 1 and 2 in number of listeners on public radio. Morning Edition is the most listened-to morning radio program in the country. These two programs are also the most listened to programs on KPBS-FM. In fact, NPR is our single largest source of programming on KPBS-FM. What makes this partnership unique is what each partner brings to the table. NPR brings national and international coverage and KPBS provides local perspective and reporting on issues and events in and around the San Diego region. Only through this partnership are we able to provide you with the most comprehensive broadcast journalism in the country. As with most endeavors this partnership requires constant funding to maintain and expand the level of service that is expected of us. To this end KPBS has created the KPBS-NPR Leadership Circle. This first in the nation joint fundraising initiative between a local station and NPR is designed to provide our most devoted listeners the opportunity to support this valuable partnership and to be rewarded with a host of unique benefits. Your gift of $15,000, or more, will provide you entry into this prestigious group of KPBS donors. $5,000 of your gift will be sent to NPR securing you a position in the NPR President’s Council. The following sheet provides a complete list of benefits associated with this dual KPBS – NPR membership. With 36 NPR news bureaus and offices throughout the U.S. and around the world and with the largest radio news department in San Diego, KPBS keeps you informed about the ever changing world around us.
