Tom Mara speaks at Seattle Center. Photo: Suzi Pratt MessAGe fRoM tHe exeCutive diReCtoR from podcasts to events to our award-winning blog, KexP connected more people with more music—and through more mediums—than ever in 2011. Whether you listened at 90.3 fM in seattle, online, or used one of our increasing number of applications for mobile phones, that upsurge impacted what you heard. We broadcast a record-setting 572 in-studio sessions and archived each one on KexP.org within a matter of hours. our video team translated those performances into clips that generated a phenomenal number of views—florence + the Machine’s stunning 2010 in-studio alone was viewed by over two million Youtube users by year’s end. We traveled to iceland for our first-ever international live remote. our new Monday night specialty show El Sonido strengthened ties to latin music lovers, and Dr. leon Berman’s friday evening rockabilly blowout Shake the Shack celebrated its 25th anniversary. More music reaching more people also meant increased opportunities to learn from our fellow music lovers. at community events like hood-to-hood Day and our free Concerts at the Mural, during our fundraising drives, and in one-on-one meetings with donors, people shared their passion for KexP and the difference it makes in their lives. the dialogue we had with supporters was enormously helpful as we refined the vision for our new home at seattle center, and prepare for the coming capital campaign in 2013. artists and educators, libraries and teachers, museums and elected officials all shared their insights as we prepared for the work ahead. ah yes, the future. We signed a 30-year lease for the northwest rooms at seattle center with the city of seattle and a 30-year operating agreement with the university of Washington. entering into those contracts shored up our civic role in the emerald city and directs us to concentrate on being a public resource that reflects the unique character of the Pacific northwest and artists like Pickwick, shabazz Palaces, and the head and the heart. ever mindful of our financial responsibilities, KexP made the most of its resources in 2011, once again adding to our operating reserves. our revenues increased, with growth from both business support and individual donors, and our spending remained prudent. some strategic hires in the programming department allowed us to markedly increase the volume of KexP podcasts, video, and blog content. When i first heard the icelandic band of Monsters and Men in 2011 during the KexP broadcast from the iceland airwaves festival, i thought, “Wow, i feel like i’m one of the only people in the world who knows about this band … and i have to tell others about them!” KexP is entirely built on discovering and sharing new music, and that passion compels us to bring it into other people’s lives, but we don’t own that franchise exclusively. We have hundreds of thousands of listeners who share in everything we do, and almost 14,000 who, with their financial support, make it all possible. thank you for powering KexP and bringing people all over the world together with great music.
