<strong>WMFE</strong>: Bringing the Future into Focus<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> <strong>is</strong> a <strong>prologue</strong> to a remarkable chronicle about <strong>WMFE</strong>’sjourney toward greater potential and new leadership.Two landscape-changing <strong>is</strong>sues were in my viewfinderthroughout 2005 – succession, and a new v<strong>is</strong>ion for<strong>WMFE</strong>’s future. Succession will play out in 2006; and,ideally, your additional financial support will bring the newprogram v<strong>is</strong>ion into sharp focus in 2007.First, if you are a close observer of th<strong>is</strong> and previousannual report formats, you will note a new face and titlealongside that of <strong>WMFE</strong>’s board chair. It’s a new Presidentfor <strong>WMFE</strong>!On my recommendation José A. Fajardo was unanimouslyelected by <strong>WMFE</strong>’s governing board as my successor. Hebecame President in 2006 after faithfully and successfullyadvancing <strong>WMFE</strong>’s m<strong>is</strong>sion over the previous nine yearsas a result of the many titles he held during that time. TheChief Executive Officer title stays with me for 2006, andthen we expect that title to be added to José’s in 2007when I conclude my 35-year run as <strong>WMFE</strong>’s CEO.Fittingly, the success and accompl<strong>is</strong>hments described inth<strong>is</strong> report were led internally by José, and externally byBoard Chair Joy Barrett Sabol. It’s appropriate, then, thatthey tell you about these milestones. Certainly and quickly,they will give credit to many others; yet, they have therightful standing to be your messenger!Second, 2005 brought a new v<strong>is</strong>ion for <strong>WMFE</strong>’s future.It’s a v<strong>is</strong>ion you and hundreds of other stakeholdersfocused upon as <strong>WMFE</strong> celebrated its40 th anniversary.

And, each sector exceededour budgeted goals!Members giving in amounts between $25 and $999generated $2.8 million compared to theprevious year of $2.3 million, an increaseof 11 percent.Other members giving what we call“major gifts,” $1,000 or more, gave$295,000 compared with the previous year of$262,000, an increase of 12.5 percent.Compelling programming on <strong>WMFE</strong> led to a significantgrowth of almost 4,000 more members, allowing thestations to enjoy an annual member count of 26,251,an increase of 17 percent! Due to a new renewalstrategy, renewal membership rates increased by ninepercent.Local businesses in Central Florida sponsored thebroadcast of many of the programs you watch orl<strong>is</strong>ten to on <strong>WMFE</strong>.

As an example, we intend toadvance more print ads and outdoor advert<strong>is</strong>ing,improve on-air promotion, and better utilize wmfe.org.


Focused on Quality NationalTelev<strong>is</strong>ion Programming<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> year was particularly vexing for <strong>WMFE</strong>-TV dueto fewer high-profile PBS series to attract viewers.Interestingly, while the number of <strong>WMFE</strong> membersrose, viewership declined slightly yielding a monthlyaverage of 476,750 households watching <strong>WMFE</strong>-TVduring all day-parts. However, viewing in prime time– from 8 to 11 p.m. – increased slightly.<strong>WMFE</strong>-TV broadcast severallandmark programs that reflectedyour expectation for the station toalways achieve a higher standard inour program schedule. In Octoberthe critically-acclaimed Broadway:The American Musical aired, as did anew biography of Robert F. Kennedy,American Experience: RFK. Frontlinepresented the comprehensive dual-biography TheChoice 2004 about the Democratic and Republicanpresidential candidates.In December Great Performances featured EricClapton – Crossroads Guitar Festival and MasterpieceTheatre presented a new version of the classic Bor<strong>is</strong>Pasternak story Dr. Zhivago.In January a new film by PBS’ most famousdocumentarian Ken Burns was telecast:Unforgivable Blackness: The R<strong>is</strong>e and Fallof Jack Johnson told the story of one ofthe first African-American HeavyweightChampions of the World. Johnson’sdominance over white opponents spurredfurious debates and race riots in the early20 th century.In February <strong>WMFE</strong> marked Black H<strong>is</strong>tory Monthwith the premiere of the groundbreaking Slaveryand the Making of America, which offered entirelynew perspectives and facts about slavery, and theP.O.V. documentary Ch<strong>is</strong>holm ’72 Unbought andUnbossed about the presidential candidacy of ShirleyCh<strong>is</strong>holm.Frontline’s The Soldier’s Heart received your criticalacclaim for its look at the life of returning Iraq Warveterans. And Nova provided an in-depth story ofthe catastrophic tsunami that hit Southeast Asia.We also underscored Women’s H<strong>is</strong>tory Month withnumerous programs including The Life and Times ofFrida Kahlo.Nature: Deep Jungle premiered in April,featuring remarkable, never beforeseen video from deep within jungleenvironments. Battlefield Britain used4computer animation to recreate complex battlescenes throughout Brit<strong>is</strong>h h<strong>is</strong>tory.May saw the broadcast of a film acquired from HBO,Sometimes in April, which re-told the story of thetragedy of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.Great Performances: Operatunity aired in June, andfeatured two star d<strong>is</strong>coveries as they headed fortheir debut on stage in a grand opera.July’s Guns, Germs and Steel from NationalGeographic examined the surpr<strong>is</strong>ing effects of thesethree items on the development of the entire world.In late September wepremiered a major series TheSixties: the Years that Shaped aGeneration.And, all the while, <strong>WMFE</strong>continued to be a safe harbor for children andfamilies, telecasting more than 52 hours a weekof children’s programming which you tell us aretrustworthy and parent-safe!Focusing on the Future…Knowing that PBS programming <strong>is</strong> thefoundation of <strong>WMFE</strong>’s audience, thestation will seek additional resourcesto bolster its national programmingschedule. <strong>WMFE</strong>-TV/DT will carry more nature,science and news documentaries from sourcessuch as National Geographic Society and the BBC.The rights for additional programs of Mystery!,Masterpiece Theatre and of new Brit<strong>is</strong>h comedy titleswill be purchased. And we will also invest in classicfamily movies.Sharpening our Focus on LocalTelev<strong>is</strong>ion Production andProgrammingThe capstone of <strong>WMFE</strong>’s local programming yearwas our broadcast of A V<strong>is</strong>ion for Our Future, theculmination of an extensive process of gatheringyour input to env<strong>is</strong>ionthe next five yearsfor <strong>WMFE</strong>. As partof <strong>WMFE</strong>’s 40 thanniversary project,A V<strong>is</strong>ion for Our Future was produced in a logicalway: briefly recalling where <strong>WMFE</strong> has been in itsfirst 40 years and then, rather than spending selfcongratulating time looking backward, we choseto look forward to a renewed commitment toprogramming that you and others in the communitytold <strong>WMFE</strong> <strong>is</strong> important to realize our potential.
