I am comfortable with the shape of the station. We are in fine shape financially and in tremendous shape programmatically. But that surplus is about 4 percent under the amount the station budgeted. Executive committee members were notified that the station will make up the budget variance by cutting operating expenses. PBS prime time rating points have slipped over the past decade from 2.5 to 2, while cable channels ratings are trending up.
Rating points measure how many households in any given market are watching a particular channel.
In March, the station ranked first in prime time gross rating points of public television stations in the country, an 8 percent growth over the previous year. In St. Louis, each rating pointing represents about 11,000 households, with typical households having 2.7 people. That said, to us brand is very important, and we are working with producers to have more exclusivity with our signature series.
