CONFIDENTIAL Developing a Sustainable Economic Model for Public Television May 29, 2003
PROJECT ASPIRATIONS AND KEY QUESTIONS How severe and long lasting are the financial pressures on the system? Identify and drive major changes that will put public television on a more sound economic footing and ensure its future success Which performance improvement opportunities offer the most promise? How should we launch these initiatives and effect lasting change? 1
CHALLENGES: BOTH STATION ECONOMIES AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT ARE AT-RISK 2001 Local Station Economy Current size Historical growth in revenues (1990 -2001) $1. 93 Billion 3. 5 % per year* Prospects for Decline in real terms future revenue due to falling net growth member revenues 2001 Station Assessment $107 M 2001 National Program Funding $450 Million 3. 1 % per year** 5. 4 % per year A system decision Flat to very slowly growing (1% above inflation) * Excludes capital funding for digital upgrade. Revenues not adjusted for inflation **Growth rate from 1994 -2001 Source: CPB Audited Financial Reports (AFR), PBS analysis (dues), Appendix Q from PBS SG white paper (“Funding for PBS NPS Programming by Funder Category”) 2
CHALLENGES: ONLY GROWTH AREAS ARE UNRELATED BUSINESS AND UNDERWRITING Drivers of growth Total PTV system revenue, * 1990 and 2001 $ Millions Annual Growth % $1. 88 billion 1990 -2001 94. 5 3. 8 145. 6 3. 1 259. 6 6. 6 347. 6 4. 9 330. 5 3. 3 328. 5 2. 5 $1. 25 billion University In-kind 62. 9 104. 2 Unrelated business 128. 6 Corporate and foundation giving 205. 6 Federal funding** 230. 5 State and local funding 249. 4 Member giving 273. 3 1990 374. 0 2. 9 2001 *Excludes capital funding for digital upgrade, additional capital fundraising, endowment, and interest **Federal agency grants for 2001 are estimated (assumed 5% growth over 2000) Source: AFR; federal reports; PBS annual reports 3
CHALLENGES: HISTORICALLY, THE SYSTEM HAS GROWN THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION – NOW ALL REVENUE SOURCES ARE THREATENED Future Outlook Source: AFRs; Team perspective 4
CHALLENGES: NET STATION MEMBERSHIP REVENUE HAS DECLINED IN REAL TERMS SINCE 1990 $ Millions, Adjusted for inflation to constant 2001 $ Gross revenues: 0. 1%* Fundraising costs: 1. 0% $17 million lost income Net membership revenues: -0. 9% * All growth rates are compound annual growth rates. Source: AFRs; Bureau of Labor Statistics 5
CHALLENGES: DECLINES WILL CONTINUE IN NET MEMBER SUPPORT Membership Revenue Drivers Audience Size Outlook Falling ratings likely contribute to the long term membership decline, both because the prospect pool with a connection to PTV shrinks and because membership renewal is highly correlated with audience New Member Pledge, which is the engine of new member acquisition, has seen rising costs relative to new member yield in line with declining productivity trends outside PTV Renewin g Member Net renewal revenue will not offset declining acquisition • Stations already have among the nonprofit sector’s highest renewal rates • Renewal mail’s productivity is flat to declining • Declining ratings increase stations’ challenge Philanthropic Environment With the number of nonprofits growing twice as fast as real household charitable giving, stations will be hard pressed to grow their share of members’ wallets Source: “Donor Centrics Comparison Report for Public Television, December 2000; ” DMA Factbook 2001; Giving USA 2002 6
CHALLENGES: STATION HAVE MET THESE CHALLENGES IN THE PAST BY CONTROLLING COSTS ACROSS THE BOARD Stations expense, 1990 and 2001 Percent 100% = $1. 19 billion Underwriting Program information 100% = Annual Growth Rate 1990 -2001 $1. 80 billion 7. 9 3. 3 Fundraising 3. 8 Management and general 3. 1 Broadcasting 4. 0 NPS dues and services 4. 0 Programming and production 3. 8 1990 Nearly 1/3 of station programming and production costs are concentrated in producing stations for national programming 2001 * Expenses do not include CPB or PBS overhead or CPB provided nonstation grants Source: AFR; PBS annual report, 2001 7
CHALLENGES: REVENUE DECREASES WILL PROMPT REPEATED PAINFUL COST REDUCTIONS Illustrative expense budget for an average medium/large community station 100%= $10. 7 million Other Educ. / outreach 15% revenue loss $9. 1 million Station cost-cutting scenario: • Reduce headcount by 26%, from 80 to 59 Membership • Cut local production budget by 40%, reducing annual locally produced hours from 109 to 65 Acquisition & scheduling Broadcast ops Underwriting 76 Website Prog. production • Eliminate the Program Guide 76 investment in website and education General & administrative 2001 Actual Source: SABS; interviews • Maintain or slightly decrease 2010 Illustrative 8
CHALLENGES: CAPITAL INVESTMENTS MAY FURTHER REDUCE AVAILABLE FUNDING Planned capital investments Digital Conversion Next Generation Interconnect Potential strategic investments • Only $800 million of the estimated $1. 7 billion goal has been raised • Plans are to replace current infrastructure by 2006 using CPB’s $177 million appropriation request Source: CPB; APTS Digital Clearinghouse; PBS estimates Digital Media New Services • Bringing the best of public television into a digital media world through the use of digital cable, VOD, PVRs and High Definition programming • Innovating and launching new services such as distance learning or new media services that may not generate income, at least in the near term 9
CHALLENGES: NATIONAL PROGRAMMING, LIKEWISE, FACES UNPRECENTED PRESSURES External Pressures Internal Pressures National Programming • Unprecedented changes in • Little or no growth in audience demographics and viewing environment • Increasing investment in programming and promotion from cable competitors traditional sources of revenue Responses • Rising costs and new costs (such as HD production) • Introducing new/limited series and specials to slow ratings decline • Increasing funding from CPB and PBS to cover rising per hour costs • Greater reliance on fully-funded programs • Periodic cost reduction 10
