LPB MISSION STATEMENT

To air programming that is intelligent, informative and entertaining and challenges theviewer to explore new ideas and views. To produce Louisiana programming that showcases

the state’s rich history, explores the issues that are important to people of the state andprofiles the people and places that make Louisiana such a unique place to live.

This was a year filled with elections…both national and local, and this wasa year that Louisiana Public Broadcasting expanded our role as a forum fordeliberative democracy. We staged a traditional debate with our partner,the Council for a Better Louisiana (CABL), for the U.S. Senate race andfollowed the campaigns in all the races on Louisiana: The State We’re In.We also explored difficult issues and complex topics with average citizens inour new monthly series Louisiana Public Square. Each month, LSU’s PublicPolicy Research Lab at the Manship School of Mass Communication’s ReillyCenter for Media & Public Affairs selects citizens who reflect our communityto join together in a conversation about topics as diverse as education,property taxes, roads, and religion and government. Civil and thoughtfuldialogue is needed in our state and country and LPB is the only place allLouisianians can come together to have that conversation.

We also come together to celebrate our unique history and culture. This year, our Louisiana: A History serieswas honored with a duPont Columbia Award, one of the highest national honors a documentary can earn.We applaud our home-grown talented production team.

National audiences will also get a chance to see another extraordinary documentary in 2005—Signpost toFreedom: The 1953 Baton Rouge Bus Boycott. This documentary premiered November 4 on the campus ofSouthern University and the following week throughout the state. This heretofore untold story highlights thecourage and convictions of Civil Rights trailblazers in our community. Tackling difficult topics such as asbestoslitigation and childhood obesity showed that public broadcasting stands out in the current electronicenvironment as a source for serious subject matter.

This year, we expanded our role as the state’s educational television network by providing the freeunitedstreaming Internet service to more than 21,000 teachers. Teachers have now viewed theunitedstreaming website more than 1,000,000 times since LPB began providing this service in the summer of2003, taking advantage of the more than 21,000 videos available through unitedstreaming. This is the LPByou don’t see over the air, but it is part of our core mission to use new technology to make a difference in thelives of our citizens.

Another major accomplishment in 2004 was the completion of our $23 million digital conversion. This shouldmean you will be able to receive crystal clear pictures and multiple LPB channels in the coming years.

In 2005, we hope to travel the state telling the wonderful stories of the unique people and places in Louisiana.LPB turns 30 this year, but we promise you can trust us to bring highest quality programs we can acquire,commission or produce. It’s been a wonderful year and we believe there will be many more to come.

STATEMENT FROM LPB PRESIDENT/CEO BETH COURTNEY

2 LPB ANNUAL REPORT 2004

DIG I TAL UPDATE

2004 was an exciting year for LPB as we completed our digital transition with the sign-on of our digitalstations in Lake Charles and Monroe in late summer. LPB was the first digital station in the state when WLPB-DT25 signed on in September of 2000. The additions of KLTM-DT- 19 in Monroe and KLTL-DT 20 in LakeCharles means that viewers in all six markets served by LPB in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas can nowreceive our digital transmissions as well as our regular analog signal.

Digital viewers currently receive three channels on our digital feeds. LPB Digital Channel 1 is our regularbroadcast signal. Channel 3 is LPB High Definition which runs PBS HD 24 hours a day, seven days a weekwhile Channel 5 is LPB Kids and YOU, the combination of public affairs, how-to shows and PBS Kids thathas been airing in Baton Rouge on Cable Channel 11.

This new technology allows LPB to expand our broadcast capabilities to as many as five multi-cast channelsin the future. Our digital signal has four times more pixels than our regular analog signal and CD qualityaudio.

The fact that LPB has its own statewide satellite network allows the network to expand its non-broadcastservices. LPB worked closely with the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters to create an Amber Alert Systemin the state. Each LPB transmitter relays the Amber Alert messages originated by WFMF radio in BatonRouge to receivers at local radio and television stations around the state. LPB provides this service by usingan extra audio channel that is available on LPB's statewide satellite network.

LPB, the Louisiana Cable Telecommunications Association (LCTA) and the Louisiana Legislature also joinedforces to provide four hours of live weekday coverage of the Louisiana Legislature’s Regular Session throughLaTV. The coverage is produced by the Legislature and sent through LPB's satellite to cable systemsthroughout the state.

PRODUCT ION

By the People - January 2004

Governor Blanco answers questions about education during anepisode of LPB’s new monthly show Louisiana Public Square.

In the election year of 2004, LPB tried to provide programmingthat helped viewers understand both local and national issues.It started in January when LPB joined with McNeil LehrerProductions for its By the People project. Baton Rouge wasone of 10 communities around the national that gatheredaverage citizens together to discuss national security and theeconomy. The participants were briefed with a backgroundvideo on the subject, broke into small groups to discuss theissues and formulated questions for a panel of experts on thesubjects. Highlights from the discussion were made into aspecial called America in the World: A Baton RougePerspective and Louisiana participants were also featured onthe national By The People special. A second discussion calledDay of Deliberation was held October 16 at LPB. Thanks toour partners The Advocate; the Council for a Better Louisiana(CABL); League of Women Voters, Baton Rouge Chapter;WRKF-FM; KRVS-FM and The Reilly Center for Media & PublicAffairs at the Manship School for Mass Communications atLSU.

After seeing how well the deliberative discussion methodworked, LPB created its own monthly show called LouisianaPublic Square to discuss statewide issues such as job creation,healthcare, property taxes, education and transportation withGovernor Kathleen Blanco and other state and local officials.LPB President/CEO Beth Courtney and former CNN anchorand reporter Charles Zewe host the show which airs the third

Wednesday of every month. One interesting fact about thesurveys taken before and after the events by The Reilly Centerfor Media & Public Affairs at the Manship School for MassCommunications at LSU is that a sizable percent of theparticipants tend to change their opinions after hearing thebriefing and asking questions of the experts.

In May, LPB premiered DESEGREGATION: A DREAMDELAYED, the story of the settlement of the East Baton RougeParish desegregation lawsuit, the longest-running schooldesegregation case in U.S. history. John Camp talked to allthe principals in the case and chronicled the effect this 46-year legal battle has had on the school system.

An estimated 30% of Louisiana’s children are consideredoverweight or obese. That makes them more susceptible toadult health problems such as Type II diabetes, high bloodpressures, heart attacks and certain kinds of cancer.

That’s why Louisiana Public Broadcasting joined forces withPediatrician Dr. Stewart Gordon, Psychologist Dr. DeniseSellers, Registered Dietitian Heidi Schumacher, and ExercisePhysiologist Dr. Melinda Sothern to develop a new six-partseries called Step By Step: Kids Trimming Down to giveparents the information they need to help their children leadhealthier lives. The series produced by LPB’s Dorothy Kendrickaired in October and November.


In 1953, nearly three years before the famous Montgomerybus boycott captured national attention, African-Americancitizens in Baton Rouge carried out the first large-scale busboycott in the country to protest public transportationsegregation. Until recently, this compelling story has beenrelegated to the footnotes of American civil rights history. Inan effort to bring attention to this remarkable story, LPB createda documentary called SIGNPOST TO FREEDOM: THE 1953BATON ROUGE BUS BOYCOTT that featured interviews witheminent civil rights scholars and the boycott’s primaryparticipants and witnesses. Christina Melton produced thedocumentary that was shot and edited by Keith Crews

It’s the longest-running lawsuit in American history with morethan 750,000 plaintiffs and hundreds of billions of dollars inclaims. Award-winning reporter John Camp sorted out thefacts and myths about the massive lawsuits against theproducers of asbestos products in the LPB documentary THEBREATHTAKING COST OF ASBESTOS.

Asbestos was introduced in the United States at the turn ofthe 20th century and has been used in products rangingfrom insulation to car brakes. In the 1930s it was discoveredthat prolonged exposure to asbestos could cause cancerand other respiratory problems, but the dangers wereconcealed for more than four decades by producers of thematerials.

Working with Friends of LPB, LPB also held its first LPB Art& Travel Auction in June. The live four-hour special featuredmore than 40 Louisiana artists and drew a great responsefrom the viewing public. Look for our second auction in2005.

Also in 2005, LPB will premiere two more majordocumentaries. Louisiana Radio Waves will tell the richhistory of Louisiana radio while Lindy Boggs is a biographyof the former Congresswoman and Ambassador to theVatican.

The four candidates for U.S. Senate squared off on LPB for a livedebate in October from the campus of the University of Louisianaat Lafayette. Thanks to our partners the Council for A BetterLouisiana (CABL) for helping make it happen.


EDUCAT ION

Nancy Thompson of LPB’s Educational Services Departmentdiscusses TeacherLine with school leaders from around the state.

Kathy Gora of Most Blessed Sacrament in Baton Rouge is one of21,000 teachers using LPB’s unitedstreaming service.

As we approach our 30th year on the air, LPBcontinues to search for new and innovative waysto provide resources for our state’s educators thatutilize the latest technology.

A perfect example of this is the unitedstreamingservice that provides free Internet access to morethan 2,100 videos and more than 22,000 videoclips that can be downloaded and used in lessonplans.

More than 21,000 Louisiana teachers are currentlyusing the service with more than 900,000 hitsregistered on the unitedstreaming website sincethe program’s inception in August, 2003.

Kathy Gora, a computer teacher at Most BlessedSacrament School in Baton Rouge, is now in hersecond year of using unitedstreaming at her schooland she loves it. “We haven’t found any subjectsthat don’t have some resources,” Gora said.

Teaching and Learning Technology FacilitatorBrenda Hodby believes unitedstreaming has beenan excellent tool for the teachers she works with inCentral Louisiana.

“I find it makes it easier for teachers to put a littletechnology into their classrooms,” Hodby said. “It’sa wonderful resource for teachers who are tryingto reinforce what they are teaching or to introducea concept.”

LPB’s completely redesigned website (www.lpb.org)also allows LPB to further expand its educationalservices for K-12 teachers, and college and adulteducation students.

PBS TeacherLine provides on-line professionaldevelopment courses for teachers who need to takepost-graduate work to maintain their certification.The first three courses were launched in October


LPB’s Ready To Learn Coordinator Lenora Brown reads to thechildren at the New Horizon Head Start Center in Baton Rouge.

“It is by far the singlemost effective toolI have ever usedwith my classes.”

- Annie BignerSpringfield Middle School

and using a grant from PBS, LPB continuesmarketing the courses to teachers around the state.The goal is to sign up enough teachers and parishesto make the program self-sufficient. LPB’sEducational Television and Technology personnelDot Dickinson and Nancy Thompson are leadingthe TeacherLine efforts. The parishes of Allen,Plaquemines, West Baton Rouge, and WestFeliciana have already signed up to provide thecourses for their teachers and Orleans will also bejoining that group soon. .

Another pilot project will start offering ourbroadcast college telecourses through streamingvideo on our website. This on-demand service willallow non-conventional students to take collegecredit courses when they have the time rather thanrecording them early in the morning and viewingthe tape later. For 2005, LPB is also considering

offering our GED courses through streaming videoto help students earn their high school diplomas.

Now in the development stages, LPB will eventuallyhave a portal on its website that will provide siteinformation and links to specific content on otherwebsites. A portal is a web site or service that offersa broad array of resources and services, such as e-mail, forums, search engines, and on-line shopping.

LPB is now in its tenth year of its Ready to Learnprogram. As part of this national program, Readyto Learn coordinator Lenora Brown travels aroundthe state each year conducting more than 50workshops for parents, educators and caregiverson how to use LPB programs as educational toolswith their children. Another ongoing project is FirstBook. Through this program, LPB provides thousandsof books to economically disadvantaged childrenaround the state each year.
