| Desc | Chicago Public Media is a 501(c)(3)charitable organization that serves the public interest by producing and delivering diverse, compelling content of multiple viewpoints and expression. Chicago Public Media broadcasts its service on four non-commercial FM radio stations: WBEZ 91.5 FM in Chicago, WBEQ 90.7 FM in Morris, 91.7 FM (W219CD) in Elgin, Illinois; and WBEK 91.1 FM in Kankakee; via WBEZ.org, mobile apps, and podcasts; and in live events that generate conversations across our community. In addition to local programming, Chicago Public Media produces Sound Opinions, and Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me! (a co-production with NPR) for national distribution. Chicago Public Media launched a public media on-line/on-air service, Vocalo, which is broadcast on WBEW 89.5 FM in Chesterton, Indiana; on 91.1 FM (W216CL) in Chicago; online at Vocalo.org; and syndicated on multiple stations around Chicagoland.We act as the circuit that connects residents of our region to one another, to the nation and to the world in a relevant and evocative way. Through our programming, we urge our audience to recognize that they are global citizens, while also being mindful of the locality in which they reside. As such, we present stories relating to all aspects of the world, from our community bureaus located at the neighborhood level, to regional and national news programming covering all fifty states to international news and programming providing a unique perspective on world events and stories.We are a regional resource fostering full and active citizenship by creating connections and remaining present and involved broadly in community life. By interacting with our audience at the community level, we form a network of partnerships as they engage with us on stories that are relevant to them and in turn, their involvement drives our work to be deeper and more involved. We also provide an outlet and voice to those who would otherwise have none. | Desc |

| Part X, Line 2: | The Organization is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position, if any, are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Organization files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois and is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years before 2013. |
