It connects to all generations through its two digital radio channels and with the world via its robust web site (www.wmfe.org). WMFE consistently meets the needs of minority and other diverse audiences through its daily news programming, weekly Intersection program and through special public affairs presentations. WMFE is undergoing a strategic planning process that will yield a series of significant initiatives that will better connect us to the Central Florida community. The strategic planning process will involve all stakeholders including the entire station staff, board of trustees, community advisory board, and the larger community. The goal is to identify ways to strengthen community service through focus on four overlapping pillars.These four overlapping pillars are community engagement, digital expansion, local programming development, and growth of traditional and new revenue sources.One of the specific preliminary goals includes reaching out to diverse communities through staffing, board recruitment, programming, and community outreach. Another goal is to increase the number of hours of local programming produced on a weekly basis with a particular focus on distinctive journalism. Additionally we have a goal of expanding the stations online and mobile footprint to ensure that our content can be accessed by audiences whenever and wherever they want it. The overall impact of this work will include broader audience reach, broader community reach and impact, and broader philanthropic and business community support. These outcomes will be measured by audience ratings, qualitative audience data, online and mobile analytics, underwriting revenue, and philanthropic giving numbers. In FY 2013 the new WMFE President and General Manager made a commitment to a regular presence in diverse communities as a form of ascertainment and outreach. This included regular visits to events of the Hispanic, African American and Caribbean Chambers of Commerce, as well as recruiting and speaking engagements with the National Association of Black Journalists and the Central Florida Association of Black Journalists. The governance committee of the board of trustees also made considerable efforts to recruit new board members from diverse communities.WMFE continues to partner with the other public radio stations in the state through our association we collaborate on statewide underwriting buys and programming initiatives such as sharing news reports amongst the station group. In FY 13 WMFE, in association with FPBS, began a new collaboration known as the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network (FPREN). In FY 14 FPREN will strengthen the capacity of each individual station to support their communities in the event of emergencies and natural disasters. Stations will share robust reporting resources and emergency infrastructure.WMFE worked with a health advocacy organization to create a weeklong comprehensive look at the local impacts of the federal Affordable Care Act.WMFE provided on-air promotion for many community groups and their activities such as the Florida Film Festival, Orlando Ballet performances, Orlando Gay Chorus shows, the Bach Festival Society events and United Art's "ArtsFest".The WMFE Newsroom continues to regularly host college interns from a local university or school each semester, with the goal of teaching them about the radio news profession. Members of the WMFE News staff have also visited local college journalism classes to speak to students about the profession and offer reflections on their professional experience. In November 2012, WMFE hosted 2 international reporters as they covered the Presidental election for their home stations in Ethiopia and East Timor respectively. WMFE plans to broaden its outreach to a greater range of students, for example Bethune Cookman in Daytona Beach, thereby exposing aspiring journalists to experience public radio. Two new minority board members were just seated in FY 14 as a result of the new WMFE President and General Manager's commitment to a regular presence in diverse communities with regular visits to events of the Hispanic, African American and Caribbean Chambers of Commerce, as well as recruiting and speaking engagements with the National Association of Black Journalists and the Central Florida Association of Black Journalists. The governance committee of the board of trustees also made considerable efforts to recruit new board members from diverse communities. In FY 13 WMFE also signed on to participate in the Homeland Security, FEMA and NPR led pilot program to deliver emergency alerts to people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing in the Gulf states. This program will launch fully in FY 14. Our health reporter, funded in part by the Winter Park Health Foundation, enhanced the awareness of important issues of public health and urban design in Central Florida cities, problems facing veterans as they rehabilitate after serving abroad, the rollout of the affordable care act (including coverage about the Hispanic language version of the website), the impact of food and health as a component of initiatives to combat poverty in Central Florida through area charities, and tackling issues around obesity. This reporting on the Affordable Care Act and the technical problems around the insurance exchange websites from their initial opening provided a useful local context for an important national story. Our reporter also posts on the Florida statewide network for broadcast by other Florida Public Radio stations.In FY 2013 WMFE continued with in depth reporting on the George Zimmerman case, including how the town of Sanford fared under the media spotlight and how the case illustrated a wider national conversation about race and culture. WMFE reporters covered the murder trial and its aftermath with day to day bulletins for local newscasts, features and reports for NPR nationally and other statewide affiliate stations. Newsmakers were also invited to discuss the issues on Intersection. Our health reporter reported on issues of public health and urban design in Central Florida cities, problems facing veterans as they rehabilitate after serving abroad, and the rollout of the affordable care act. A particular focus of the ACA rollout covered the Hispanic language version of the website. Intersection, WMFE's weekly news and conversation program explored issues of faith, politics and culture in a multitude of diverse communities that make up Central Florida. Issues covered by the program included the need for greater emphasis on STEM education for minority students, perceptions of race and inequality in the trial of George Zimmerman, Venezuelan expatriates and their response to the elections following the death of Chavez, and the challenges facing Parramore as the city of Orlando moves to build a soccer stadium in their neighborhood. Minority neighborhoods, including Parramore, Goldsboro in Sanford, and those in other Central Florida cities will continue to be a focus for WMFE in fiscal year 2014. We aim to broaden our reach into those communities and also deepen our coverage of issues outside of the tri county area of Seminole, Orange and Osceola, tackling issues which affect listeners in Daytona Beach and other parts of WMFE's coverage area. There will be a renewed focus on politics in the upcoming year as Florida heads into a gubernatorial election and other mid-term elections. In November 2012, WMFE hosted 2 international reporters as they covered the Presidential election for their home stations in Ethiopia and East Timor respectively.WMFE broadcasts Latino USA on Saturday mornings. This radio journal of news and culture is produced from a Latino perspective.WMFE and the Growing Bolder Media Group worked together to produce weekly hour long programs on the personal and social benefits of lifelong learning and social engagement, in addition to one-minute "Lifelong Learning Minutes". Programs feature senior citizens who have not let age keep them from achieving their dreams.WMFE's current affairs programming helps students and other listeners to be more engaged and educated citizens and is available as podcasts and full text scripts on wmfe.org.WMFE's current affairs programming helps students and other listeners to be more engaged and educated citizens and is available as podcasts and full text scripts on wmfe.org. 2016478 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 120 0 1 27 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X Sherry Alexander 4072732300 11510 East Colonial Drive Orlando FL 328174699 X Jose A Fajardo 57.50 X X 282841 0 21115 Sherry Alexander non-voting 57.50 X X 92285 0 14557 Susan Arkin 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter C Barr Jr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Derek J Blakeslee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Markita D Cooper 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shirley Decker 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne E Kelly 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julia Frey 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Landman Gonzalez 1.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Henrichs 1.00 X 0 0 0 Betty Martinez Lowery 1.00 X 0 0 0 J Henry Maldonado 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Schmidt 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Showalter 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert B White Jr 1.00 X 0 0 0 375126 0 35672 1 0 1 0 0 104739 3252665 44985 3357404 116973 116973 9087 9087 142236 0 142236 142236 142236 15340 104739 11865 3475 3475 Utilities Refund 221000 352320 352320 Advertising Revenue 541800 5410 5410 Other Revenue 900099 2366 2366 360096 3989271 480746 5410 145711 X 410313 410313 814676 585283 54911 174482 40825 14791 20912 5122 86765 48455 13472 24838 82887 43432 26356 13099 26372 3249 23123 17822 17822 512118 155530 158542 198046 6912 6912 123544 123544 15857 9322 4290 2245 3240 6 3234 93722 84490 9232 72523 72523 Program Acquistion 653622 653622 Agency fees 164686 164686 Supplies & Premiums 90350 33638 7145 49567 Postage & Freight 56843 139 1584 55120 159487 96297 30005 33185 3432564 2016478 857148 558938 430917 253569 1005189 538844 32977 353932 111492 145474 1900781 957184 66946 67026 1318209 1168908 186900 149301 1182376 1942649 4917578 4407979 1217536 244757 38899 35906 116191 86911 1372626 367574 X 2482503 2659831 31839 349964 1030610 1030610 3544952 4040405 4917578 4407979 556707 -61254 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 7286489 5854655 4367450 2910160 3357404 23776158 33342 39924 15340 88606 7319831 5894579 4367450 2910160 3372744 23864764 129205 133238 87543 67044 7500 424530 0 129205 133238 87543 67044 7500 424530 23440234 115483 54857 60826 57439 126060 414665 115483 54857 60826 57439 126060 414665 6385 8050 16472 3144 360096 394147 7441699 5957486 4444748 2970743 3858900 24673576 0.95000 0.96080 0.01680 0.01690 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1056199 62260 5147 1113312 1108352 86 72639 124878 1056199 1134545 18184 44377 1108352 1129349 51516 46320 1134545 1126759 40979 38389 1129349 0.07000 0.93000 0 0 1318209 1168908 149301 149301 Cash Management Accounts 385690 F Bond Mutual Funds 403944 F Stock Mutual Funds 1153015 F 1942649 Liability under split-interest agreement 22676 Deferred compensation 64235 86911 X 4893589 -61254 953707 892453 4001136 -11865 -11865 3989271 4398136 953707 11865 965572 3432564 0 3432564 Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Part V, Line 4: The endowment funds are used to bolster the services and programming provided to WMFE's audience. Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X, Line 2: The Company is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income taxes under similar provisions of the Florida Income Tax Code. The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the Statements of Financial Position. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company's open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
