| Local
Service Initiatives |
The need to enhance and
share good ideas about Local Services was suggested often at
the 2006 Round Robins and at other meetings before and since
then. Regardless of what the future of public
television looks like, individual stations will continue to
have a competitive advantage from residing physically within
the communities they serve and maintaining the public’s
trust in the quality and integrity of the programs and
services they provide.

Although needs of
specific licensees and specific communities differ, as do
the means and resources individual stations have to address
them, we share a common goal in our approach to local
services— that of building civic, social, and educational
capital in the communities we serve.

In 2006, the AGC
Strategic Planning Project surveyed public television
stations to understand the variety of services they offered
to their communities. The project, led by Jim
Pagliarini, found that stations generally center their local
initiatives around one or more of the
common themes
listed on the right.
