How is this different from the recent Audience Service Challenge grants or the Blueprint Project?
The Station Renewal Project, like its predecessors, focuses on improving station performance but also differs in several ways: by requiring the investment and commitment of not only the station’s General Manager, but also of the station’s governing body or parent institution (Board of Directors, university officials, etc.); by including an organizational development professional on the assessment team; by abandoning the blanket assumption that what works at one station will work at any other station; and (perhaps most importantly) by making larger investments than those contemplated in the ASC grant program.
