  1. Understanding the PBS Dues Formulas Round Robins – Fall 2006

  2. Key Principles • Dues formulas are based on the “ability to pay” • The NPS, MSA, and SIP assessments use a “collective” base: the total budget is split up among all participants • A “Purchase Power” factor in formulas adjusts for partial participants • CPB Data are the best available measures for comparing member stations financially • NFFS, NPF, and CSG; reporting lags carry through into formulas

  3. Member Weighting • Averaged PPF • More Sophisticated • Weighting Mechanism • Used for NPS and SIP • Average PPF uses three most • recent annual PPFs in order • to soften dramatic year-to-year • changes The Two Member Weighting Mechanisms: vs. CSG Factor Simple Proportion Used for MSA formula the individual CSG versus the sum of all CSGs

  4. The PPF The Annual PPF, or Program Pricing Factor, is a more sophisticated, nuanced member weighting FY 2007 Adjusted Budget size = 2004 NFFS(most recent figure reported to CPB) - 2003-04 NPF (matches NFFS; certified by station CFO) + 2006 CSG (one year prior) – Credit for Multiple Transmitters (in excess of 1) Population base equals the lesser of: • Grade A transmitter coverage, • 125% of Nielsen DMA, • or, state population (state networks) CSG Factor • Uses previous year’s CSG values 45% x Adjusted Budget 30% x Population Base + + 25% x CSG Factor + ***As any of these variables change year-to-year, so will your PPF – and that will, in turn, affect your NPS and SIP dues.*** = PPF
