Who We Are

The Station Resource Group is an alliance of public media institutions that operate most dynamic, innovative, and successful public radio stations and joint licensees in America.

SRG Members serve their communities with a growing array of programming and services—real-time broadcast and digital audio streams, on-demand audio, podcasts, social media, digital publishing, live events, and video—across a constantly evolving set of platforms for networked digital age.

SRG provides its Members sustainable public service media strategies along with knowledge, insight, and inspiration. SRG assures a strong voice for local institutions in the evolving design of local public media, fosters operational excellence, champions innovative initiatives that improve its Members' individual and collective efforts and enhance their significance within their service communities. SRG Members are a diverse constituency that includes:

Many of public media's largest and most successful institutions, such as WNYC, KQED, GBH, WBEZ/Chicago Sun-Times, KERA, LAist, WAMU, and WHYY
Vibrant statewide networks such as Minnesota Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Radio, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Colorado Public Radio, KUER, and Connecticut Public
Innovative institutions in more rural communities and smaller states, such as New Hampshire Public Radio, Vermont Public Media, KOSU in Oklahoma, Prairie Public in North Dakota, and Boise State Public Radio in Idaho
Institutions that are expanding the audiences for—and increasing their community’s engagement with—classical, jazz, and popular music such as KUSC/Classical California, WXPN and WRTI in Philadelphia, and KING in Seattle
Creative institutions that bring public media to new audiences such as the nation's principal producer of Latino public radio programming, Radio Bilingüe, and Koahnic Broadcasting, which manages public radio's Native American network

SRG informs Members’ strategic planning and strengthens their operating effectiveness through in-depth analysis, long-term planning, and collaborative projects.

SRG's special competency is to integrate wide-ranging findings and to address complex issues in a fashion that resonates with station managers and system leaders and inspires action and change.

SRG seeks to inspire our Members’ executives to work as effective change agents within their own organizations. We look to support these leaders toward a resilient, sustainable, and success future—not necessarily by providing answers and prescriptions, but rather by asking the right questions, identifying the most salient issues, and provoking the most thoughtful discussions.

SRG is headed by Bill Davis, a veteran public media leader who served as founding President of Southern California Public Radio, Vice President for Programming at NPR, and top executive at public radio stations in North Carolina and New York.

As SRG looks ahead, the focus is on issues of mission, public service, connection to community, and meaningful station roles in local civic and cultural affairs. We see a powerful, broadly-shared impulse toward community-focused and station-originated content that extends public radio's core values, gives richer meaning to our ambitions for significant programming, and reinforces our importance to our audiences. Our aim is to help stations translate this vision to real, effective, and sustainable service.
