TO OUR MEMBERS, VIEWERS AND FRIENDS,
2012 was quite a year for PBS and KLRU!
All year, we celebrated 50 years of inspiring Austin with quality television programs, engaging community
projects and lifelong educational initiatives that span the diverse interests of Central Texas.
More than 3,000 people of all ages and description came to
KLRU’s Birthday Party to meet Cookie Monster, Cat in the
Hat, Super Why, and a host of other PBS Kids celebrities.
More than 25,000 people attended 20 Austin City Limits
tapings featuring artists like Radiohead, Bonnie Raitt, Jack
White, and Tim McGraw, along with Austinites Gary Clark,
Kat Edmonson, and Esperanza Spaulding.
KLRU productions were nominated for a dozen Lone Star
Emmys, and we were honored to receive three of the
coveted statues for excellence in production.
Austin City Limits was honored with a Peabody Award, one of
broadcasting’s most prestigious awards recognizing the most
outstanding achievements in electronic media, including
radio, television and cable.
And that’s just a start! Season Two of Downton Abbey brought more drama, PBS’s in-depth and informed coverage of
the election brought more awareness, and new kids shows like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood brought more fun and
learning. For the ninth year in a row, PBS was voted #1 in public trust, and in a national poll, parents said PBS KIDS is the
best educational media choice for young learners.
In this Annual Report you’ll learn how KLRU is working every day to continue inspiring Austin and Central Texas,
just as we have for 50 years:
INSPIRING CREATIVITY through our work in the arts;
INSPIRING EXPLORATION by providing educational tools and content for people of all ages; and
INSPIRING UNDERSTANDING by bringing the community together on important topics of public concern
I hope you will take a few minutes to read through this report and see the many ways KLRU is working throughout
Central Texas. Most important, I hope that you will be inspired to become a part of the KLRU family, as a viewer,
donor, member, or volunteer. Together, we will build a stronger, more informed, more engaged Central Texas.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STORIES...
…and extending those stories beyond television in a way that gives a voice to diverse groups,
creates partnerships to strengthen Austin, and shares what’s special about our community
with the rest of the nation and the world.
STORIES FOR A DIVERSE COMMUNITY
One of the great things about being Austin’s PBS station is the opportunity for KLRU to create
and air locally-produced television shows that reflect the diverse interests and people of
Central Texas. We are proud to produce uniquely Austin shows like Austin City Limits,
Overheard with Evan Smith, Central Texas Gardener, and Arts In Context.
In 2012, KLRU continued working closely with Austin’s creative community to bring wideranging stories to Central Texas and beyond. Produced by non-profit Civication in association
with Austin Community College, Access News is created by the deaf community for everyone,
using American Sign Language, in addition to audio and captioning, to provide an accessible
report on issues that matter. The Biscuit Brothers make sure that Austin kids have a start on
their love for music. On Story, presented by The Austin Film Festival, presents the art and craft
of filmmaking by showcasing the work of screenwriters, filmmakers and all artists who use the
language of film to tell a story.
In 2012, KLRU also completed several special projects, creating documentaries that look more
deeply into the lives and stories of Central Texas.
Juneteenth Jamboree, an annual special that gives a historical perspective on
Juneteenth while reflecting the rich heritage of Central Texas’ African American community.
With musical performances, historians and more, the magazine-style program allows
KLRU to tell stories that are seldom heard.
Operation Appreciation, a documentary about retirees from Sun City in Georgetown that
come together on a mission to show gratitude to the soldiers at Fort Hood. Many of the
volunteers are veterans themselves, and travel more than 50 miles each week to hand baked
goods to hundreds of soldiers
at Fort Hood, one of the largest
United States military installations
in the world. This special was
recognized for excellence by The
Lone Star Chapter of the National
Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences with a nomination for
a 2012 Lone Star Emmy Award.

PARTNERING FOR A BETTER AUSTIN
A key KLRU strategy is creating community partnerships that raise awareness of important
issues, and 2012 was no exception. KLRU collaborated with dozens of community organizations
to explore community concerns and celebrate the unique culture and assets of Austin
& Central Texas.
As a lead partner in Light / The Holocaust & Humanity Project, KLRU worked alongside
Ballet Austin and the Anti-Defamation League-Austin. Supported by more than 40 other
community organizations, the project convened a public dialogue to promote the protection
of human rights against bigotry and hate through arts and education. KLRU engaged awardwinning filmmaker and UT Austin professor Karen Bernstein to create the Arts in Context film
Producing Hope, documenting the creation of Ballet Austin’s moving ballet that tells the story
of one holocaust survivor. KLRU also dedicated an episode of Overheard with Evan Smith to
holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, and featured a remarkable presentation by
survivor and humanitarian Gerda Weissmann Klein. This project was honored by the Lone Star
Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a 2012 Lone Star Emmy
Award for Community Service.
Other notable partnerships focused on child abuse and human rights issues. KLRU partnered
with the Center for Child Protection for a screening of When the Bough Breaks. This
documentary takes viewers behind-the-scenes for a never-before-seen glimpse into a child
abuse investigation and serves as an unprecedented vehicle that can change how society
looks at child abuse. The event included a moderated panel discussion with more than 300
in attendance.
“Thank you for opening
our eyes and minds to old
and new things. KLRU is a
great educator and full of
adventure in all forms.”

PARTNERING FOR A BETTER AUSTIN
KLRU also partnered with Travis County and Williamson County Court Appointed Special
Advocates (CASA) for the annual Superhero 5K, which raises funds and awareness for CASA,
providing abused or neglected children with a dedicated advocate who speaks for their best
interest in court, at school and in our community.
KLRU also worked with the LBJ Presidential Library to bring Civil Rights leader Julian Bond to
Austin for a preview screening of the powerful documentary Freedom Riders and a discussion on the topic with more than 1,000 in attendance. Freedom Riders is the inspiring story
of the more than 400 black and white men and women who, using non-violent tactics, risked
their lives to challenge segregated travel facilities in the 1960s.
KLRU and The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin
joined local filmmaker Mat Hames for a screening and discussion of his film When I Rise. This
documentary profiles internationally-acclaimed opera singer Barbara Smith Conrad who, as a
gifted University of Texas music student in the 1960s, found herself at the epicenter of racial
controversy, struggling against the odds and ultimately ascending to the heights of international opera. Our screening, for more than 300 people, featured Barbara Smith Conrad in person,
answering questions about her story and joined by a young opera student, Icy Simpson, whose
life is significantly different because Conrad paved the way for African American opera stars.
We also joined with the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life at the University of Texas and
KUT-FM, Austin public radio, to launch a series called “Why Bother: Engaging Texans in
Democracy Today”. “Why Bother” explored the challenges and opportunities facing those
who want to become engaged in the issues that exist for our communities and our state.

INSPIRING CREATIVITY
Nothing inspires creativity more than experiencing art – it’s conception, creation, display or performance.
KLRU not only presents national arts shows like Great Performances and Live from Lincoln Center, we also bring
Central Texas’ art and artists to center stage.
2012 marked the launch of the PBS Arts Festival, a series of ongoing programs celebrating America’s emerging
artists through performances, profiles and documentaries about the art scenes in communities around the country. KLRU brought this national project home with short local
segments airing alongside each program — focusing on Austin Lyric Opera’s
Kids Opera Camp, Forklift Danceworks’ The Trash Project, The University of Texas Landmarks Project and more.
Arts In Context, KLRU’s flagship art series, continued to showcase diverse arts including acclaimed local composer
Graham Reynolds, visual arts with Austin Museum of Art 15 to Watch, the art of Dia de los Muertos, a trip to Marfa and
more. The newest season of the series focuses on artistic
collaborations including Fantastic Fest, Mother Falcon and Sky Candy.
The Lone Star Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored the show’s episode on the
Trouble Puppet Theater with a 2012 Lone Star Emmy Award.
KLRU also began a partnership with the Austin Film Festival for the film series On Story. This program, distributed
nationally in 2012, helps solidify Austin’s leadership role in the film industry with interviews with directors and writers
about the creative process of making movies.
Austin is internationally known as “The Live Music Capital of the World,” a title that is both at the core of the City’s
economic and tourism strategy and its creative image. KLRU has played, and is continuing to play, a key role building and growing that image by showcasing Austin’s musical creativity through Austin City Limits (ACL). ACL is the
longest-running music program in television history, the only television show to have been awarded the Presiden-

AUSTIN ARTS AND THE WEB
With so many incredible artists and creative endeavors in the area, KLRU began an online
series of digital shorts — KLRU Collective — created especially to showcase Austin’s art
scene highlighting local artists, ideas, organizations and projects. KLRU produced more
than 25 new videos focusing on diverse arts including Asian Occasion (which was honored
with a 2012 Lone Star Emmy Award), VSA Texas, the State Organization on Arts and
Disability Texas Access Gallery, The University of Texas Visual Arts Center, Fashion Week, Art
from the Ashes, Ransom Center, public art and more. As part of a continued partnership
with the East Austin Studio Tour, KLRU conducted more than 70 interviews capturing the
creative culture of this eclectic community. The KLRU Collective website has a full mobileready design so people can watch videos on their phones anytime for creative inspiration.
In 2012 we created an educational series for PBS Digital Studios with nationally-recognized,
award-winning chef Aaron Franklin. BBQ with Franklin offers tips and tricks for the aspiring
pitmaster, presented in a relaxed, engaging style by one of Austin’s best known chefs. This
project gained national support through our inaugural Indiegogo campaign. Crowd-funded
with help from PBS, more than 240 people gave a combined $20,000 helping us surpass our
goal of $16,000 for this series and resulting in more episodes than were originally planned!

tial Medal of the Arts, and was recently recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 10 most
influential music programs of all time. In 2012,
ACL was awarded a prestigious George Foster
Peabody Award, honoring the program’s history
and body of work.
With the show’s 38th consecutive season of
production, ACL continued to expose
millions of people each week to diverse musical
genres and has also become one of most highly
viewed shows on PBS online.
ACL also helped give birth to the internationally
acclaimed ACL Music Festival, which celebrated it’s 11th anniversary in 2012 and brings thousands of visitors to Austin for three days of great
music. The Festival, which has been recognized
as one of the top festivals in the world by Pollstar Magazine, generates more than $70 million
in direct economic impact to the city each year.
In 2013, The ACL Festival will grow to encompass two consecutive weekends.
In 2011, the station expanded Austin City
Limits’ reach by moving the show’s production
to Downtown Austin. Through an innovative
public-private collaboration with local developer Stratus Properties, KLRU created ACL Live at
The Moody Theater, a state-of-the-art production facility – including a comprehensive High
Definition production system and a direct fiber
connection to KLRU’s home on The University
of Texas campus. The move has also expanded
audience capacity, so more fans than ever can
participate in ACL tapings.
The facility also allows KLRU to record a variety
of other musical performances to be shared
with viewers nationwide. For example, KLRU
taped world-renowned classical guitarist Jorge
Caballero, the Miro Quartet and The Classical Guitar Orchestra, conducted by the Austin
Symphony’s Peter Bay. This performance aired
as part of KLRU’s Arts In Context series and the
station has plans to record more performances
in the future.
While creativity is the goal, ACL also has a
significant impact economically. According to
officials at The City of Austin, ACL Live at The
Moody Theater has been an important addition
to the 2nd Street District, and has had a substantial economic impact with people attending tapings and concerts and bringing dollars to
the downtown area.

INSPIRING EXPLORATION
Getting a glimpse of something fascinating sparks a drive to explore further.
KLRU offers our viewers a window to the world that piques their interest to learn more. Whether
exploring the ocean’s floor or the edges of the galaxy, NOVA takes viewers places they dream of
going, and explains the natural forces at work in our daily lives. Nature, the most watched documentary film series on public television, brings the beauty and wonder of the natural world into
our living rooms. KLRU offers Central Texas programs that explore the
wonders of our own communities.
Explorers of all ages have come to love The Daytripper, which celebrated its third successful
season in 2012. Host Chet Garner and team created The Daytripper ”to inspire folks to get
out and explore the Lone Star State.” Each week, Chet takes viewers on a fun, fast-paced ride
through the characters, culture and cuisine that makes Texas special. This year, The Daytripper
received a Lone Star Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Magazine Program or Series
for its episode featuring Marfa, TX.
KLRU brought viewers the beauty of Wildflowers! Seeds of History. This one-hour documentary
serves as a tool for finding the best spots during the wildflower season and as a resource for
flower identification. Wildflowers! is now being used in schools as an educational tool. SXSW
Flashback takes viewers to the annual SXSW conference to talk to panelists and celebrities.
The show was nominated for a 2012 Lone Star Emmy Award and will return with a new
episode in 2013.
To celebrate our Spanish language channel — Vme — KLRU encouraged families to explore
together at a month-long series of events at Barton Creek Mall. KLRU partnered with local
groups, including Mexic-Arte Museum and Heartsongs Music, to have free activities the entire
family could enjoy together. This partnership allowed KLRU to give approximately 31,000 daily
visitors to Barton Creek Mall a glimpse into Austin’s many family-friendly resources. Vme
allows KLRU to serve primarily Spanish-speaking families with educational resources. In honor
of Hispanic Heritage Month 2012, KLRU partnered with Crockett High School and Latino Public
Broadcasting to present a special screening of the acclaimed film Mariachi High. Crockett High
School’s own Mariachi de Oro and Bedichek Middle School’s Mariachi del Sur performed at the
event and Kelly Sheehan, Executive Producer of Mariachi High, talked to the crowd about
making the film.

KLRU’S READY TO LEARN

workshops
almost 3,500 adults attended workshops
more than 3,400 children were served
more than 7,000 books were distributed
Education is fundamental to exploration, and it is at the foundation of everything KLRU does. The station has a goal
to teach people how to explore in order to build a more engaged, curious and active community. One of our main
focus areas is improving school-readiness of Central Texas youth through projects like Ready To Learn and by helping teachers and caregivers with resources.
Since 1995, KLRU’s Ready To Learn initiative has partnered with Austin area schools, libraries and other organizations to provide parents, teachers and other caregivers with techniques and tools designed to encourage early
literacy and a love of reading. Through KLRU’s Ready To Learn workshops, parents explore reading strategies, math,
science, and media literacy. They also receive several children’s storybooks and home activities materials to begin
building their own home libraries.
While the Ready To Learn project has a large community impact, KLRU has also taken resources out in the community
in other ways to help children and their parents. The station opened two PBS Kids Raising Readers Library Corners
at Sierra Ridge Learning Center at Foundation Communities and Sí Se Puede Learning Center to bring learning
materials directly to organizations helping families. Library Corners give children and parents the opportunity to
strengthen literacy skills through fun, engaging multi-media platforms. The Library Corners feature characters from
favorite books and PBS KIDS programs. All activities — including self-directed worksheets, online videos, parent-led
activities, and more — are based on an existing literacy framework that has its foundation in the National Reading
Panel recommendations, encompassing skills such as letter recognition, print awareness, and vocabulary instruction.
The station also uses technology to help teachers and families explore the world. In 2012 KLRU launched local
access to PBS LearningMedia. This free online service is open to everyone – teachers, students and families – and
has content contributed from the National Archives, the Library of Congress, NASA, the National Science Foundation,
the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Education and many others. PBS LearningMedia delivers
thousands of resources, allowing teachers, students and families to explore topics of interest whether in class or
exploring on their own.
This year KLRU was one of 12 stations chosen to participate in the National STEM Video Game Challenge. KLRU
brought students from East Austin College Prep Academy and Travis High School together with game developer
mentors and education experts to create new educational games.

INSPIRING UNDERSTANDING
The key to understanding is communication. Each week KLRU communicates the news and issues of our day on
our public affairs programs like Overheard with Evan Smith, PBS NewsHour, Frontline and many more. But
your PBS station also brings people together to create an even deeper understanding of our local community
and the world. Through projects like Civic Summit, Community Cinema and Spark at The Moody, real dialogue on the issues takes place and people come to a personal understanding of issues and their fellow community members.
KLRU’s Civic Summit is both a television show and a community
discussion that delves into the details of today’s policy topics. For
each Civic Summit, KLRU asks the public to submit questions so
that the discussion is informed by what the community wants to
know. Each Civic Summit allows KLRU to partner with local organizations to inform viewers about topics including politics, economic
development, families and poverty and civic engagement. Partners
during 2012 included the League of Women Voters Austin Area
Education Fund, The Texas Tribune, KUT-FM, The Annette Strauss
Institute for Civic Life, The Center for Public Policy Priorities and the
City of Austin.
KLRU continued our Community Cinema screenings, reaching a
diverse audience at the Austin Public Library Windsor Park Branch.
Each of our Community Cinema events features a film screening
and a group discussion on the issues presented in the films. The
screenings included a focus on Native Americans, transgender
youth, refugees from war-torn countries adjusting to life in small
town America, the arts, African American history and much more.
Youth in attendance from the East Austin neighborhood have
been exposed to different cultures and events they would not
have otherwise seen if not for this partnership between KLRU and
the Austin Public Library. For example, at the screening of Pushing
The Elephant, which focuses on a family now in America dealing
with the ethnic violence of the wars in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, one teenager commented “This is happening now? Like this
isn’t history? This is something taking place right now in our world?”
“Democracy cannot survive
without an informed community.
KLRU serves a public purpose.”
— KLRU Viewer
“In a world that’s losing media
objectivity and veracity, KLRU’s
contribution to informing the public
is more important than ever.”
— KLRU Viewer
“We feel we can count on KLRU to
present information that is well
researched.” — KLRU Viewer
KLRU’s engaging speakers series, Spark, brought the community
six events in the fall of 2011 and spring of 2012. Events featured
discussions on America’s geopolitical future; the emerging healthcare models in Texas; the nation and fostering civility among
Americans when political polarization is the norm; women in
politics; the changing state of education; and human rights. The
event on human rights, featured Author Gerda Weissmann Klein,
was also taped and shown on KLRU and other PBS stations as
part of the Light / The Holocaust & Humanity Project.
