Political commentator and broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff comes to the University of San Diego’s Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice Theater on Wednesday. The second talk in the 2006 KPBS Lecture Series, Woodruff will review the results from Tuesday’s election and share her forecast for the 2008 Presidential race. Woodruff will also talk about her new project Generation Next, an upcoming PBS documentary, which focuses on the opinions and beliefs of young Americans aged 16 to 25.

KPBS Radio’s recent fall membership drive resulted in $443,703 from 2,914 gifts. The 15-day campaign, which ended on October 27, saw an 8-percent increase in web based membership.
In October 2005, 19 percent of total dollars raised for the fall radio membership campaign came from kpbs.org. This year, 27 percent of pledges generated from the site. KPBS’ newly-renovated website launched in September and offers easier navigation as well as enhanced visual elements and increased user interaction.
The campaign also received another lift when Richard Lederer announced his retirement as co-host of A Way with Words. The announcement was made in the middle of the membership campaign, during Morning Edition. KPBS members responded by pledging gifts totaling nearly $35,000 in just four hours.
KPBS Television membership campaigns are held four times a year in March, June, August and December. KPBS Radio membership campaigns are held two times per year, in April and October. Approximately 39 percent of the total operating budget for KPBS Radio and Television can be attributed to donations from members. Proceeds also come from the following areas: corporate support, special projects, federal funding, San Diego State University support and grants.
KPBS is a broadcast service of San Diego State University, serving the region with TV, radio and Internet content that is educational as well as entertaining-and free of commercial interruption. KPBS-FM is at 89.5, and the TV serves the area on TV 15, and is also available in HD.
