American Public Media has begun processing station fees and rates for APM FY15 (July 1, 2014-June 30, 2015). A key first step is to verify that we have correct Total Station Revenue or TSR (FY2014 CSG + FY2012 NFFS, as reported to the CPB) for each station. This revenue is used to calculate each station’s annual APM service fee and Marketplace fee, if applicable.

Every year we contact all of you to ascertain whether any CAPITAL REVENUE is included in that year’s TSR. Capital Revenue is defined as revenue earned from capital campaigns and/or endowments as they appear in your CPB AFR report, specifically, lines 17 & 18 of Schedule A.

To correctly adjust your TSR, all stations needing to back out Capital Revenue must notify APM no later than Friday, January 31, 2014. All responses should be directed to Andrew Cleveland at acleveland@americanpublicmedia.org along with the first three pages of the AFR report that includes the Capital Revenue.

If we do not have this information by January 31, 2014 we will not be able to adjust TSR and it will impact your program fees.If you have any questions, please contact your Station Relations Representative  ASAP.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
