The Public Media Consulting Group (“PMCG”) can provide public broadcasting stations with a number of services that assist with good governance, transparency, objective operations, and financial stewardship matters:

• Representation or Assistance with development, implementation, and communication about governance, transparency, financial security, risk management, community representation, and objective decision-making policies and practices.  These services are billed hourly at a rate of $400 per hour (billed in quarterly increments).
• A Strategic Review of your station’s practices would let you know whether your station is well suited to promote transparency, good governance, and prevent waste, fraud and abuse of funds.  The review will also recommend ways to improve your procedures and develop practices and policies that help you protect your station.  The cost for a strategic review is a flat fee based on your financial support, plus travel expenses, and covers:
  • Open & Closed Meetings;
  • Access to Records;
  • Advisory Bodies and Community Input;
  • Financial Disclosure;
  • Donor Privacy;
  • Community Representation;
  • Objective Decision-Making;
  • Risk Management; and
  • Financial Operations.
• Meeting Facilitation services create an environment where a positive outcome can be achieved during a meeting or retreat.  Part of this environment is having a facilitator that understands the unique needs of a public broadcasting station and can provide relevant direction to a public media group discussing planning or strategy.  PMCG consultants have considerable experience working in the public broadcasting industry and understand the internal and external factors that can influence public media business decisions.
