Station Activity Survey (SAS)

The Station Activity Survey (SAS) collects information from public broadcasting stations about their operations so that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) can:

• advocate the interests of public broadcasting to Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the American public;
• help stations and other public broadcasting organizations with planning and evaluation;
• study and anticipate industry-wide trends;
• and monitor the results of stations' equal employment opportunity practices.

SAS data also helps us to calculate the next fiscal year's Community Service Grants for our grantees. All CPB- supported grant recipients must complete the SAS survey in order to receive the second payment of the Community Service Grants.

Joint licensees must complete a separate SAS survey for TV and Radio.
