Public Affairs Monthly Report

March 2006

Production:

  • The Division hosted the VH1 Save the Music grants concert at the Indiana Statehouse Rotunda.  The concert showcased 4-Indianapolis Public Schools.  Al Aldridge, BHN, and Christy Manso, VH1, presented the 'big check' to the four principals of the recipient schools.  This makes a total of 22-IPS schools that have received VH1 STM grants since 2001 for a total of $550,000 in grants.

  • VH1 also announced that the IPS School Board would be honored at a ceremony at the National Academic Administrators Conference in Chicago in April.  The award will be in the name of Bright House Networks and VH1.  A member of the BHN Division has been invited to attend the ceremony.

  • We produced and ran a PSA with City-Council President Monroe Gray on a Senior Health Celebration event.  This was the 5th PSA that we have done with members of the City-County Council during the past year.  These spots contributed to over $34,000 worth of in-kind airtime for various organizations and community causes during the month.

  • Al Aldridge, Director of Public Affairs for the Division, was the recipient for two awards for his efforts with Community Public Affairs during the month.  He received the Pinnacle Award from the Midwest Cable Academy and the 2006 Public Affairs Achievement Award from the Cable Television Public Affairs Association.  He was also recognized as an award nominee at the Center for Leadership Development's Minority Achievers Recognition Awards Dinner.

  • Members of the Division continue to volunteer with the Indianapolis Public Schools Education Foundation (IPSEF), the Walker Theatre Center, the 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, the National Hemophilia Foundation, and the YMCA.

  • The continued partnership with WDNI provided the required hours of local programming as mandated by the City's franchise agreement.
