A MESSAGE FROM LPB PRESIDENT/CEO BETH COURTNEY
A MESSAGE FROM FRIENDS BOARD CHAIRMAN PHILLIP JUBAN
I am pleased to report that in spite of dramatic changes in our industry’s
business model and a difficult financial climate, LPB has survived and
thrived. We continue to produce “content of consequence,” and we are
supported by an incredible number of individuals who contribute their time
and talent.
2013 was another banner year for Friends of LPB. The year started
and ended with special previews of one of the most popular PBS show
in decades, Downton Abbey. Friends hosted a special celebration of
Season 3 in January and a tea inspired by Downton Abbey on December 29 to preview Season 4.
A partnership with the office of Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne resulted
in one of our most ambitious productions Sunshine By The Stars:
Celebrating Louisiana Music. Hosted by Harry Connick, Jr., it has
aired both here in Louisiana and nationally on PBS stations around the
country. It features the top musical talent from Louisiana singing our state
song along with a history of the music of Louisiana. In 2013, we also premiered the first two episodes of our six-part series, Alive! In America’s
Delta. This partnership with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries examines efforts to save the state’s endangered species and
enforce the state’s wildlife, hunting, fishing and boating laws.
On May 9, Friends held the annual Louisiana Legends Gala and Auction
at the Old State Capitol. This year’s recipients included arts activist and
philanthropist O. Delton Harrison, businessman and philanthropist C.
Paul Hilliard, retired Louisiana Supreme Court Chief Judge Katherine
“Kitty” Kimball, famed musician and educator Ellis Marsalis, and
CenturyLink President and CEO Glen Post. Legends Committee Chair
Rose Long did a great job bringing in sponsors to help make this one of
the most profitable galas in Friends history.
We continue a leadership position in the news media of Louisiana with
Louisiana the State We’re In and Louisiana Public Square
along with daily Capitol Beat reports from the State Capitol during the
legislative session.
LPB was selected as one of five locations in the country to pilot a new
Ready To Learn grant project that worked with numerous early childhood
centers in North Baton Rouge and included partnerships with the Rotary
Club of Baton Rouge and ExxonMobil. We also held four of our popular
and educational Super Summer Explorers Camps this year to help children
gain the literacy and technology skills they need to succeed in school.
LPB also helped 40,000 teachers around the state gain access to our on
line resource material in their classrooms. One of the most popular virtual
fieldtrips allowed 11,000 students to view the history of Louisiana’s Old
State Capitol.
The LPB Art and Travel Auction was the biggest ever as more than 280
pieces of art were generously donated by Louisiana artists. The auction
kicked off with the Art Rocks! preview party in September and ended
October 24 with the live on-air auction. I want to give special recognition to Auction co-chairs Lynne Pisto and Shannon Allen who traveled
around the state to pick up the art that made this year’s auction so
successful.
I want to thank the Board and the Friends staff for all their hard work
this year. You can see the results of those efforts on LPB every day
as the money raised by Friends goes to help purchase and create the
programs you enjoy so much on the state public television network.
The awareness of public television soared in this past year with the
amazing success of Downton Abbey, the highest rated series in PBS history. LPB special events such as Louisiana Young Heroes and the Louisiana
Legends Gala also had record attendance.
We are looking forward to another great year in 2014.

A MESSAGE FROM CHRISTIAN GOUDEAU, CHAIRMAN,
LOUISIANA EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION AUTHORITY
BOARD
2013 will have to go down as one of the most exciting
years in Louisiana Public Broadcasting’s 38-year history.
The great success of Downton Abbey, the most popular
show on PBS and LPB in history, got the year off to an
excellent start and the momentum continued throughout
the year as we honored eight students with Louisiana
Young Heroes Awards and named five outstanding
Louisianans as Louisiana Legends in the spring.
The year kept getting better as almost 5,000 people attended Antique Roadshow’s July 27 visit to Baton
Rouge. LPB produced a behind-the-scenes show that
aired in December with the actual episodes premiering in
February 2014.
We’re proud to say that three of LPB’s program went
national this year. The Great American Seafood
Cookoff IV and Turning the Tide were distributed
by American Public Television to nearly 100 stations
around the country while Sunshine By the Stars:
Celebrating Louisiana Music was distributed by
PBS.
Despite state and federal budget cuts, LPB has been
able to maintain its efforts to tell Louisiana’s story and
we are confident that 2014 will be another excellentyear.
MESSAGE FROM FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN LOUISIANA PUBLIC BROADCASTING
CHAIRMAN JOE TRAIGLE
The Foundation for Excellence in Louisiana Public Broadcasting continued its strong
financial support for LPB in 2013. The Foundation provided funding for a wide-range of
Louisiana projects including television programs, community outreach activities, classroom
education and much more.
We were also proud that the support of the Foundation helped offset some of the cuts
made in LPB’s funding in 2013 and we stand ready to continue out longstanding commitment to Louisiana Public Broadcasting’s mission of providing excellent educational and
entertaining programming and telling Louisiana’s story.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW COMES TO BATON ROUGE!
Almost 5,000 people attended the Antique Roadshow’s first visit to
Louisiana in 10 years at the Baton Rouge River Center on July 27.
As part of the 18th season of the highest rated series on PBS and LPB, the
three shows premiered on February 17 and 24, and March 24 at 7PM.
One of the highlights during the Roadshow visit was the discovery of
a copy of the book The History of Magic, with an inscription from his old
college roommate…Jim Morrison of The Doors fame. The book appraised
for $8,000 to $10,000.
“Roadshow had high expectations for our first visit to Baton
Rouge and it did not disappoint.”
- Marsha Bemko,
Antiques Roadshow’s
Executive Producer.
The Roadshow also visited Magnolia Mound Plantation in Baton Rouge
for a discussion about Southern furniture with appraiser Leigh Keno, the
Port Hudson National Cemetery where Chris Mitchell discussed Civil War
grenades, and the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge where Kathleen
Hardwood discussed the work of artist Clementine Hunter.
LPB premiered Antiques Roadshow Baton Rouge: Behind-the
Scenes in December featuring interviews with host Mark L. Walberg,
Bemko and some of the people who brought items in for appraisal.

PRODUCTIONS
2013 saw the national premiere of two award-winning LPB productions and
the start of an exciting new series.
Sunshine by the Stars: Celebrating Louisiana Music was distributed by PBS
to public television stations around the country in November. Harry Connick,
Jr. hosted and performed in the program, and worked with the Lt. Governor’s
Office and LPB on this project which featured an all-star lineup of Louisiana
artists including Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famers Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Guy and
Allen Toussaint performing their own unique renditions of the Louisiana State
Song “You Are My Sunshine.”
Turning The Tide, an in-depth discussion of possible solutions to the state’s
rapidly disappearing coastline and wetlands, also went national in November.
Working with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, LPB began
a six-part series called Alive! In America’s Delta in 2013 that looks at
the efforts to save endangered species in our state. The first two episodes,
The Whooping Crane’s Majestic Return premiered in August and Black Bear
Comeback premiered in November with the rest scheduled for 2014.
In 2013, the Louisiana Legends series featured interviews with retired Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Kitty Kimball; musician, educator and patriarch of
the First Family of Jazz Ellis Marsalis; arts advocate and philanthropist Delton
Harrison; Century Link President/CEO Glen Post; and philanthropist and art
advocate Paul Hilliard. All five were honored at the Louisiana Legends Gala in
May at the Old State Capitol.
This year also marked the 10th year of LPB’s partnership with the McLeod
Lecture Series at McNeese State University in Lake Charles. This year’s topic
was Overcoming Gridlock In A Partisan Environment.
Louisiana: The State We’re In celebrated its 37th year on the air in September. Charlie Whinham and Shauna Sanford (right) host Louisiana’s only
statewide newsmagazine, providing the latest news from around the state
and the State Capitol along with entertaining features and informative panel
discussions.
6 • LPB ANNUAL REPORT | 2013
Now in its tenth season, Louisiana Public Square continued providing a forum for average citizens to express their opinions
about the important issues facing the state and question experts on that month’s topics. Among the topics this year were
gay rights, pot decriminalization, tax reform and what can be done to save the state’s coastline.
Fifteen chefs from around
the country competed in The
Great American Seafood
Cookoff 2013 in New Orleans in July. It was the fifth
year that LPB has created a
program featuring highlights
from the competition. It will
air on PBS stations around
the country in 2014.

JUST FOR KIDS
LPB continued its outreach efforts around the state with a wide range of
activities.
LPB was one of only five public television entities to receive a grant from the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS Kids to test the effectiveness
of digital content developed through Ready To Learn to help children ages
2-8 in low income families develop early math and literacy skills. The grant
targeted three Head Start Centers and three elementary schools in North
Baton Rouge.
In New Orleans, LPB and Entergy continued their literacy outreach efforts at
10 childcare centers and one elementary charter school by providing books,
training teachers and helping coordinate other outreach activities to help
these preschoolers gain the skills they need to learn how to read.
One of the most successful and fun projects LPB that did in 2013 was the
four summer technology camps held at LPB and the J.K. Haynes Charter
School. The weeklong camps teach children how to use computers and
enhance their literacy skills through a wide range of entertaining and
educational activities.
LPB brought every child’s favorite train to town in November. Almost 700
parents and children turned out to meet Thomas the Tank Engine and watch
a preview of his new movie King of the Railway. The children had a great
time meeting Thomas and LPB collected boxes of gloves and winter hats for
the children in the Big Buddy program in Baton Rouge.
