What Our Clients Are Saying...
Overall Service
"Everything went really well with the rollout of our new Public Platform site. We've received lots of positive feedback from our community, and it has been really easy for us to keep our site up to date. We're very impressed with how user-friendly the online tools are, and how responsive the team at Public Interactive has been to our input on the project!"
Brian E. Koral |
President & General Manager |
Aleutian Peninsula Broadcasting, Inc. (KSDP)
"Public Interactive has enabled us to provide a meaningful web service
that would have been beyond the reach of our resources otherwise."
- Peter Bryant, Station Manager | WKYU/WKUE/WKPB/WDCL, Western Kentucky University
"I love Public Interactive."
- John Unser, IT Coordinator, MPTV Friends, Milwaukee, WI
"Public Interactive has played an important part in the
development of KCUR's
web site. With the addition of the Public NewsRoom, Arts and Events
pages, our site has 'grown up' and has become an integral part of
KCUR's role in the community. The administrative tools are incredibly
well designed and easy to use and the support staff are always quick to
respond to any questions."
- Sara Crane, Promotions and Web Manager |
KCUR, Kansas City, MO
"For stations that have a small staff, minimal
technical skills and limited budgets, Public Interactive is the perfect
partner. They offer design services to help build a site from the
ground up. They provide excellent content that gives a site instant
credibility. And they offer on-going support to help local staff
maintain the site from promotional tools to technical assistance, all
in a friendly, accessible manner."
- John Gregory, Assistant Station Manager |
WEKU Richmond, KY
"Public Interactive truly lives up to its name, making
it possible for the KUNC staff and members of the community to use
www.kunc.org to communicate with each other without having to be fluent
in Java, Page Maker or the always popular 'Fatal Error,' on a daily
basis. Our entire news staff is able in a matter of minutes to not only
serve the listening audience by making important news stories available
on demand, but also to create an archive record for use by both staff
and listeners. In the first month of our using the Community Events
page, more than 80 venues and a couple hundred activities were listed,
with a minimal increase in work for the KUNC staff.
"An added bonus is the technical staff of Public
Interactive -- accessible, helpful and supportive. If you question my
enthusiasm, take a look at our page or call me directly."
- Neil Best, General Manager |
KUNC Greeley, CO
"I continue to be impressed at the speed in which all of you respond and resolve any problems. Thanks again. "
- Mike Foley, Reporter News/Sports/Features |
WCBE Columbus, OH
Pulse
"Pulse is an big improvement over our previous e-mail software. It's easier, quicker, more intuitive and much less frustrating. It does more of what we need it to do; it makes us more efficient; the messages it produces look and work better. Plus, Pulse has state-of-the-art tech support!" - Tom Haydon, OPB
"
Data sync tools in Pulse allow us to import different membership data from Memsys to Pulse so we can easily segment our list by renewal dates, by whether they've pledged and so on. Pulse also makes it easy to track the success of our e-solicitations and help us evaluate what's what's working.
" - Bryan Talbott, WFAE
"Pulse is so user-friendly! It is easy to generate reports about messages that subscribers have opened. And having the data in real-time
is great, we aren't left wondering if anyone is opening our message. Not only is the e-mail application easy to use, but when there are problems,
the support we receive from Public Interactive has always given us a solution. Pulse is a great marketing tool!
" - Dale Hobson, NCPR
Quick Pledge
The Quick Pledge/Pulse tracking feature gives you immediate feedback on the
success of each e-appeal. It's easy to use and in conjunction with
Quick Pledge provides a great tool to track the number of pledges and
dollar amounts attributable to each e-appeal -- including WHO responded
to each appeal. - Dorie Vallillo, General Manager, Tri States Public Radio
"We loved Quick Pledge!!! It was so easy to set-up and to use and since we did not have on-line pledging last spring, it was a HUGE jump for us. Hopefully more people will pledge online as they become more aware that we have it. We got Quick Pledge only a week before our drive started. Thanks!" - Angie Kimbro,
WKMS
"Small stations with limited time and staff will find
Quick Pledge a godsend. Managing the thank-you gifts and transactions
is so simple and looks so good on the screen. We couldn't have been as
successful out of the box with our new music if it wasn't for Quick
Pledge!"
- Steve Yasko | General Manager, WTMD, Baltimore
"I would be remiss if I didn't mention that WTMD
wouldn't have been as successful as it was during and before our drive
if it wasn't for Quick
Pledge from Public Interactive.
"We are a small staff and on a limited budget.
Quick Pledge gives us a professional-looking, full-featured site that
is easy to maintain (the
Premium Manager is amazing) and the reporting is great. We don't have a
web master, but I feel like our listeners would never know that. We
even
read thank-you's directly from the screen.
"A plug? Sure. Could it better? Sure, and PI has
been really responsive to our suggestions. I like the relationship.
Call me if you need more convincing."
"The best part is the email notification. One goes
to me and one goes to our contact in the University Foundation...we
have a blast calling each other when we get a big pledge."
- Steve Yasko |
General Manager, WTMD, Baltimore
Streaming
The quality of the streaming signal is superior! I honestly think PI has one of the best signal streams available. As a matter of fact, this is one of the things our members and listeners comment on the most.

Director of Promotions | High Plains Public Radio
Public NewsRoom
"Public Newsroom allows us to maintain a professional online newsroom despite our small staff by offering a wealth of news content that is automatically updated. Combined with the local content that we post ourselves, our audience can use our online newsroom as a reliable and substantive news source." "
- Karen Tricot, News Anchor/Reporter
|
KUAR-FM, Little Rock, AR
"The Public Newsroom has become a crucial part of our web site and is the
perfect extension of our news department. The publishing tools make it easy for
our news staff to maintain local headlines and locally produced features,
making our news section dynamic and fresh. The professional appearance and
seamless integration with our existing site has made Public Newsroom a crucial
element in our web presence that we could not do without."
- Jason Ulrich, Director of Interactive Media |
KWMU-FM, St. Louis, MO
Public Events
"We
have found the Public Events module of Public Interactive to be a very
well-thought-out and user-friendly service. In recent months Public
Interactive has made some very useful enhancements and it's much more
flexible, especially for small markets."
- Cleve Callison, General Manager | WMUB, Oxford, OH
"WTMD has nothing but great things to say about Public Interactive. Events and Quick Pledge are worth the investment alone!"
- Steve Yasko |
General Manager, WTMD, Baltimore
"The KAMUnity Events calendar wouldn't be possible
without Public Interactive. We have a user-friendly site that supports
our community and saves us time and energy. Plus, we have a great
looking web site that has it all -- local, national, and international
news, arts info and more. Thanks, Public Interactive!"
"Our experience has been very positive! Our site
looks good and they were willing to work with us to make sure that we
were happy with the end results. Public Events is worth its weight in
gold as far as I'm concerned. Our station web site is now "the" place
to come to find out what's happening in our community....and our
listeners do the work! The site is very friendly and easy to use. Plus,
Quick Pledge is so much better than what we had. It's easy to put your
premiums up which is a great service to our cyber-pledgers."
- Penny Zent, Station Manager |
KAMU, College Station, TX
"Thanks to Public Events, our online calendar --
Culture Connect -- is truly the one-stop resource for arts and cultural
happenings in Connecticut. Public Events has facilitated our
partnership with the Connecticut Commission on the Arts and has
provided the tools necessary for local organizations to submit events
at the Culture Connect web site."
"Public Events makes Culture Connect possible with our current staff and resources. It's a tremendous community service."
- Harold Kramer |
Vice President, Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc.
JukeBox
"WNKU started from scratch and talk about acceleration.
With JukeBox, we went from zero to podcasting (six different program
series) in two weeks!"
-George Zahn, WNKU, Highland Heights KY
"Public Interactive has hit it out of the park again!
The Jukebox is easy to use, visually enticing and best of all, an
addition to our new media arsenal. WTMD is big on podcasting but short
on staff we're grateful to Public Interactive because they've increased
our public service without increasing our staff time!"
- Steve Yasko, General Manager
WTMD Baltimore, MD
