Ms. Hunter is responsible for overseeing all of the operations of the Programming Services division, including oversight of over $180 million of programming and administrative funds. She is responsible for programming communications, including the production of live monthly teleconferences and the annual PBS Showcase conference. She acts as liaison to the Content Policy Committee of the PBS Board and, in that capacity, she is responsible for the annual evaluation of PBS Programming Services. Departments under her control include: Program Operations, charged with advising member stations about scheduling feeds, flags, captioning, etc.; Program Management, which works closely with producers to ensure programs meet PBS delivery guidelines; Project Management, which was created to maximize the value of high-priority programming projects by guiding them through the process from commission through broadcast - so that each receives maximum exposure; and Program Underwriting Policy which establishes and enforces rules that govern underwriting spots on public television programs. Two additional departments - PBS Research and Program Data & Analysis - were recently placed under her supervision. Before coming to PBS, Ms. Hunter spent more than 17 years at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting where she held positions in finance, contract administration, and programming. |
