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

• provide detailed information about public broadcasting to Congress and the Federal Communications Commission
• 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 CPB calculate the next fiscal year's Community Service Grants for grantees. All CPB-supported grant recipients must complete the SAS survey in order to receive the second Community Service Grants payment.

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