NPR has very little enterainment. PBS and such has a bit more to capture a wider audience. I don't think its so much that the college educated don't watch pbs as much as more non college educated watch pbs and don't listen to npr. These are percentages of the audiences. Given that I catch npr all the time as I only seek elswhere on the radio when in the car if I just don't like whats on npr but I sorta got to go outa my way to catch npr. Also you have to catch or stream later like the new hour but news on the radio is throughout the day every day including rebroadcast of bbc.

NPR member stations can vary pretty significantly on programming depending on your locality. One of the few things they have to have are the top of the hour six minute news segments.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
