I guess the 9 times I copied it wasn't too bad considering it was a car
radio driving home. I'm sure with a better setup, many more could be
copied.

It's nothing compared to "Morning Edition" on the FM. Pretty much
wall-to-wall from 88.1-91.9



Or "All Things Considered" in the afternoon. NPR has a very high
presence
in the "educational channels" of the FM band. Since it is cheap for the
stations to carry them and it's a "public service", why not.

NPR is not cheap if you carry the news magazines. Well into 5 figures at
least.





None of the Public Broadcasting System publications or DVD's are cheap.
Namely to cover publication costs and whatever is left over becomes a
"donation". However, programming as a whole is fairly cheap compared to
commercial broadcasts. That's what I was trying to say.
