Well, I can't comment on what it is like to work in the business of
radio broadcasting. I can comment on the quality of programming found
on NPR stations, and to be it is well thought out, thought provoking at
times and generally enjoyable. I've also found some truly enjoyable
programs on small town radio stations. The number of stations found on
the dial is certainly a function of locality size, but quality
programming can be found in mosr markets - at least programming that
meets my requirements.

Your comments make me think of a restaurant or theater critic who has
been writing columns too long. Things that would pass by most
listeners loom very big in their eyes, nothing new compares to the way
it was once done, etc.
