The trashing of commercial radio has been a huge boost for NPR. Their audience is way up since the 1980s.
I also notice many more NPR stations have gone to a 'news/information' format in the last decade.
When I take a road trip, I often scan the AM/FM dial to see what's playing. It is indeed like a trip to
an alien planet. Between the commercial shouters, the bible thumpers and the right wing haters,
a grim planet, indeed. Then, when I find an NPR station it's like a trip back to sanity.
We are fortunate to have a strong local NPR station, which broadcasts news/information 90% of the time.
There's usually something worth listening to when I'm in the car.
