Use to be that you had to relocate your radio in several nooks and crannies of the house and in several angles to pick up National Public Radio. Signals from NYC were difficult to hold in Stamford just 40 miles from the tower and after 8:00pm forget it.
Over the last few years things have changed and the FM and AM NYC stations were easier to get and did not require a contortionist body or foil on the antenna to hear Car Talk.
In the last 6 months things have changed yet again, The local Stamford station has gone NPR, the CT public station now uses the call letters NPR. There are NPR outlets on Long Island, Rhode Island and I'm sure the Virgin Islands. I never thought I'd say this but I am on This American Life overload.
When caused this embarrassment of riches, and this be careful what you wish for situation?
Can you have too much of Prairie Home Companion? In the words of Sarah, no fan of Public Radio, Palin, You betcha!
