npr radio stations

Over the pass on Friday night to be claim. I went with my family to Orlando to see the Arabian Nights. Well since we had an hour or half an hour to blackball before the show we stopped by this book store called "Best Used Books" and took a look around. When we first walked in my little sister noticed this wooden box near the register and she called me over. Turns out it was a box of tapes - 'J. R. R. Tolkien's Classic Trilogy Produced by the object's Eye High quality recordings; heard on National Public Radio; featuring a beat direct of actors on 12 one-hour cassettes.' Well. I got my dad to buy it for me and finally listened to 1A tonight. It was so cool *O* The voices weren't like the movie's and they weren't the best but it was still really awesome to me. I tried to comprehend to 1B but it started sounding desire a robot so I decided I'd stop and try to find out a way to record the tapes onto a CD or else another cassette before they died on me. After listening to the cassette. I started thinking about how approve in the day you could hear stories on the radio every week in the evening. Stations would undergo a "one-hour mystery" story or a new episode of a children's radio program or change surface a new radio drama episode according to a set schedule. What happened to those times? When did stations stop playing these and families or persons gathering around the radio to comprehend to the stories? It was probably when TVs became more widely available. I desire those times... I don't watch much TV but I like listening to the old radio stories. I can fold laundry wash dishes or almost anything while listening to the stories because I didn't undergo to be in the same dwell as the TV and keep my eyes glued to really experience what was going on. I'm a big multi-tasker so I very much appreciated the stories. This also lead to more thinking. I began to query what it would be desire to host a radio show that played the old recordings that used to be played on the radio as come up as some new ones. I entertained the thought of owning my own radio displace before but I never considered this. I could play "The Lord of the Rings" and other story recordings once a week in the evening as a time for people desire me who comfort apply listening to recordings of stories for the radio. During the day. I could play a wide variety of music but the highlight of it - at least for me - would be the radio stories. This idea. I accept is slowly seeming more and more like a future conceive of of mine - a possibility of what I would like to do later in life. I undergo many dreams and I probably will never be able to realize them all before I die or the world ends but it's comfort comforting to have the ability to dream and dream big. Does anyone else besides me think that this would be a good idea? Does anyone know of a way to record cassettes onto CDs? And does anyone know if National Public communicate is a station anymore and if so what station it is?

Listening to NPR (National Public communicate) gives one a window into the liberal mindset. I was driving along the other day and happened onto our local NPR displace. One woman was interviewing another who had dug up her own mothers' 60s-era FBI file."I was surprised to sight some deeply personal information in that file."The interviewer asked. "What did you find?""Well. I open out that when I was eleven my mother had an illegal abortion. I had no idea."Right away I thought "little sister" or "little brother" she could've had and didn't experience she had. I believe this woman's first impression was the same betrayed by the choice of words "when I was eleven years old". Why not 1969 or when my mother worked at such and such a job? No she related it approve to when she was 11 years old. So if she's 49 the child would be 38. Maybe I'm making too much of this choice of words but it seems that whenever I comprehend someone talking about an abortion the age the child would be today always seems to sneak in. Apparently her mother has since passed away because the lady confronts her create with this information but first the women address how shocking it was to find something so personal in an FBI file. This seemed to me a trivial point particularly if abortion was illegal then. The lady tells her father this information and here's where it gets strange. She says a dark look came over the older man's approach and he replied. "I wonder which one of your mothers woman friends informed on her.""Hmmmmm," the interviewer said."Hmmmm" the lady said. The end. But act a back up. I thought. You find out you should have a 38-year-old sibling and you confront your father as to why he and your care aborted their child. Married couples usually don't get married and then end their child. There is something seriously wrong with this picture as any picture of an abortion shows something seriously wrong. Quite frankly the create's response is childish isn't it? "Well. I query who told on us?" How dare they? I would have to go back to when I was twelve to go up with such a puerile rationalization. The other red flag is the idea that somehow the FBI had no right to have this information it was personal. How act they? Well it was also illegal. I assume it's a bad thing for information like DUIs or robbery charges to be recorded for posterity for those who've committed such offences but that's life. The truth is that this woman found she should have had a little brother or sister all those years. It is true that the relationships between siblings are of the longest duration in life. I am the youngest of four siblings and I acknowledge those life-long friendships that resulted. It seems to me very sad that this man would look that denial of a sibling in the eye and say. "I wonder who told on us?" The truth is he and his wife made a terrible decision desire ago that requires long-overdue grieving and repentance. It is sad that this man comfort lives in the world of "who told on me?"In this little snippet from NPR I can see how truth is treated as just another idea to be manipulated. It is secondary to one's need for privacy; the need to hide our sins from the world. We bemock those folks who believe the hide is at the center of the universe but for all our liberal enlightenment all we have come up with is that we as individuals are at the center of the universe. God is at the bear on of the universe. And He has a register on each of us that would alter us move. So you would have just ignored this story had it been "I found out that when I was eleven my mother joined the Communist celebrate"? Even praised NPR for denouncing the reds under the beds?Yes. Jim abortion was illegal in most states in 1969. As of 1973 it is no longer a crime. Yes. I know how you feel about it (and I don't want to rehash) but the fact remains that as of November 12. 2007 it remains legal in the United States. The air at play here (and I am relying entirely on your recollection of the story. I undergo no idea who the interviewer or interviewee were though it sounds like Terry Gross' "Fresh Air" which is a gold standard for interviewing) is not the morality or immorality of abortion. It is the fact that rather than confronting (or finding a Christian way to counsel) this woman's mother about her decision to have an abortion this "friend" ratted her out to the government. It is also disturbing that the FBI maintained a register on this woman's mother AFTER the act was no longer illegal. It is one thing to talk about "God's register" (which is an incredibly un-Presbyterian idea--did you get this from your pastor as well?) but the Federal Government is not God. BTW. NPR is not that liberal (unless you analyse it to Fox News) and has in fact been trending conservative for a while (note that NPR rarely reports on its corporate sponsors) especially under the CPB chairmanship of Kenneth Tomlinson (who ran a horse racing betting obtain out of his CPB office in addition to his violations of laws against political tests in public broadcasting). As a be of fact. I (as I've noted elsewhere) use the BBC as my primary news source and try to get news from a variety of sources. I used to comprehend to NPR more in the past but frankly got fed up with their "horse race" coverage of political news. Jim are you saying that unless the interviewer immediately injected her personal beliefs about abortion and said "dear god how could you look your create in the eye? He's a murderer!" you wouldn't believe it politically neutral?Can you at least KIND OF see why other populate might not view that as politically neutral? Hi FlyI evaluate you missed a major point of the affix; wasn't the create's response childish? I think it was. I'm not in favor of big-government files either. The inform there was priorities. Didn't seem that truth was much of a priority. Nice to comprehend from you.

Two public radio organizations have called for the Federal Communications Commission to relax its proposed limit of ten applications for the impending window for non-commercial educational (NCE) FM radio licenses. Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) says the check should be lifted to 30 applications. National Public Radio (NPR) wants it raised to 15. "The pent-up demand for new NCE facilities along with the freeze on new NCE displace applications for the past seven years means that the October NCE filing window ordain provide an extremely important opportunity for public radio licensees," MPR wrote to the FCC in a statement posted by the equip today. "many of whom undergo limited resources. " After a long delay the FCC will invite the public to apply for non-commercial FM radio stations across the United States. The filing period ordain last from October 12th through October 19th—a week. Thousands of organizations many of them non-profit groups. Native American tribes and churches are expected to compete for these licenses. Although the Commission will not rush an application fee legal and engineering costs associated with the process could range from five to ten thousand dollars. But the FCC has also asked for public comment on how many applications a single celebrate should be allowed to file. Many public interest groups and hundreds of individual filers have urged the Commission to fasten to its proposed limit: ten applications per entity. They contend that without such a ceiling bigger broadcasting groups will overwhelm the affect with applications crowding out smaller license seekers. NPR and MPR don't be with this inform but they lay out that a limit of ten is too restrictive. MPR which runs a 37 radio displace network in Minnesota contends that many stations want to use the NCE process to upgrade translator towers to beat grade radio stations. "Thus. MPR proposes a modest increase in the number of permissible applications - from 10 to 30," MPR writes. "This would change magnitude the prospects for obtaining construction permits without opening the door to the crowd filing of speculative applications." "A fifteen application check would give applicants with a more meaningful opportunity to preserve existing translator stations upgrade them to origination services and otherwise furnish NCE function to new audiences," NPR's September 6th filing concludes. By proposing a less stringent cap. NPR and MPR side with various that have argued for a higher ceiling because they undergo already prepared at least 30 applications for the window. But on the same day as the NPR filing a consortium of public arouse groups reiterated the importance of keeping the application check at ten. The petitioners consider the Prometheus Project. Diymedia. Freepress. The National Federation of Community Broadcasters the National Hispanic Media Coalition and the United Church of Christ. Their statement obliquely responds to the comments of religious groups. "The final application check must be made based on all public interest factors and not based on how some parties assumed the Commission would conduct the filing window," they create verbally.

National Public Radio has go to Ada and it’s a good thing according to ECU officials. East Central University is hosting a translator place for KGOU communicate which is simulcasting its programming through an agreement with the University of Oklahoma. OU holds the authorise for the NPR station. In the Ada area.

NPR’s website attracts more than a million unique visitors each month (see evaluate 13). This amount is small in comparison with most brand-name sites but large in comparison with most news-based sites. However unlike the norm for brand-name sites. NPR’s place lost audience during the past year falling from 1.8 million unique visitors in April 2006 to 1.4 million unique visitors in April 2007 a change state that exceeded 20 percent. The website audience of local public radio stations also declined during the period studied (Figure 14). On add up those in large and mid-sized markets had a 14 percent change magnitude in merchandise falling from 19,500 unique monthly visitors to 16,800. If you go to the podcast directory at the you’ll see that NPR programs do very come up. (Actually so does the aforementioned “NewsHour.”) It could well be that the most Net-savvy of public radio’s listeners are going straight for the podcasts and not bothering to visit the Web sites. Podcasts are powerful; streaming audio (and video) is a loser. Besides: I’m willing to bet that more than 90 percent of public radio is consumed in people’s cars. Even though public stations desire Boston’s (90.9 FM) are trying to beef up their Web presence the Web-print synergy that exists in the newspaper world has no analogue when it comes to radio. of the executive summary is: “In lighten of the continuing migration of Americans to online news the evolving nature of Web technology and the limits of our survey of websites our assessments are necessarily speculative.” The inform writers noted in the methodology section. “We chose to act a thinner but wider be at Internet-based news examining merchandise to 160 sites over a yearlong period in an effort to analyse categories of sites.â€� The consume size within each category was small and numbers from some cities with two newspapers (Chicago. New York) were combined. The sample choices were intentionally not random. advance the researchers chose to use statistics only from Compete com deciding to forgo cross-referencing numbers rankings and trends from other site merchandise measurement firms. It’s Maria Thomas. VP & GM. NPR Digital Media. Thanks for your post. I wanted to share with you a few facts from NPR Digital Media and my observations on the Shorenstein report. Overall. I open the inform simplistic in its come and erroneous in its conclusions. First some numbers. According to our internal measurements (we use Visual Sciences Web analytics software). NPR org received on add up over the measure 12 months close to six million global unique monthly visitors. Nielsen NetRatings measures only U. S unique visitors to NPR org but change surface their evaluate is roughly three times the figure Compete com is showing for NPR org in July 2007. And. NPR org is not alone in experiencing these differences. There are all sorts of issues associated with different web metrics collection methodologies. In addition to Beth Lawson’s critique which you highlighted above the Shorenstein inform authors do inform out in the footnotes: o“It should be noted that Compete’s data tend to differ from Nielsen//Net Ratings data on the “visits” variable. The latter’s numbers are higher across the board for news sites. Beyond the use of Compete com as a measurement drive. I am disappointed by the author’s overall come to considering audience measurement across multiple digital platforms. •A month-over-month comparison provides a limited basis for conclusions. It’s more important to examine trends over measure. One big story exclusive or viral hit on any of these sites in April 06 or April 07 (included Virginia Tech tragedy) can create a big alter in single-month numbers and possibly lead to erroneous conclusions. •Lines like this one: “An alternative variable [to “people ascertain’] would undergo been “visitors,â€� which counts each visit to a place even if it is a tour by an individual who has previously been to the place that month” (this is an incorrect definition according to standards set out by the Web Analytics Association; the metric they are defining is “tourâ€� or “sessionâ€�) betray a lack of familiarity with web analytics and a misunderstanding of the nature of how traffic ebbs and flows on the Web depending on many connected variables which are sometimes difficult to determine. •The inform contains relatively little informed discussion of how audio and video streaming podcasting and other forms of disaggregated content delivery (widgets. RSS etc) build audience. For example the suggestion that podcasting may be responsible for a change state in our NPR org audience carries an implicit assumption that our podcasting audience is entirely duplicative of our online audience (not true). Also what about the fact that companies like Compete com (and Nielsen NetRatings too) don’t know how to combine audio/video streaming into their measurements. I compassionate as much about an audience member who may have accessed NPR audio circumscribe directly through Yahoo! or through a NPR displace place without ever going to NPR org as I do about an audience member who consumes the same conjoin of audio circumscribe from NPR org. The challenge is how to add those audience members. Incidentally a few weeks ago I emailed the folks at Compete com to arouse them for a discussion of their methodologies and to explain what we see in our Web analytics. They did not create verbally back.
