NPR Member Stations shall provide ONLY [emphasis added] nonsectarian, non-political, noncommercial educational content on all broadcast channel(s) and related media distribution platforms such as member partners that use the NPR member brands.

Good. Maybe they'll go back to playing classical music (which they do well) and travel/informational programs (which they also do well).

Bottom line is that we need to start holding them to that policy: as painful as it might be, we should start listening and then start throwing this policy in their faces the INSTANT a member station airs something that even approaches politics.

Actually, if they’d just go back to eight hours a day of classical, jazz and opera music...I’d be fairly happy with the organization and not say much negative.

I can remember as a kid...listening in the evening to my regional station in Alabama, which was the only place you could get any classical music. Today? In an entire day, you will be lucky if you can find one hour of music. I think most folks are tired of this wannabe news format, which barely has any substance whatsoever.
