No classic country nor EZ listening around here. There is modern country and classic rock up and down the dial. As for NPR, I can get WXPN and WRTI. The latter is half classical and half jazz. XPN is difficult to explain, but I hear lots of good stuff and “Echoes” four nights a week.
Total criticism of NPR for JUST the news program is very prejudicial. So many options of entertainment fall under that umbrella. It’s like saying ESPN ONLY covers football!
Jeez – can’t we listen to things and accept every story has more than one side? I take what I hear on NPR with a grain of salt but enjoy the depth of coverage. Not to mention “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” and other programming. And who didn’t love Click and Clack?
I’ll go for the 50’s, 60’s and EZ listening. 70’s maybe. But no country of any kind and absolutely no NPR. I’ll take a classical station and a Christian station instead.
Classical, Classic Rock 60s-70s, NPR, acoustic New Age, a little jazz…HATE most country except Bluegrass/Old Timey & Johnny Cash…won’t touch Easy Listening/Muzak because it reminds me of the dentist & gives me anxiety attacks…& don’t get me started on Jezak/Christian Contemporary/“7-11 songs” – bad music, worse theology!
When you are in the car – FM/AM radio: talk is too boring, country and western too whiny and prevalent, and definitely too much of whatever that is that supposed to be ‘music’ these days. I have Sirius: 50s, 60s, 40s, Beatles, show tunes, and classical – in that order so I can usually find something. I don’t know if we have a ‘classical music’ NPR, I never checked after they went to ‘talk’.
It’s getting close to the point that we, who grew up on music of the 80’s, can be called,“Pluggers”! (They call our music,“classic”, and use it in STUPID commercials!!)
Not a chance. Can’t stand country, and I have no time for NPR, either. My radio goes to the same rock station I listened to in college (one of the first progressive rock stations in the early ’70s), occasionally a classic rock station, and the stations that carry the Phillies, Eagles, and most importantly, the Flyers.
