Isn't that like saying that CBS is a content provider? Obviously the big parent company is the one providing content for the local stations.

- nashashmi 7y agoLocal stations can also sponsor their own content and get content from sister stations. Content providers don't always have stations. They have affiliates.
- wahern 7y agoNPR isn't the only content provider. There's also Public Radio International (PRI) and American Public Media (APM), both of which were apparently founded by several public radio stations. And many public radio stations produce and syndicate their own shows independently. Suffice it to say, NPR doesn't own any of these companies or stations.
- dredmorbius 7y agoJust to fill out the confusion roster, there's CPB, NPR, APR, PRI, and PRX, at least: CPB: Corporation for Public Broadcasting. NPR: National Public Radio. APM: American Public Media. PRI: Public Radio International. PRX: Public Radio Exchange. I won't go into histories and distinctions, but those are the major organisations within the US.
