The NPR member station you're listening to is distinct from National Public Radio, Inc. The former controls its own programming. Uri Berliner was employed by the latter.
- dhosek 3y agoA large fraction of NPR programming, particularly drive-time programming, comes from NPR. I’m pretty sure OP can distinguish between All Things Considered and What’s Up Spokane.
- crackercrews 3y agoLocal NPR affiliates also carry shows from other national organizations like PRI. It's not just ATC versus local programming. Many people think such shows are NPR even though they aren't.
- dhosek 3y agoYes, I know this quite well. But that’s not really relevant to the point the parent commenter was making. And the larger context of the discussion is news, and other than Marketplace, most public radio news coverage is either locally generated or comes from NPR.
- wwweston 3y agoYep. But I wonder if some of the people who are characterizing NPR as partisan/ideological can't distinguish between NPR programming and public radio stations carrying, say, Pacifica content.
