It's pure coincidence that Santa Fe's public-radio station began its spring fundraising drive at about the same time as Albuquerque's public-radio stations.
KUNM 89.9 FM and KANW 89.1 FM, owned by The University of New Mexico and the Albuquerque Public Schools, respectively, began their drives recently.

Fans of National Public Radio (NPR) praise the programming: the high-quality news, the in-depth interviews, and the entertaining feature stories. NPR's drive-time broadcasts, MorningEdition and, in the afternoon, All Things Considered, are among the most popular radio programs in the US. NPR is a privately and publicly supported, not-for-profit organization that syndicates content from hundreds of public radio stations. It was incorporated in 1970. Ninety public stations were charter members, and programming went on the air the next year. The first NPR Web site was launched in 1994 and became a pioneer in offering streaming audio that let site visitors hear prerecorded programs.

Grammarians, I have a radio program for you. Unfortunately, it has become a little difficult to find, but it can be done. It's the BBC radio program "My Word." You will love the erudite accents and whimsy -- and proper grammar -- of the program's participants.
The panel show was broadcast weekly from 1956 to 1990 and can still be heard on many public radio stations.

It's time again for the periodic conservative Republican attack on public broadcasting. This time the attempt seems to have gone the furthest since Newt Gingrich's campaign in the 1990s. The House of Representatives voted this month to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as part of the $61 billion cuts in an appropriations bill to finance the government for the next seven months.
If the Senate should agree with the cuts, they would affect more than half of all Americans, who use public media every month through 368 public television stations, 934 public radio stations and the many community radio stations. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting helps fund them as well as National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service.

WASHINGTON - NPR, PBS and local public broadcast stations around the country are hiring more journalists and pumping millions of dollars into investigative news to make up for what they see as a lack of deep-digging coverage by their for-profit counterparts.
Public radio and TV stations have seen the need for reporting that holds government and business accountable increase as newspapers and TV networks cut their staffs and cable television stations have filled their schedules with more opinion journalism.
