I’m still confused by Alan’s “clarification” of the matter

I don’t want to guess. I have no idea what they make nor where we told.

Mark: I have no idea what you are talking about. Where did I write that WBFO duplicates WNED-AM programming?

I wish, Alan, that you and the rest of the media would stop repeating a clear falsehood. WNED-AM duplicates programming that WBFO airs. It is NOT the other way around. WBFO first broadcast All Things Considered on May 3, 1971. WBFO first broadcast Morning Edition on November 5, 1979. WNED-AM came on board much later, in 1993. So, can the media please get this right? I’m not critical of WNED-AM. These are clearly great programs. And NPR research says the more stations that broadcast Morning Edition and All Things Considered in a given market, more listeners are reached. But again, the media need to get the story right. WNED-AM duplicates WBFO programming. It’s not the other way around!

I missed Mr. Saykin’s report. Did it appear the interviewees made > 100K/year?

It’s funny I don’t see Obama, or any of the media, telling us how much a week the national debt is costing us.
