MPR: Radio Listening: 89.3 The Current
If you have been longing for a real alternative to ClearChannel radio that plays a wide variety of music in a commercial-free format, you should check out the new MPR: Radio Listening: 89.3 The Current. It's the new MPR format, in addition to their news and information station and the classical station. I've been an avid listener to the news and information service for a while, and pretty much defaulted to my MP3's for music. Now, my radio will be playing actual music again. For those without reception, there's an AAC-plus feed online which sounds pretty darn good: way better than the WMA or RealAudio feeds.
This service has a seperate budget and seperate membership, so consider joining this station's membership. I signed up as a founding member today ($20/month). Support diverse local music! After all, it's worth more than your daily coffee isn't it?

I was recently interviewed by one of your reporters, her name is Mandelit, I hope I spelled that correctly. She was wonderful. We were interviewed with Laughter yoga on the beach in beautiful Laguna. I was wondering when this will be aired? My buisness is Dragonfly fitness, I teach strength and aerobic training with the fluidity of Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Kung-fu. I teach right on the beach, it's incredible. Please let me know when this will be on.
With much gratitude, Robert Layton.

Sorry, I'm just a listener to Minnesota Public Radio and don't have any contacts at the station. I do know from other experience (my father was interviewed for a piece), they generally don't tell you when it's going to air, but most stories are available for download from the website.
