Re: [Swprograms] Trojan horses (link corrected)

Consumers rarely distinguish who they listen to by public vs. private
sector.  You have a given number of hours per day to fill the space
between your ears.  That space can be filled with MP3s, CDs, DVDs,
Yahoo! Launchcast, Howard Stern, the BBC, NPR, CBC, Classic FM, DW,
Radio Australia, Rush Limbaugh, CNN, BSkyB, whatever.  All of these
are, legitimately, BBC competitors.

The only way people know NPR is on public radio is by the begging.

When asked why they listen to NPR, I assert their answer would be
"because it's good radio", not "because it's public radio."
