One small correction is that "As It Happens" is produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation...at least when they are not in the midst of a labour dispute as they are at present. Sandy -----Original Message----- From: swprograms-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Steve Coletti Sent: Thu 9/1/2005 6:28 PM To: Shortwave programming discussion Cc: Subject: Re: [Swprograms] Public Radio Confusion NPR - National Public Radio, headquartered in Washinton DC. Largely funded under grants from the Corporation For Public Broadcasting. Not directly realated to PBS, the Public TV network but some of the same people sit on both boards and there are news and information sharing agreemnets between the networks. APR - American Public Radio founded in 1983, a division of Minnesota Public Radio it split into 2 entities, APM and PRI in 1994. PRI - Public Radio International, a production co-operative between local Public Radio stations and also a public radio network that is basically in competition with NPR, however many PRI programs are distributed by NPR to their affiliates. PRI was made up from the network radio side of APR and The Christian Science Monitor's defunt radio network. BBC World Service programs are distributed by PRI which leads me to believe that they also have a chunk of it. APM - American Public Media is the production arm of Minnesota Public Radio. It produces programs such as "The Prarie Home Companion", "Marketplace", and "As It Happens", all of which are distributed by PRI. > -----Original Message----- > From: swprograms-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:swprograms-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter Bowen > Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 4:57 PM > To: SW Programs > Subject: [Swprograms] Public Radio Confusion > > > Would someone please explain, in detail if need be, the differences > between the U.S. public radio services NPR, APR, and PRI? > > Thanks. > > 73, > Peter > > _______________________________________________ > Swprograms mailing list > Swprograms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://dallas.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/swprograms > > To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to > swprograms-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe, or visit > the URL shown above. > _______________________________________________ Swprograms mailing list Swprograms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://dallas.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/swprograms To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to swprograms-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
