When I first started reading this, I thought this was to be the  
recently announced new NPR morning drive program targeting the same  
demographic.  Part of the new Sirius two year agreement with NPR was  
to make this new program available to Sirius subscribers.  Now after  
reading the entire article, I'm not so sure.  Perhaps PRI has run  
this announcement out to preempt and compete with NPR's effort?  PRI  
content is now heard mostly on XM; so will this program go there too?

A bit confusing and, if this is indeed a competing effort, is that  
the best thing for public radio in the US?  (Just posing a question.)
