| No it doesnâtâalthough there was a time when you could hear NPR on shortwave via AFRTS stations. 
 
 The relevance of the article to this list about Shortwave Programs is the change in listenerâs habitsâThey led to a decline in shortwave and now other terrestrial broadcasters may suffer the same fate. 
 
 Iâm fine with it if you feel otherwise. 
 But NPR has NOTHING to do with shortwave!  On Monday, April 11, 2016, david goren < shortwaveology@xxxxxxx> wrote: âitâs related to a big picture view of the decline of terrestrial radio including shortwave. Interesting piece. 
 And what does NPR have to do with Shortwave radio? I view this as off topic and not appropriate for this group

"A slow-moving bureaucracy. An antiquated business model. A horde of 
upstart competitors. Can National Public Radio survive?" 
 
An interesting look at the antiquated US public radio in the midst of 
overall declines in terrestrial radio. I don't know if I agree that 
podcasts are a reason for the declining NPR audiences. (Despite living 
on the internet since 1993, I just don't care for podcasts, past or 
present.) In my opinion, the program content and presentation is 
stupefying dull. Your mileage may vary. :)
