NPR has had corporate sponsors for as long as I can remember, but no advertising. Often the NPR content is confused with the local NPR affiliate. The affiliates buy the content from NPR -- how they fund the purchase is up to them. Some of these stations sound a lot more commercial than others, but this is a local decision, not one from NPR. The same is true of PBS. Our local PBS affiliate has been running actual ads for several years now.

Corporate sponsors = commercials.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to get on my MoonCycle and fly to work.
 
Too late. NPR is already slanted and may be beyond salvaging its image. Hopefully not. They have a lot of potential but their production style is way to creepy for me. I keep waiting for them to tell me to drink the kool-aid.

If they don't become too slanted they may avoid circling the bowl as Air America did.

I'm I the only one who can't figure out what this means?
