NPR debate: DK says "living wage" and NPR cues music
As soon as Dennis said the words "living wage," NPR cued up the music and went to break. Anybody else notice this?

1. Yes -
I was listening to the live feed on the computer. I switched to the local NPR and it came back.

6. FCC regulations
require that you announce the station identification once every half an hour, if I'm not mistaken, so, yes, there is a reason.

4. NPR Sucks......
.... and I've explained why so many times I won't bore everyone again.

Stop living in the past, the NPR we've known for years is long gone.
