WUNC, my local station, is nearly all news and information. They broadcast the North Carolina Symphony concerts once a month. Other than that, all of the music programming they have is folk and blues programming. During the summer they also sponsor monthly free outdoor concerts featuring North Carolina folk and roots bands and performers.

I hear what you are saying John. WUNC is housed at UNC-Chapel Hill. I think they use a number of student interns but there are no student-hosted shows. Still, it is the news and information that I most value.

We have another public radio station, WNCU, on the campus of North Carolina Central University in Durham that is primarily a jazz station. They do continue to have student DJ's.

I also contribute to West Virginia public radio, which has a tiny budget compared to WUNC, That shows up in that nearly all of their daytime programming is classical music. Ain't nuttin' wrong with classical music, but your average West Virginian is not likely to tune in, which means they are also not likely to tune in to the news programming, which is much, much better than news offered on commercial stations. West Virginia public radio produces "Mountain Stage" and also has a nice folk and roots show called "Sidetracks" that is all "folk." On the website, the show's producers solicit recommendations and submissions of tracks and artists to consider for their programming.
