Exactly, Art. My local "NPR affiliate" (KUOW-FM) is not just an "affiliate" of NPR. They get programming content from a number of news services, from American Public Radio, the BBC, and several others, including Minnesota Public Radio. AND they do some really great local programming. Steve Sher, Marcie Silman, and Ross Reynolds are some of the best interviewers there are in the business.

And Scott Simon on Weekend Edition Saturday is as good as they get.
