18. Religious stations, country music, and far right wing talk shows

That basically describes the radio choices in rural areas all across the country.

It's the reason I always have to laugh when posters here rip National Public Radio. That is totally oblivious to situational influence. NPR may not be perfect but it is dependably found on the same area of the dial all across the country and the only semblance of sanity when bombarded with nothing but the other three choices. I am always thrilled when I detect even a feint signal from NPR.
