9. I don't get it either.

A couple of sitcoms on PBS, maybe a documentary or two, no problem, but Britannia ruling the airwaves all night every night in big urban markets creeps me out. Whatever happened to indy college radio? Most NPR stations here in Cali are run out of publicly owned junior college stations and it's all canned. Even the local Pacifica station gets it local news from Berkeley, which would be fine if wasn't as tepid and compromised as NPR. But at least it isn't London calling. We get three NPR stations where I live, more if you count mirror stations, and they all play the identical BBC propaganda all night. It's like we're being recolonized.
