Post Subject: What's a station?Posted by clarkjohnsen on: 12/24/2009

Channel 4 may handle CBS programming, but is it "a CBS station"? Yes for the programming, but No for the ownership. CBS does however own several stations outright.

WGBH purveys a considerable amount of NPR programming -- in fact they originate a good deal of it too for the whole network. One must assume that NPR approves of the change to mostly-talk, as that furthers their propaganda agenda. Music is useless for that.

WCRB now plays music recorded at WGBH (which is good) and also a few programs from American Public Media (as does GBH). But insofar as that station also now provides material for APM, the PTB (Powers That Be) have discouraged CRB/GBH from local broadcasts that they can't re-carry, like the BSO.

PS On a different note, the "CRB chuckle" has been traded in for the "GBH chirp". Feh!
