please mail this info to pyuxjj!rlr.  Thanx.			Rich

Please don't mail the address of the nearest NPR station to
New York to rlr.  Post it instead and save me and a few others
the need to ask for a posting from hi.
(Sorry, rlr...)

1) NPR can be heard on WNYC AM/FM, from New York.   Approximate frequencies
are 92 FM, 830 or 970 (??) AM (I have the buttons set on my car radio so
I don't remember frequencies. The FM is just below WJLK-FM from Asbury Park.)

	The two stations have different schedules. FM plays mostly classical
music - it has All Things Considered from 5pm-6:30, and if it has Morning
Edition it must be before 8:00 AM.  I'm not sure about PHC.   The AM station
has Morning Edition from (?8am) to 9:00, followed by miscellaneous (Senior
Edition, some locals, and classical music later in the afternoon), ATC at
5pm and 8pm, As It Happens (Canadian Broadcasting
's program that inspired ATC,  a somewhat parochial (sorry, Canadians), but
very interesting program) at 6:30 pm.  PHC is Saturday evenings at ??6pm ??8pm?

2) Re: What is this weird group about?
Prairie Home Companion is a music and miscellaneous program put out ny National
Public Radio from the fictitious town of Lake Woebegone, Michigan.
