#1 One of them is "Day to Day," which airs weekdays at 1 p.m. locally on WNPR. The other is "News & Notes," a show meant to appeal to African-American listeners that WNPR does not run.

"Day to Day" was aimed at a younger demographic. "News and Notes" as reported, to African-American listeners.

NPR's base of white, older donors will not be affected.

#3 I"m looking forward to the passing of the Fairness Doctrine where NPR and Air America will have to give up a half hour of ever hour to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. THat should prove interesting.
