They used to have big problems getting a program to start on time, playing without public service announcements running simultaneously, skipping segments, dead air, etc. It was awful. They're doing much better these days.<br /><br />FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600560384355436278.post-91070154744403288802015-09-11T11:05:07.728-07:002015-09-11T11:05:07.728-07:00Hi- thanks for answering my question about secreti...Hi- thanks for answering my question about secretive WNYE. As I understand it, WNYC's largest listening audience is during Morning Edition, Brian Lehrer Show, and ATC in the evening. Unlike the other public radio stations, WNYC has at least three ten day fund raising segments with endless interruptions. With this listening alternative, other than online, I would think it might cut into their efforts to pay those bloated non-profit salaries that you posted. I hope WNYE might push WNYC to step up its quality of programming.<br /><br />Fred from NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600560384355436278.post-21646064394644068972015-09-09T12:34:16.937-07:002015-09-09T12:34:16.937-07:00FWIW, unlike NPR, there are market exclusivity rul...FWIW, unlike NPR, there are market exclusivity rules for PRI-produced programs, which includes "The World". I don't know all the details, only that it's *possible* for a single licensee to tie the primary, secondary, and tertiary rights to a particular PRI show if they air it on multiple outlets (possibly also at multiple times). I know this because...IIRC, and admittedly my memory is fuzzy...at one point WXXI had tied up all the rights in the Rochester market to A Prairie Home Companion between WXXI AM, WXXI FM and WRUR, so that was one reason why WEOS couldn't air APHC despite being well outside of Rochester, we were still part of the Rochester market. Not that we wanted to air it anyways, but we couldn't even if we wanted to.Aaron Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971835990882097517noreply@blogger.com
