- I'm one, and I'm going through withdrawl. When I lived in NJ, I used
- to listen to Joe Frank on WFMU - boy I really miss that station. Now
- I'm in DFW, TX, and as far as I'm aware none of the stations around
- here play his show.
-
- I'm considering trying to persuade one of the local public/community
- stations to carry it (or reruns until he returns from hiatus), but I
- fear my lone voice will be ineffectual. Anybody have any
- recommendations on how I can bolster my case? For example, it would
- help to know how public/community stations decide what to pick up from
- syndication. If a station already carries something from NPR, is it
- easier for them to pick up other shows?
-
- I also checked with KCRW about getting tapes of his show, and I seem to
- recall they're about $11.00/show. That's too expensive a habit for
- me. Do you think any libraries would purchase it for their multi-media
- collections? I've done some searching around here, and all I've found
- locally is stuff from Garrison Keillor.
-
- Thanks for any help!
