New NPR president; little known facts about cancer

Written by Scott LaMar, Director of Radio Smart Talk

Radio Smart Talk for Tuesday, December 20:

At a time when the audiences of most traditional medias have gotten smaller, the number of people listening to NPR affiliated radio stations grew throughout the last decade. More than 20 million, including tens of thousands of witf listeners, tune in to hear the latest national and international news on NPR each week.

Listeners say they like NPR because news is put into context analyzed and not just given the headline treatment. NPR also has 19 foreign news bureaus while other networks are cutting back on their international coverage.

Gary Knell, the new president of NPR will discuss his vision for the network's future on Tuesday's Radio Smart Talk. (Read Gary Knell's bio)

Lidtened to your "WITF dacing Cancer" together and do not think it is factual, but consists more of hearsay, in that the increases figures of skin cancers are from same source. Under those conditions, error happens in favor of profit. And we all know that those hugh growth in medicare pay-outs are increasing too fast, say 10%, which makes it suspicious to say the least. No need to answer this complaint, more of the same . . . it is already underway as PRIME in California. But it is rampant close by here too.
Thank you
