Public Radio and the news in the State of Jefferson

Besides the wonderful scenery, one of the great things about living in the State of Jefferson is Jefferson Public Radio JPR) http://www2.jeffnet.org/ , a National Public Radio (NPR) afflifate http://www.npr.org/ and the station I volunteer for, Northstate Public Radio http://www.kcho.org/ which is KFPR 88.9FM in Reding and 91.7 FM in Chico

A while ago I got tired of newpapers and stopped reading them. I get about half my news from JPR and NPR and about most of the rest from the internet. My internet sources are many and varied but about 40% are "standard" outlets such as
CNN http://www.cnn.com/,
BBC World Services http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/index.shtml ,
the Asia Times http://www.atimes.com/index.html,
Reuter's News Servcie http://www.reuters.com/news.jhtml
and Assocated Press (AP) just to name a few a few.
But of course, my favoite and most reliable source of News is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart
http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/thedailyshowwithjonstewart/. I find it pretty sad that the only truly reliable news anchor is on a "fake news" show on the comedy channel!

JPR covers the entire state of Jefferson as shown on the map below and NorthState Public radio covers from the Oregon border to about the southern border of the State of Jefferson, but doesn't make it over to Humboldt or Mendocino county, as far as I know. The station has many, many 'translators' so maybe it does.

Living in an fairly isolated part of Far Norhtern California, I feel very fortunate to have not one but TWO great listener supporter stations. Now a days we have internet radio, but I'll leave THAT for another post!

Oh yeah, I STILL haven't found the spell check yet.
