NPR Sacramento - Well there's a showdown coming in Sacramento. Hometown Capitol Public Radio (where I occasionally volunteer) is now going to be facing competition from San Francisco powerhouse KQED (to whom I actually pledge money, because their gifts are better). Right now, CPR is in a quandry, because they are only providing news during the day and jazz at night. Therefore, people like me would turn to KQED for evening news coverage, but plenty of people are upset that CPR is not playing jazz all the time. Will Sacramento be able to support two competing public radio stations?
