There are more than a few NPR stations where the FM is classical  
music, and the AM is the News & information side of it.

I think the key of these is in Ohio.  I want to write Madision, near  
Cincinnati.

I don't see any reason some NPR station couldn't pick up an AM, move  
the News & Information programming to AM, and run music; classical,  
jazz, or whatever on FM.  Other than actually FINDING News &  
Information on AM, I was never bothered by it being on AM.

I didn't find NPR in Seattle for about a week.  The station is not in  
the reserved band.

I listen to NPR to see what the leftist enemy is up to.
