Its been a quarter century since I lived in northern new england, but as I
remember Maine's NPR stations are all run pretty much as a single system.
That said, NPR is a collection of diverse local stations, most of which
their own programming. WFAE, one of my local outlets, runs to jazz and
talk radio. WDAV, another local outlet with less NPR sourced material, is
almost entirely classical (just a touch of news). The South Carolina
outlet just to the south of here (Charlotte NC) has yet another flavor,
but my reception is quite weak so I'm not sure what their mix is.
If you liked the mix from Maine Public Broadcasting, you might want to
search for them, as I have no clue what their various station call signs
are. Otherwise, I'm afraid you have a manual search for something worth
listening to.
FWIW, the car guys are "Car Talk" if memory serves.
Spent the whole afternoon getting NPR running on Rythmbox. I was
overwhelmed by the logic and simplicity of it all. I wish the
developers would stop that.
