It seemed to me that after the spate of dispassionate public service-type 
announcements in the early am, KRPL and Z-FUN went dormant.  I learned 
the most from the country station at 1450 AM  (is that the station in the 
tower dispute?).  Only there did I hear the requests for volunteers 
in all our towns and where we should go to volunteer.  They were explicit 
about roads and travel, and they ran long interviews with local public 
officials.
I love NPR and don't love country music, so it was strange to feel the 
strongest sense of community from 1450.
