Arizona Public Radio

Returned recently from a cross-country road trip. Listed to a a lot of public radio in the car and I was particularly impressed with Arizona Public Radio across Northern Arizona (Flagstaff and other cities). There really wasn't a lot of difference between the local "sound" and the NPR "sound." Not only that, but in a relatively small market they are able to operate two networks across a fairly large area - and do it well. It's one thing for big operations like Minnesota Public Radio or Wisconsin Public Radio to pull this off but for a smaller operation, it seems exceptional. I read in an old post that they dominate local market ratings. That's impressive, too.

I'm out of area. I'm curious to see what local radio people have to say about them. How do they do it?

If anybody from the station trolls this board: Hats off.
 
Re: Arizona Public Radio / KNAU

If I understand your question, your are talking about:
http://www.knau.org/

KNAU really has a bunch of translators:

Yes, KNAU has a very well produced "sound" and a high quality of programming.
They sound professional like a big market big bucks station. They have a large following of listeners, including yours truly. I usually tune in for the early morning NPR News.
The big stick at 88.7 FM covers a lot of square miles by itself.
Hope this helps... :>)
