Personally, I don't see it. "All Things Considered", IMHO, has quite a bit
of humor to it. Heck, "Marketplace" has got to be the funniest business
show on the air.

Ah, now this I can see. One of our stations here in St. Louis has a
programming manager who is certain that all science fiction is bad and no
one will watch it. If you like an SF show that's on their channel, just
record everything on VCR (yeah, it's a drag changing tapes every six hours),
but you pretty much don't have to worry about the time TV guide or their web
site says it will be on, because it definitly won't be on then. I missed a
lot of Babylon 5 thanks to that yo-yo.

That's how I feel about top-40 radio.
