BUR-GBH

Boston's two big NPR affiliates will sound even more alike beginning
this week; WBUR-FM (90.9) is putting PRI's "Marketplace" back on its
weeknight schedule (the show was displaced after September 11 by
extended news coverage), slotting the business show at 6:30 PM - which
just happens to be the same time the show airs on crosstown WGBH
(89.7). WBUR and WGBH now run substantially identical programming from
6 until 8 each morning (NPR's Morning Edition) and from 5 to 7 at
night (All Things Considered, followed by Marketplace). 

Dave responds:
4 out of 24 hours a day doesn't appear to me to be sounding a whole lot
alike even if you don't take into account both stations have
substantially different local news coverage during those hours.
