Re: click and clack



To my knowledge, Car Talk, for all of its commercial tie-ins (on the Web,
for example) is heard only on Public Radio stations. I doubt whether anyone
has figured out how to work the commercial and noncommercial sides of the
street as consistently, as effectively, and with as few repercussions as the
Magliozzi brothers. Thanks to Jane Christo's crusade against similar deals,
it appears, though, that Tom and Ray are the last people who will ever
harness the obvious possibilities for synergy between public and private
broadcasting. Jane has snuffed out the kind of entrepreneurial spirit that
has been eminently successful in bringing creative radio to an audience that
instinctively rejects commercial radio. Both Public Radio and the listening
public are the losers.
