You mean Jane Christo DOESN'T actually run all of NPR?   ;-)

Seriously though...good point there, Larry.  For that matter, I believe H&N 
is not distributed by NPR at all, is it?   It's not listed on NPR's site, 
although The Connection (which is an NPR show now) is: 
http://www.npr.org/about/programs/allnprprograms.html

I don't think H&N is really "distributed" at all, is it?  WBUR pays to put 
it up on a satellite but that's more for NHPR than anything else I'd 
imagine.   AFAIK if there are any other stations/networks carrying H&N 
beside WBUR & NHPR...it's fewer than half a dozen transmitters.
