The World

[Dave Doherty]

>From http://www.theworld.org/stations/

"PRI's The World is a one-hour, weekday radio news magazine offering a mix 
of news, features, interviews, and music from around the globe. Launched in 
1996, PRI's The World, a co-production of WGBH/Boston, PRI, and the BBC 
World Service, airs weekdays over 300 stations across the United States and 
Canada."

That would seem to nail down WGBH's connection.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I happen to like the program.
