It's probably not a good enough reason but I for one don't listen to
any radio stations other than public radio.  I occasionally give our
commercial classical music station a try but it's no WQXR and I quickly
turn back to one of the available public radio stations.  If Car Talk
were on a commercial station, I'd never have heard it or of it.
