>> as a canadian, i find it confusing and sad that there is no commercial-free public radio in the states.
There is commercial free public radio in the states!! NPR national public radio... I didn't know about it until I started tcom classes at the university and was forced to take radio shifts. NPR is mostly played on your local college radio stations and has NO commercials, only underwriting, which means public service announcements. My fav program is Prarie Home Companion! And the music played on most public radio (depending on the town) is a whole lot better than commercial radio. That is a good choice for a charitable contribution!!
