They originate here in Boston on WBUR, but I imagine a lot of other stations carry them. I think the best thing to do is ask her for the URL she listens to. You can also find a bunch of links by googling for "maine public radio". -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you not know? Have you not heard?

Maybe it doesn't exist, but if someone knows how to get any (North Easteren US -- I'm in Ottawa, Canada) FM station I would appreciate it. I think that this is controlled by the local stations which receive NPR feeds. For New York City NPR feeds, you can find the Internet radio links on WNYC's home page (http://www.nyc.org/) in the left column. Copy the link (right-click -> Copy Link Address) in the web browser, and then in Rhythmbox Music -> New Internet Radio Station and past the link in the Dialog box.

I'm not aware of a direct feed that is only NPR programming. But that doesn't mean there isn't one. You may want to check npr.org for a listing of stations. Locally (in Boston area) there's wgbh.org and wbur.org, both of which carry some NPR programming. -- --- .Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / // / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 Jude 1:24,25 - pgpEwPivd0MSz.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
