I found one in Chicago, 88.9 FM. Problem is, the lightbulb in my lamp is a higher wattage than their antenna. Otherwise, it's Charter Digital Cable's "Origens", channel 903 in Madison. Not sure if that's the one on other systems. Gavin --- bi11i@yahoo.com wrote:
I've definitely noticed this on my local NPR station. I've heard Air, DJ Food, the Orb, Aphex Twin, and some FSOL. It's always seemed a little odd to me that they play these tracks as fillers or in little segways, but never play any of the full tracks in place of their usual classical stuff during the day. Has anyone ever tuned into or heard a radio station that plays mainly electronica?

Subject: [Orb] The Orb on NPR? Reply-To: orb@mailman.xmission.com
While driving to work today at about the 8
O'clcok
hour, the local NPR
station (Chapel Hill, NC) does their regular station id. I have been hearing this music in the background under the announcer and I swear it is little fluffy clouds, but not the album version. They play this sample quite a bit and the reason I think it might be the orb is because they have played stuff like Moby, DJ Shadow (new album out yet?) , Banco De Gia, etc.
Has anyone else who listens to NPR heard this or am I wishfully thinking? Thinking maybe the while station id is local, the music they get to play might be from an approved list blah blah blah.

The station IDs are indeed played and created by the station. They usually have a set of short clips that they use for these bits (if they're like our station in Lousiville they play the same ones over and over and over and over... and won't play mine!) but sometimes it is a song being played by the NPR show (like All Things Considered or Morning Edition) during the break. You should be able to contact your station's music director fairly easily to get the answer to the question.
Funny thing about NPR is it's the only station in this city that plays anything electronica-ish (this does not include the pap played on all the satellite radio stations like Janet Jackson and family).
