As far back as 1995, a group of community members looked at the services that NHPR ought to provide as New Hampshire's only state-wide radio network. That group concluded that the pressures of growth in this state and its effects on our schools, our land, our government and our economy placed a special burden on public radio to respond and to help citizens be informed about critical issues. The crises over education funding and ethics at the state supreme court underscore how very real the forces of change can be. Changes in New Hampshire have not been our only consideration. CD players in cars are now common place.
Cable services offer dozens of audio-only music channels.
This year, two new satellite services come on-line. A brief guide to these sources of music is available here. We understand that you may disagree. Please let us know what you think.
