DAN WARDLOW: WKAR was a big, in terms of staff and budget, public radio station, and WKAR produced a lot of original programming and distributed it on its own tape network at the time and at the same time was buying a lot of programming or getting a lot of shared programming on tape. So, it was sort of a natural development for a station that had 30 or 40 full time staff members, as well as a large part time staff, to want to take that step and be a founding member station for NPR, which WKAR was. I think there were 80 founding member stations and WKAR was one.
