NPR DAY
It was on this day in 1971 that National Public Radio, the U.S. national, non-commercial radio network, was born.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting financed National Public Radio so we could, once again, have the thrill of live radio. Listeners turned to NPR for cultural programs, news, information and quality entertainment programming. Award-winning programming such as All Things Considered, NPR’s premier newsmagazine, presented uninterrupted, informative reports on business, economics and the world, in general -- and still does.
NPR’s most popular shows also include: Talk of the Nation, fascinating and thought-provoking discussions on the day’s issues and what’s behind the headlines; NPR’s Performance Today, a daily portrait of what’s happening in the world of classical music; and Car Talk, starring America’s funniest auto mechanics, the M.I.T. educated grease monkeys, Tom and Ray Magliozzi. NPR also produces and distributes some of America’s finest jazz programming.
National Public Radio was formed to educate, entertain and inform in ways that were not available elsewhere. It was and is the audience’s alternative to commercial radio. Today, NPR’s satellite-based radio network of almost 600 member stations broadcasts NPR-produced or acquired programs to 13-million listeners in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
1927 - Francis E.J. Wilde of Meadowmere Park, NY patented the electric sign flasher. It said , “Eat Here, Get Gas” -- Dunno, but probably close.
1933 - The United States Mint was under the direction of a woman for the first time. Mrs. Nellie Ross assumed command.
BDAYS:
1469 - Niccolo Machiavelli
philosopher, writer: The Prince; died June 22, 1527
I'd venture to say this is on the bookshelves of most Neocons
1920 - Sugar Ray Robinson
International Boxing Hall of Fame middleweight champ: only boxer to win world title at one weight five times; died Apr 12, 1989
1933 - James Brown
The Godfather of Soul: singer: Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag, Please, Please, Please, I Got You (I Feel Good), It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World, Living in America; Rock and Roll Hall of Famer [1986]
1968 - Deborah Caprioglio
Miestre Italy, actress (Big Game Hunter)
