I'm elated to see the switch

I've recently accepted a position at Miami University and I'm elated to see that you have made the switch to a 24 hour news and talk format. I became addicted to this format after being introduced to WUOM in Ann Arbor during graduate school and have continued to get my fix via KQED San Fransisco, during my time in CA. I will be donating and volunteering at your pledge drives, as I feel that NPR is one of the best investments that can be made toward maintaining a well informed public.

In addition, I'm happy to hear that you have made the jump to HD radio. While some may be hesitant at first, they will soon realize that digital HD radio will lead to greater diversity on the airwaves, as is already evident with the three WMUB options, due to its ability to carry many more stations within the existing government alloted bandwidth. It will be a great way for news addicts such as myself to coexist with the jazz and classical music aficionados.
