Stations
For the most part, NWPR behaves like two large networks. Seven stations, based on KWSU, broadcast NPR news and talk. The other eleven, based on KRFA, broadcast a mix of NPR programming and classical music.

KFAE also broadcasts the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library's Evergreen Radio Reading Service to blind and handicapped listeners on its 67kHz subcarrier. KFAE is one of three major FM stations in Washington to do so; KPBX-FM in Spokane and KUOW-FM in Seattle are the others. However, this requires a special FM radio capable of receiving such broadcasts; it cannot be received on a standard FM radio.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“mourn
The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
