SOME ILL-CONSIDERED THINGS:

Some Things Considered (NY Times, 9/17/02)

Every devoted radio listener has experienced it at some time or another--a favorite station changes its format. The effect is unsettling. Last year, National Public Radio listeners in Lake Charles, La., experienced something even more alarming. The two affiliates that provided NPR programming were crowded off the airwaves by a new station owned by American Family Radio, a Christian broadcasting network owned by the Rev. Don Wildmon, based in Tupelo, Miss.

Why is it that the switch from NPR to Christian broadcasting should be considered "even more alarming" than say a switch from Top 40 to all Sports talk? Why is Christian radio "alarming" at all?
