Not enough people dive into high-risk pools | Marketplace From American Public Media

Given the North Carolina part of this story, you'd think someone at WUNC would have the 30 seconds required to link it from the WUNC home page? Or the few minutes needed to decide which of these search results would help explain more of the story? http://www.bing.com/search?q=high+risk+pool+insurance+north+carolina&FORM=Z7FD

WHDD Radio in Sharon, Conn., Is an NPR Minnow - NYTimes.com

What a thought-provoking contrast with WUNC. What do you imagine....is their budget a bit smaller than WUNC's? With the exception of the State of Things, and maybe Back Porch Music, does this one sound like any other public radio station? In other words, what's North Carolina or more local about WUNC other than those two programs? Agricultural extension agents? Don't think so.

6,000 - 800,000

On one level, it's impressive that they miraculously claim to have gotten about 6,000 people to pay or pledge about 800,000 or about 125-150 each. Think about how many people subscribe to the News & Observer - that's about 175,000 paying about 200/year.

With cable television networks focusing attention on events today in Egypt, a quick look at the WUNC website would make wonder if there was anything going in the world other than a "Deadly Bat Fungus Found in NC", however important to the bats that may be.

750,000

Not sure if this appears as the goal of their current travel and event auction on the wunc website. They claim they have under 300,000 to raise by Friday, and it always quite amazing that they seem to reach their number, or exceed it. 3,500 pledges so far? Again, another figure that I don't recall seeing on the WUNC website.

Where are the stories on the WUNC website about the people who have won trips and rewards, and about the events to which people have purchased expensive access? Did I miss them? Is that all make believe?
