A Story from our agency:

NET Radio Offers In-Depth News, Inspiring Music and Compelling Commentary. In-depth coverage is one characteristic that sets NET Radio and NPR apart from commercial radio broadcasters. Our reporters delve deeply into the stories, so listeners get a comprehensive report rather than a flashy sound byte. This in-depth reporting is a hallmark of the new NET News "Signature Stories," a new initiative in 2011 at NET Radio. In addition to NET News, Morning Edition and All Things Considered, NET Radio also offers a variety of music programming to suit every taste, from classical and jazz to Celtic and Big Band. Plus, there's compelling talk shows and humorous entertainment on programs like This American Life, A Prairie Home Companion, Car Talk and Fresh Air. The support of thousands of individuals and businesses across Nebraska makes each and every one of these local programs possible.
