I keep hearing that the bonds between NPR and the regional stations must evolve, and today I see that npr.org guesses that WVPE is my regional station--correct--and places a big WVPE logo and link on prime top-of-the-page real estate right next to the NPR logo on the network's home page. I guess this means that a regional station is going to need to have a website worth return visits. And that has to mean more than just syndicating national shows--it must mean regional news, say, or music, or political talk, with an emphasis on regional. It means that the regional stations are probably going to be under some pressure to publish as well as broadcast. There may be new opportunities for community media production partnerships. It should be interesting.
