Welcome back APR

     I've been without my early morning dose of the BBC on the way to work each morning since just before Christmas, when something damaged the Alabama Public Radio antenna broadcasting 88.3 to the Montgomery area.
     And while there are two other NPR affiliates that serve the area (From Troy University and Alabama State University), neither of them carry the BBC overnight. Plus their scheduling of other NPR and PRI programs varies, so it has been a long month.
     Finally 88.3 is back, though APR notes on its website that they are broadcasting on reduced power.
     People get into habits with media. They'll watch the same TV news program for years strictly out of habit, and radio too, Sometimes it's because the program has maintained its image, like 60-Minutes, other times not so much.
Tick Tick Tick Tick.
