WASHINTON (MarketWatch) - National Public Radio announced it is
producing programming exclusively for PCs and portable media players.
The three original shows are distributed with an "alt.NPR" label and
feature news and interviews about gambling, classic rock music, and
creative work from young radio producers.
NPR also added 11 programs from its network and affiliate stations to
its podcast directory. The total number of available shows now is 189.

Producing programming just for podcasts is an ambitious step. A report
last week said NPR shows had been downloaded 4 million times in the two
months they have been available.
NPR's top programming, including "Morning Edition" and "All Things
Considered," are not available in podcast form. They were pulled from
Audible.com (ADBL) several months ago, where access was sold through
subscription.
