Actually.... In the U.S. we have a *lot* more radio stations than you have in the UK. UK? I'm German. But never mind. ;-)
Here we have private radio stations and gouvernment funded stations. The latter have the obligation to provide culture and discourse, they play classical music, review books and plays, and they even produce radio plays. It has its perks, because if you listen to a commerical station you're bound to hear Dido's White Flag at least once every hour.
One of the commercial stations I used to listen to had a program called Nightline, that played independent labels and progressive rock, but that's a big exception (and it was only 2 hours per week).

Anyway, thanks for your help. :-)
