It certainly has. It is a shining star in a broadcasting media landscape dominated by garbage catering to the lowest common denominator. I still have my tea mugs from WHYY in Philadelphia and I believe even from the NPR station in Tampa (where we lived until 1990). Sure, it was annoying to listen to the pledge drives, especially having made my pledge already, but it is a lot less annoying that having a program interrupted by commercials every few minutes, as is the case on regular radio and TV. After all, the pledge drives were only a couple of times a year.
