There is very little national advertising during our show, at least, and they don’t think that the advertisers would gain much from having a large worldwide audience. Shortsighted, I agree.

But, it is nice of Karen to share how zip codes work for Minnesota. I need to put that in the Minnesota Atheist announcements for each show. I am glad, also that you want to listen from Canada. We are fortunate that they don’t restrict access by only allowing U.S. IP addresses, which can be a frustration for international audiences.

I was really pissed that I couldn’t watch the Canadian broadcasts of the 2010 Winter Games, except when I was up in Northern Minnesota, where the cable lineup includes the CBC and CTV.

Still, it is weird that they make any kind of restriction to people listening to their radio station. Kind of rubs the fur the wrong way. Isn’t the idea to ‘broadcast’ your signal? Is there perhaps a regulation that would be broken if they allowed anyone to listen? I draw a complete blank on this one.

‘Listen to AM950 KTNF

Sorry, you must live in Minnesota to listen.’

Why does the station restrict to Minn.? Seems odd.
