Oh yeah! You are exactly right. Now I remember hearing the Keane ads and they 
are not WUNC ads, they are NPR (I used to work at WUNC, so I know which stuff 
is from NPR and which is local). And the guy who always reads the NPR 
underwriting credits and overpronounces stuff is an NPR guy, not local.

Nothing WUNC can do about it.
