  Current.org | NPR's Kevin Klose profiled, 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Klose acknowledges that strengthening ties to stations was an early priority and remains one.
Klose still feels strongly about the mission of the government’s foreign broadcasting, which he believes contributed to the collapse of Communist regimes and the rise of democracies.
Klose attributes this in part to a bylaws change shortly after he came to NPR that installed the foundation’s chairman on the board of directors, integrating the two more closely, he says.

Klose didn't answer this question directly, instead noting that NPR's Western US affiliates were concerned about the interference that LPFM stations might cause with their translators in remote and mountainous areas.
Klose reiterated that it was the worry of Western NPR affiliates who use a lot of translators to reach remote mountainous areas that sparked NPR's objections, also claiming that initially he was cautious about their concerns.
Yet, regardless of how sincere Kevin Klose is about his affinity for the goals of LPFM, the fact is that the service has been eviscerated by Congress and effectively kept out of many of the dense urban areas where it is most needed.
