To begin with, all NPR announcers and production staff are members of AFTRA. Quite a few NPR stations are also represented by AFTRA, including KUOW in Seattle. So it's not unusual. As we've discussed before, WBZ is a union shop.

It would be interesting to see if any other stations become union shops.
