This Facility is gone.
The Official NPR-based Thistle & Shamrock web site is where you want to go for up-to-date and actively maintained info about the program.
This page used to provide a way to find the (US) National Public Radio stations in your state that were known to carry the Thistle & Shamrock program. It was based on a list of about 380 stations compiled from 1993 through about 2002, mostly by volunteers. The full list is still accessible as a plain text file (about 30 Kilobytes), but was frozen in mid-2003 after being largely moribund for a few years.
The information in the text of the full list) may be freely passed on to others, provided this disclaimer and the source are both included and provided that the information derived from this page never be sold or traded. Give it freely or not at all.
I have NO connection with the Thistle & Shamrock, Fiona Ritchie Productions, NPR, WFAE, or any other radio station. I'm just a satisfied listener who for many years maintained this list for the benefit of others.
For radio programs airing Celtic type music other than the
Thistle and Shamrock, see Gerard Manning's list at
http://www.ceolas.org/pub/radio.list. (The info therein
pointing back at my list is out of date; the old "celtic" Stanford
system is long gone).
For more information on the Thistle and Shamrock, check out NPR's official web page on the program at NPR's official Thistle & Shamrock page. For additional Irish/Celtic resources on internet, check out my Irish and Celtic Thingies page.
The list on which this page is based is one that I started to maintain
back in 1993, when the UseNet newsgroup rec.music.celtic first got
started (it needed some content and this was my contribution). I used to
post a text version of it about every two weeks, and asked each time for
volunteers to let me know of new stations or changes. In mid-1997, the
program got its own web site, and over the years they've gradually
improved it to the point that my efforts here are no longer needed.
My thanks go to Gerard Manning for space on the Ceolas site from 1994-1999, and to Chris Morris for the gratis space on the Cornerstone server from 1995-1999; also Matt Mead for space on goof.com for many years thereafter. I would also like to thank the hundreds of volunteers who have sent in reports of changes to the list. Your efforts were appreciated by many listeners!
