Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Wbur shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Wbur offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Wbur at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Wbur? Wrong! If the Wbur is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Wbur then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Wbur? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Wbur and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Wbur wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Wbur then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Wbur site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Wbur, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Wbur, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

WBUR are the calls of two stations in Massachusetts, WBUR AM and FM, both owned by Boston University. It is the largest of three National Public Radio member stations in Boston, Massachusetts. It produces several nationally distributed programs, including Car Talk, Here and Now (Boston), Only a Game, and On Point. It previously produced The Connection (which was canceled on August 5, 2005).

The station is owned by Boston University and identifies itself as "Boston's NPR news station." It was embroiled in a management scandal which resulted in the departure of longtime station manager Jane Christo in 2004. Christo had overseen WBUR's conversion to an all-news format, and had ousted WGBH from its longtime place as Boston's flagship NPR station. Despite a weaker signal than WGBH (40,000 watts to WGBH's 100,000), WBUR has been ahead of WGBH in the ratings by a substantial margin for over a decade.

WBUR carries its programming on two other stations on Cape Cod-- WCCT, 90.3 MHz in Harwich, Massachusetts and WSDH, 91.5 MHz in Sandwich, Massachusetts--via local marketing agreements. In 1998, the station helped launch WRNI in Providence, Rhode Island--the first NPR station within Rhode Island's borders. However, it has agreed to sell the station to a local group; the sale should close some time in late 2007.

WBUR programs Here and Now (Boston), On Point, and Only a Game are carried nationwide in the US on XM Radio's public radio station, XM Public Radio. The 3-minute comedy sketch program 11 Central Ave, aired on WBEZ Chicago Public Radio, is recorded at WBUR.

Era as a music station During the 1970s and 1980s the station had several jazz music and european classical music programs. The disk jockeys demonstrated much knowledge of composers, performers, and the execution of jazz. Namely, they were familiar with matters such as improvisation; and they shared this on-air with listeners. Noteworthy jazz and classical disk jockeys:

WBUR and the Middle East Conflict Since 2001, WBUR has lost more than $1 million in contributions due to a boycott launched by donors and underwriters who say NPR's coverage of the Middle East tilts against Israel. A Beautiful Friendship?, Washington Post, July 16, 2006 The boycott started in October, 2001, when two Boston-area businesses ended contracts: WordsWorth Books in Cambridge, MA, and Cognex Corporation in nearby Natick, MA. The two businesses are reportedly tied with the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), a persistent critic of NPR's coverage for almost a decade. NPR's pro-Israel critics punish WBUR, Current.org, June 3, 2006 This group, CAMERA, has demonstrated outside National Public Radio (NPR) stations in 33 cities in the United States.
