Correction: If you tune in 93.1 in Miami, you'll get classical music station
WTMI. The correct frequency for WLRN is 91.3. By the way, has anybody noticed
that public radio stations always seem to be around 90 or 91 MHz? My own
experience in Miami, New York, Orlando, Chicago, LA, etc. have shown this, as
do the stations shown on the tuning table posted earlier. Whenever I am in a
city where I have never been before, I always tune in that area and always
manage to find a public radio station. If this is completely true, it makes the
tuning table unnecessary. Does anyone know a reason for this? Is it cheaper to
broadcast in that frequency range, or is there an FCC regulation?

A couple of things:

First, in Madison, Wisconsin, one can hear APHC on Saturdays at 5pm on
WERN 88.9FM.  In fact, you can hear it on just about any Wisconsin Public
Radio station in the state at that time.  If you miss it on Saturday, you
can hear it on Sunday at 1pm (approx... I'm not positive) on WHA 970AM.

Second, yes, the FCC has reserved all FM frequencies between 88 and 90Mhz for
use by public/community radio stations.  It does make it nice when travelling,
since you can find a public (if not NPR) station with relative ease.

The FCC reserves a small band (from 88 to 92MHz, I *think*) for non-commercial
stations.  This is not a hard and fast rule:  Older stations which were 
already operating in this band when the rule was passed (in the late sixties,
I believe) were allowed to continue, and I think that if a commercial station
acquires a non-commercial station, it may continue to use the frequency.
The rule only works one way: non-commercial stations may use any bandwidth
which they are able to obtain.  Some of this is explained in Lorenzo Milam's
wonderful, hard-to-find book, "Sex & Broadcasting," about how to organize
and operate a non-commercial radio station, and how to harass your commercial
competitors.
