WHA in Madison has had live broadcasts of PHC.  They are *NOT* in
fundraising mode.  What I believe happens is that PHC makes available
tapes of these "fundraising" shows to the NPR member stations, so that
when fundraising time comes around they just play the tape, which has
lots of breaks in it for soliciting pledges.  I remember one time I
was really miffed because the local station was in its pledge week,
they played the PHC pledge week tape, but the live national broadcast
(which indeed DOES occur when individual stations have their pledge
drives - not all stations do pledging concurrently) had some people
on I *REALLY* wanted to hear.

Such is life when you want non-commercial radio.
