It is the company's goal to reach coverage in every part of the United States. WFMU radio in New Jersey had spent over $400 million in legal fees to fight NPR over territorial conflicts.
NPR also broadcasts two of the most listened to radio programs: Morning Edition and All Things Considered. It is regarded as one of the most trusted radio broadcast news networks in the United States.
