National Public Radio will air this story starting THURSDAY MORNING at the following times:

FIRST TIME: 2:40 am PST

SECOND TIME: 4:40 am PST

THIRD TIME: 6:40 am PST

FOURTH TIME: 8:40 am PST

It will be part of Morning Edition.

It will also be posted to NPR's website: http://www.npr.org

I know that Morning Edition doesn't air on the Pacific Coast until 5am (4am in some areas).... so I don't think you'll actually hear the story on OPB those first two times and would actually have to stream it to hear it then but will ask for a clarification on that and post it here... but most people on the west coast though won't be up that early!

In case you haven't been following this important story, see these newspaper articles:
