Its been a quarter century since I lived in northern new england, but as I 
remember Maine's NPR stations are all run pretty much as a single system. 
That said, NPR is a collection of diverse local stations, most of which 
their own programming.  WFAE, one of my local outlets, runs to jazz and 
talk radio. WDAV, another local outlet with less NPR sourced material, is 
almost entirely classical (just a touch of news). The South Carolina 
outlet just to the south of here (Charlotte NC) has yet another flavor, 
but my reception is quite weak so I'm not sure what their mix is.

If you liked the mix from Maine Public Broadcasting, you might want to 
search for them, as I have no clue what their various station call signs 
are. Otherwise, I'm afraid you have a manual search for something worth 
listening to.

FWIW, the car guys are "Car Talk" if memory serves.
