Ah! well I think from your message you're referring to selectivity of the tuner when you talk about stations bleeding.
Well... (speaking of the Panasonic RX-ED50 which I mentioned in my post), I can tell you that you won't! get this problem, that Sony Boom-Box you're referring to sounds a very cheap and nasty product to me if its doing that.
The difference between digital tuning and analog? Well... digital tuning is far more accurate that is to say, if you wish to tune to a frequency of 1080KHZ, then that's exactly what the set or tuner is tuned to with no drift etc.
Digital tuned radios have had a problem of not being very sensitive though this is changing now with better designs, better sheelding etc.
An analog radio is tuned by a knob whereas digital tuned radios are tuned with buttons. To go back to the Panasonic set I have, to tune in a station, you use the up/down tuning buttons, these go up/down in 9KHZ steps (that's the standard frequency step for all Medium-Wave radio receivers outside the U.S.). When you hold down either up or down, the set goes into "SEEK" mode (that is, the set looks for a strong signal and locks onto it).
Once you've tuned a signal, you can assign the frequency to a memory or preset, the Panasonic boom-box I have has 24 presets and they can be recalled by either turning a dial (which clicks) on the top of the unit or by typing in the preset number on the remote control keypad.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

If I purchase a different boombox, than the Sony I bought, is it likely that I'll run into the same problem I have with this one? I want to be able to pick up NPR without getting that Christian station bleeding in. Like I said, I never had this problem with my analog boombox. Also, how exactly does digital tuning work? And how is it different from analog tuning?
I was able to find two boomboxes on the Circuit City website, that use analog tuning. However, they are made by brands that I'm not familiar with. I don't want to buy one of them, to just have to replace it a few months later, because it wasn't that good. One was made by Nexxtech. And I believe the other one was made by ESA, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that exactly right or not. Has anyone ever heard of either of these brands? If so, do you know how good their stuff is, or isn't? Thank you, Terri
