As far as NPR goes, this seems to me like a repeat of the Bob Edwards debacle. People are going to react more strongly if they feel left out of the decision making process. This is public radio, we all own a piece of the pie. And, my personal (not endorsed by any media organization) opinion on the BPP is that if NPR is trying to establish a brand with younger listeners, they should have gone to college radio stations (not just university licensee member stations) and given the program away, or at a small charge, and then fundraised independently for the program online.
