If the NPR station in my area, WMNF 88.5, Tampa FL is any indication of the state of nation-wide NPR stations, then I would have to say 'Let them fold and good riddance!' The folks at this station care not a whit for the common folks. The groups that have the big bucks get what they want. Folks like ourselves that can't afford much money get nothing, svae programming cuts. Just for example, the drive time bluegrass show which used to run from 4pm to 7 pm daily, with a two hour show on Saturday mornings has been cut to a two hour Sat am and Mon PM segment. My thought is that folks that like that kind of music are NOT the rich segment, so therefore got cut. The drug influence is VERY much present. The rap and hip-hop, reggae, and latino abound....Piss on NPR!!!!
