[BC] Another public station bites the dust

[Jeff Johnson]

That's good to know! I have nothing against religion or religious 
broadcasters. It is just that diversity is waning on the broadcast 
spectrum. Often, as in this case, universities and colleges are dumping 
their public radio stations for financial reasons. Radio is no longer 
considered an asset to educational institutions.
