[BC] Another public station bites the dust

[Bernie Courtney]

Museums probably arent going anywhere, but the same logic you could apply to
niche formats also could very easily be applied to libraries.  With more and
more research being done online, and traditional paper based material being
digitized, there really ISNT a need for all the wasted space that libraries
take up either.  Build some nice new condo's there instead, and put the
archives in a rack of a data center somewhere and call it a day.  As for
those who want to listen to bible thumping 24/7 or whats going on around
campus, thats what streaming and podcasts are for.
