That's a debate between decisions management made about the market and a
vocal minority.  Maine Public Radio made decisions based on ratings and
fundraising during certain types of programming.  They determined that more
people listen, and contribute, during their public affairs programming and
that the audience for opera and classical music had dropped.  The people who
liked the programming that was dropped are protesting, but their is no
evidence that these people represent a majority of the Maine Public Radio's
audience.
