Re: Lydon resigns from WBUR

["Dan Billings" <dib9@gwi.net>]

Lydon wanted ownership because the show was going to a network: NPR.  If we
were just talking about a local show, there wouldn't be any new revenue to
fight about.

Public broadcasting is already a private empire.  This fight is just over
who gets the money being made.
