I'd imagine they would do something like what commercial radio often does, 
scour the company nationwide (or the affiliated network, in this case NPR) for 
candidates with the bodaciousness to fill her shoes, and end up importing 
someone we may have never even heard of here.

There are too many people making their livings (and some pretty good ones, 
remember what Lydon was making/offered, even small fractions of those amounts 
aren't bad at all) to allow it to become less than it is because of not having 
someone aggressive enough at the helm should something happen to Jane. 

Maybe they'd even import a leader from commercial radio. Most of their 
airstaff and some of their management already has history in commercial 
broadcasting.
