I DID read the article:

*“This marketplace did not need to have two public radio stations with the
same format,’’ said Charles J. Kravetz, WBUR’s new general manager.
Angry at facing competition that’s more common to commercial radio, Kravetz
accused WGBH of copying his station.
*

So while the original post paraphrased the article, I don't think it
distorted the meaning of what he said.
As for competition in public radio, I certainly hope that stations will
compete, otherwise, what will make them get any better?
Don't like that someone copied your format?  Losing listeners because of it
(arguable)?  Then do some innovation and win
them back, rather than whine about it.
