For 10 years, they ignored the advice of their consultants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another interesting takeaway, not particularly surprising, is that people who listen to the news and information format are more likely to give money to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This newspaper story from Binghamton NY gives some interesting insights into the business of public radio, specifically NPR type programming.
