My mail is overwhelmingly in support of Marc Steiner and WYPR-FM listeners are critical of the station management for dumping Steiner and canceling his eponymous talk show. Here's another letter questioning the motives for Steiner's sacking. See other comments on earlier blog posts:

"I remember when Marc told me JHU was dumping the station and that he
was going to pursue funding to save the station. I was involved only
on the periphery as he set out to find backing. I remember a year
after he accomplished founding WYPR he started having problems with
the board and Tony. It's been a long time since I heard him say this,
but he was saying some of the main underwriters of the station were
fairly conservative and not very fond of his point of view, which is
reflected in the shows he tends to do. Over the years I saw he was
getting slowly edged out of influence over the station. I haven't
spoken to Marc since this news broke but I assume this is the final
fruit of that friction over the years.

"I know he's a bit of a scatte brain and that can be difficult to
work with, but he's brilliant and colorful. I think his progressive
sidelining is reflected in the station's drift toward blandness."
