    While I do think there is some validity to this semi-sensationalist story by Wired and that NPR has genuine reason to be concerned, I can’t help but just think about the types of people that are actual supporters of local NPR stations.

    They’re not part of the “Oh I can get that for free” crowd and they don’t see it in those terms. People who support NPR stations would support them regardless of whether the entire station programming was available online for free because, well, the entire station programming is already free! It’s kind of the whole point.

    So, yeah, we’ll probably see NPR tone down the offerings in podcast form, most likely stations holding back their more lucrative (and expensive) shows for on-air only.
