“Discussions began immediately after the group, known as WBUR’s Board of Overseers, learned that General Manager Charlie Kravetz” — credited with building the station into a public radio powerhouse that distributes numerous programs nationally — “would no longer oversee daily operations of the station and would leave, officially, at the end of June. Members of the board, which has no direct decision-making authority, say they felt blindsided by the decision and ignored by BU when they protested.” – WBUR (Boston)
