This is a publicly funded, non-profit, tax exempt business entity. Non-profit, tax-exempt status is granted for businesses that serve the public in a way which may not be commercially viable. Their entire mission is based on providing a service that may not be self-supporting. Therefore, this radio station's turn to broadcasting sports is inexcusable. If there's anything that is commercially viable and available everywhere, it's sports coverage. THAT's why it amazed me - they completely negated their mission statement.
