When public radio salaries go public

Hold on a minute. Did I just read about a GBH talk show host making almost $350,000 a year (”Amid layoffs, some GBH employees question $300,000+ executive pay,” Page A1, June 11)? This is public radio that I have happily supported for decades. I once considered donating my car during a pledge break at the station.

In the local radio market — stations funded by advertisers and commercials — there are many radio talk show hosts who make half that amount. They are just as vital to New England listeners.

I am sorry to read about the travails of GBH and hope the station will solve its financial problems soon. The top brass needs to rethink their business model. As for me, I would like more radio stations and choices, not fewer.
