Perhaps the NYC classical community is tired of having to "save" the
station every few years.

In New Orleans, I have a dismal NPR station.  To be fair, it hasn't a large
budget to buy CDs, but even so, it's cutting back in favor of chit-chat and
repetitive news stories.  What's left behind is music in performances I've
heard several times over.  Since I have an adequate collection myself - and
furthermore one which ideally fits my likes and dislikes (coincidence? I
don't think so) - I've given up listening to classical radio.
