I mean, they let someone go who was very integral to the success of WBUR. TA: That was very, just very straightforward. He blamed no one — not the culture of public radio, not managers, not young people unaccustomed to the rough and tumble of the deadline news business. WBUR says On Point ratings are up since Ashbrook’s departure in three top 10 markets. “Very few dropped it or cut back. TA: I don't know. I wish we had stuck with it and worked it out.
