Interesting that JJ Yore, quoted in the article, was at one time the GM of APM's "Marketplace" business / economic program, suggesting that a bottom-line focus is at work.
Good news is that there are 92 other program listings in the "bluegrass" category on Publicradio fan.com (http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgibin/progsearch.pl?type=country/bluegrass+music&when=listall). It's pretty straightforward to use an audio stream grabber with public radio stations -- that stream using HTTP and generally in MP3 or AAC formats -- so you can schedule a download of audio and build up an inventory of radio you can then transfer to an MP3-playing device...I use a a cheap un-activated Straight Talk Wireless smartphone for that purpose. That's what I do with "big band" shows and baroque-themed classical music. Anyone needing a "how-to" on that just give me a yell.
