You don't understand B, it takes someone paid $740k to decide to continue syndicating Nova, Frontline and Antiques Roadshow. That's a very difficult decision and only top people can make it.

Also, it takes pristine offices on the most expensive block of Center City to record that daily hour of Fresh Air. You need to make sure that your best employees can walk to the office from Society Hill without going through any bad neighborhoods. And they must have the very best $1000 mics and room-in-a-room isolated sound studios, so that you can hear the elegant silence between sentences.

I ran the radio station when I was in college. We had maybe $4k of equipment in the studio and a $4k transmitter. I installed most of it myself. It's still running 25 years later.
