The Indianapolis-based public broadcaster said that it “intends to maintain several staff positions” at the station in West Lafayette, Ind.
The arrangement between WFYI and WBAA is expected to free other newsroom staff to report and produce more feature stories.
The station’s general manager was trying to force a big conversation that he thought the system needed to have.
“Considerable listener feedback” caused station leaders to keep the show on its air.
