It's difficult to change the format of a listener-supported station because many of the donations are made in support of the music. Back in the day, classical was a great at-work listening option, not so much any more.

Classical stations are definitely on the decline. NPR News/Talk is the ratings grabber for public radio. HPR gets the advantage that the News/Talk format provides since they have a second network of stations. That's not the case in many (most?) places.
