I think I am one of the 'silent majority' who would listen more to WDUQ if they cut back on the jazz. I understand that some regard the jazz format as something to be "preserved," because of its uniqueness in the radio world--but I'll bet a lot of us who love NPR do not love jazz. The constant jazz becomes a reason to turn the dial during the day.
Sorry to say, but the jazz preservationists probably fit into the category of 'snoots' who don't understand what the rest of the listening public wants. Check out this nice article on a different element of the same NPR debate: http://www.slate.com/id/2286927/
