NPR’s target (or if not their target, the effective target based on their content) is an early/mid gen x or baby boomer centrist/center-left neoliberal democrat who also listens to FM radio. It’s a pretty specific audience. Additionally, they depend on a network of local FM broadcasters paying dues and content fees.
While lots of people still listen to FM radio, that number falls every year, particularly for younger people. Seems like a grim long-term situation for them.
