GBH tried to sell the home of a legendary radio station. It kicked off a proxy war for the soul of audio.
Briefly

Allison described the situation as alarming, stating, 'They didn't talk to me, they didn't talk to the staff, they didn't talk to the community. They did this in the dark.' This encapsulates the disconnect between GBH's actions and the local stakeholders of CAI.
CAI has been a cornerstone of the community since its launch in 2000. Allison noted the origin of the station: 'It was kind of an eyesore... But it sits at the top of town, and it's right next to the historical society and the public library.' The location strengthens CAI's connection with the community.
The community's response to the sale of the Captain Davis House has been passionate and organized. As Allison commented, it marked 'the beginning of a furious campaign... that to many looked like a proxy war for the soul of audio.' This reflects the stakes involved in this local issue.
