One of Kelly's first coup d'etats was getting Beverly Hacker fired.
Here is an letter from Ms. Hacker about that:

I'm sorry to say that I bought the Board's official story at the time of Ms. Hacker's dismissal, that she was responsible for the cash flow crisis. I think if they had kept her on the station would be better for it today.
Certainly, she wouldn't have turned it into her private domain, put her husband's picture on the billboards, or made the focus of all off-air events she and said husband's folk school, or spent over a quarter of million dollars in consulting fees. And there would have been a memorial for John McHenry, and the station would still have members.
