I lately lost a preposition

[sagehen]

Another prepositional oddity....or so it seems to me.  I realize this usage
has been around for a long time, but somehow I just *heard* it.  "Listeners
of" such & such a radio station.  It probably arises from the need for
"public" radio to solicit funds from their listeners to stay afloat, who
then become "members"  of the station.
