He's built one of the most popular public radio stations in the country .
But as of today Steve Mills will no longer be the general manager of W-V-T-F public radio.
That's according to Larry Hincker -- Mills' immediate supervisor at Virginia Tech.
Hincker says Mills was removed from the position -- although, at this point, he is still an employee of the university.
Hincker says he can NOT comment on Mills future status with Virginia Tech, but did make this statement to News 7.

Hincker says Mills recent decision to cancel Metropolitan Opera -- which was subsequently reinstated by the university -- is just ONE of several factors as to why Mills was dismissed from the position.
But the Metropolitan Opera furor was not Mill's first clash with listeners. In 1995, he set off controversy with his decision to cancel the interview program , "Fresh Air."
Mills at the time said he felt the program had a sexual agenda.
