"We're in the business of trying to create a larger audience and have
more people join our station." said Sharon Percy Rockifeller,
president and CEO of WETA, the Washington DC area's only
non-commercial radio station that programs classicial music.
Beginning February 28, the fifteen hours of weekday classical music
programming will be dropped in favor of round-the-clock news,
analysis, and interview programs.
I thought that the purpose of public radio was to serve the needs and
tastes of those not offered by other radio stations. I guess not. It
appears it's to take in more money, just like commercial stations.
I'm not that rabid a fan of classical music, but I listened to WETA
during the day (and even made my donations), but I'll have to find
some other form of background entertainment (and someplace else to put
my support dollars). I'm turning to the Internet more and more for
stations that offer other than top-40 and talk. Good thing I finally
got a DSL connection here.
Anyone got suggestions for on-net alternate programming? I have
bookmarks for WWOZ, KBCS, and KEXP. WAMU's Bluegrass Country (round
the clock bluegrass) has their heart in the right place, but I find it
fatiguing to listen to for more than a couple of hours at a stretch.
