[Sans-Culotte]

I seldom listen to radio, either, unless its talk radio. The main music I listen to is classical, and our one Houston commercial classical channel KRTS converted to latino a couple of months ago (there is a remaining classical public radio station, but it has NPR and I do not have a strong enough stomach for that).

I think part of the problem could be the state of pop/rock music today (it sucks). There probably is more loyal listener-ship amongst the hispanics/illegals, and thus a chance to sell more products via advertising. I expect many more discriminating listeners have migrated to XM or Sirius Satellite radio (something I am considering). Most of the time, I am playing CDs and jamming to Handel, Bach and Telemann as I drive around Houston.

Are you old enough to remember when KRBE, "The Key to radio Broadcasting Excellence" was all classical?

They had some great announcers too, Eamon Grant, Ray Landers, Anthony Rahe, among others.

Sirius rocks.
