Great, intelligent music replaced by clueless blowhards showinf their a—.
Boston is sooooo lucky!
I heard the last classical piece, Madame Butterfly, played on WQRS in Detroit. They started playing Nine Inch Nails on top of it...I thought it was technical difficulties, or perhaps hackers. Nope.
Funny thing is, they ended up going through 4 formats in about 10 years.
Been in mourning ever since.
Well, we’ll see if this network starts up and if so, they say they’ll find another place to put classical. I’m not sure
where—another FM spot in Boston, owned by someone else,
or the FM 106.3 up in Nashua/Manchester NH, which they do own?
Famed classical stations have disappeared elsewhere, like
in Wash. DC (though they made some kind of a deal to put
more classical on non-commercial radio). Classical moved
to weaker spots on the dial in Cleveland (WCLV, which
produces the “Weekend Radio” show) too.
