Kidding aside, you're quite right. Do you realize that there is only ONE full-time 24/7 classical music radio station west of the Mississippi? In Santa Barbara, CA.

How SAD!

There is SO MUCH to be learned & Understood about the "Human Condition" from an understanding of the "Language" of "Classical Music."

Huh? WRR-FM is located in and owned by the City of Dallas (east of the Trinity, but definitely west of the Mississippi!) and its program is 100% classical music 100% of the time, 24/7. A darned fine station it is, too, with classical favorites (the “3 Bs”, Mozart, etc.), overtures and selections from both light and grand opera, and a very restricted playlist (basically George Gershwin) from the American musicial stage played during drivetimes and afternoons. The more obscure/offbeat/modern selections are broadcast after hours. (No twelve-tone/serial stuff so far.) They also carry the ChevronTexaco Metropolitan Opera broadcasts, live performances of the San Francisco Symphony and Detroit Symphony Orchestras, and Karl Haas' Adventure in Good Music program.

WRR is practically the only commercial radio worth listening to in the DFW area. You should lend them an ear!

KHFM in Albuquerque is a 27/7 classical music radio station. It also makes a profit (unlike KNME, one of the various Public Radio Stations.)
