In New York City there is Classical WQXR 96.3 FM
Boy that takes a load off my mind. Thanks.
I haven't commuted around New York recently, but I did so for many years, and it's definitely going downhill. One of the three classical stations suddenly changed over to rock about ten years ago, with no warning. After 911, the local NPR station dropped its classical music to comment on the terror situation, and they never went back to it.
Finally, WQXR is a classical station, but it's run by the New York Times, and it shows. The New York Times used to have pretty good musical taste, but now it leans toward Romantic and modern classical music or lightweight pop classical. Typical liberal mush. Very little Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Baroque, or the like. In the days when there were three stations, it was the weakest, and it's gone downhill since.
