This reminds me: a few years ago, a classical station here in Phoenix sold
out to rock. However, we soon had another station playing classical music
but the announcers weren't of the quality of the previous station. My
favorite gaffe was the presentation of the opera, "Eugene Onegin" pronounced
ON-again by the announcer.
