I'm feeling really fortunate after reading these messages. In Colorado
Springs, we have a member-supported classical music station (KCME). They
play mostly classical, with jazz late night and on weekends. Not much
jabber. And, several programs in different formats, including discussion of
music history, et al. They have two fund drives a year, each lasting less
than a week. (Unlike the PBS stations here, who seem to be having a fund
drive every time I turn to that station, leading to me not watching PBS very
much...)
I think they are broadcasting via the Net. Go to www.kcme.org.

Here in our Nation's Capital, for years now we've only had one "full-time"
classical music station (WGMS), and they've gotten so bad that (a) there's
maybe
4 hours of actual music played in any 24-hr. period, after all the blabber
and
advertisements; and (b) they are so conservative in their programming that
very
little post-Mozart is ever played. Occasionally they get as 'modern' as
Brahms
and act very proud of themselves for their boldness! It's pathetic and
discouraging that, in an area as crowded with
affluent/well-educated/supposedly
cultured people as the DC metropolitan area, there is only enough market to
support one classical music radio station, and a poor excuse for one at
that!
