Hey - does "good music" mean "classical music" to a lot of people on this
list? Because I've got to say that I really enjoy two non-classical public
radio stations: WEMU (jazz) and WDET (eclectic mix, lots of live music - and
one of the most popular stations in metro Detroit. They're doing what the
commercial stations SHOULD be doing). That said, I wish that there were
more stations out there doing classical, and even getting new and obscure
classical music out there, not just the old warhorses. Does anyone have a
radio station like that in their area?
