I doubt that even profound listener involvement would attach classical music to the FCC licensing of a broadcast station.

Besides the frequencies from 88 up to around 92 MHz are set aside for educational, religious, public radio, etc. Getting a station on the air is no picnic I'm sure, and--Terry so correctly points out--what you're hearing on NPR and what you're seeing on PBS is a telling example of that the public broadcasting market will bear. (How many Lawrence Welk reruns have I seen vs. Evening at Pops?)

Last night, I tuned across what I think was a "Celtic Woman" production on the TV, and---thanks, PBS--I immedately reached for a very thick book to read. (and it was very enjoyable, at least by comparison)

How many times and ways are we going to remake "Riverdance" with listener contributions?

As we've also discussed here from time to time, even school music students who play classical music as part of their curriculum for 7-9 years aren't interested in classical music. Perhaps these satellite folks are the answer. Just like the internet allows us to unite here as clarinet players, cable TV and satellite radio may allow our widely dispersed classical music fans to keep the music being broadcast. But don't count on commercials to pay for it. We're gonna have to pony up one way or the other.
