Nary a commercial for skin products, hospitals, or language-learning software to be heard–YEA!

Delightfully, some favorite features are retained, including Symphony Hall and Bill McGlaughlin’s “Exploring Music” (now at 11:00pm). (If they would only pick up David Dubal’s” Reflections from the Keyboard” everything would be hunky-dory!)

Midge Woolsey sounds really happy! Her work with PBS over the years proves her dedication to public programming.

I wonder if the FCC has something like what variances are to zoning codes, allowing a plea to transmit a stronger signal? The listener base is alternately satisfied and disillusioned/angered by the change in signal quality. Some can’t receive the signal at all.

Classical music has, hopefully, found security in its new home at public radio–where it should have always been residing.
