How the hell would this dumb-ass move keep classical music alive?  

If anything it will contribute to WCLV's downfall as more and more people,
tired of the flakey and difficult reception, switch over to records and
tapes.

In my opinion, a station's greatest asset is a powerful signal.  Without
that, it's just a shack full of expensive equipment.

What's next, WCLV moves from FM to MW?
