Those who believe that classical music programmers at public radio
stations such as WQXR (starting October 8) and WCRB (only a little
later) should be more adventurous, apparently don't have much support
from WQXR management. According to the CEO of public radio station
WNYC, WQXR's new owner, "Bach trumps Telemann."

If WGBH adopts a similar policy when it takes over WCRB, we all know
of one poster on this list who will weep buckets for the "commercial
interests" at public stations that clearly should heed his warnings,
because he knows what the listeners would want if only they were as
smart as he is--that is, smart enough to know what is good for them.
