From Donald_Astelle@Yahoo.com Mon Feb 29 12:25:12 2016 From: Donald_Astelle@Yahoo.com (Don) Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 12:25:12 -0500 Subject: Pops broadcasts? Message-ID: I figured some people here know the answer to this... Does anyone know if the current slew of Boston Pops concerts are broadcast to to the public? For instance, they are doing a (sold out) show with Brian Wilson this Summer. Would love to hear it. I know the BSO broadcasts their performances, but what about the Pops? Is there a way to hear this show (during or after it is performed that night)? Thanks!

I left WCRB when WGBH took it over, so I don't know if this is still the case, but I do know the BSO was insistent on keeping the Pops on the air. [Aside: The Boston Pops Orchestra is the Boston Symphony Orchestra, minus its first string players, under a different conductor; the Boston Pops *Esplanade* Orchestra is a bunch of other musicians hired to substitute for the real Pops when it has to be elsewhere. The Esplanade Orchestra typically performs in Boston during the summer when the Boston Symphony is at Tanglewood at the other end of the state. Oh, and the missing first string players during Pops season perform as The Boston Symphony Chamber Players. All of these are different incarnations of the same organization, The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Incorporated. Are you confused yet?] Rob On Mon, 29 Feb 2016, Don via Boston-Radio-Interest wrote: [NON-Text Body part not included] From markwats@comcast.net Mon Feb 29 17:03:11 2016 From: markwats@comcast.net (Mark Watson) Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:03:11 -0500 Subject: Legendary Radio Personality Charlie Tuna Has Passed Message-ID: <002601d1733c$fb882290$f29867b0$@comcast.net> All Access reporting moments ago that legendary Los Angeles radio personality Charlie Tuna (real name Art Ferguson) passed away today at the age of 71.
