Yet another non-commercial, public radio Classical station leaves the format. Northeast Indiana Public Radio sold the 3,000 watt FM station at 94.1, licensed to Roanoke, to a Christian university. Taylor U. flipped WBNI's Classical format to Urban Gospel, using the slogan, "94.1 WRNP Rhythm & Praise." The price tag was $350,000, according to Inside Radio.

Northeast Indiana Public Radio continues with its main station, 89.1 WBOI Fort Wayne, an NPR news and information outlet. WBNI-FM's classical programming is now exclusively on the HD-2 subchannel. But, of course, you need an HD radio to receive the signal, or get it on line from WBOI's website.
Earlier this year, another non-comm Classical station was terminated. WFPK 91.9 in Louisville flipped to AAA programming, with the classical music shifted to an HD Radio subchannel.
People have been listening to and enjoying Classical music for only 300 or 400 years. It is almost gone as a commercial radio format. Does Classical die completely from the airwaves in our generation?
