How many ex-commercial sponsored classical Music Stations in the USA Had to

R

Keep music format and Call Letters but they had to move frequencies by FCC pressure and Wall Street pressure. Besides KDFC and WQXR in NYC.
 
Definitely no pressure from the FCC, and none from Wall Street either.

But WCRB Boston moved to a weaker signal and became non-commercial.
 
95.7 WFLN in Philadelphia's classical recordings where sold to 90.1 WRTI to go commercial free
 
Good thing WCRB moved to a weaker signal. (They switched frequencies with a country station) It saved classical music in Boston. After they moved frequencies they were bought by public radio station WGBH which became all NPR news except for jazz at night. When WCRB was a commercial station they played a top 40 classical format which was unlistenable. Now, a year later, as a public radio station, they are, in my humble opinion, the best classical station. Check it out on line.
