WOSU-FM Programming Change

[Neil E.]

Let me ask this...how is WOSU or any classical music station supposed to afford to offer that format if the support isn't there? Is the money supposed to appear out of thin air? Instead of witholding your support,
you should go out and rally the troops and raise enough money for the station so that it can continue to
provide the service. Witholding your support will only cause WOSU or any other station to move more of
its program service to News and Public Affairs - which attracts more listeners and greater support.

This station has already gone to "News and Public Affairs" and I wish them success. It is not my job nor my inclination to "mobilize the troops" on their behalf (especially since the change was a surprise to me and was a "done deal" before I knew about it) but rather to act in this case as an individual. The station no longer meets my programming expectations and I and my wife have moved on to alternative sources of programming which suits us. It is great that others might appreciate the change, but we don't and I see no reason to continue our financial support of the station. This is not to punish them but rather to redirect our resources to get the programming that we want.

Would you be willing to post your product review for this radio?

I have one of these radios. It's just OK. The shortcomings are typical of a first generation product. There are threads discussing it, like this one, in the HD Radio forum here at Radio-Info.

daypart,

Thank you for the links but after some research into the technology and available programming we are not in the market for HD receivers. We are now getting our classical music from other sources.
