So, who do you want to push on? WGBH Radio's management. Go to , and take your pick to express your concerns. Personally, I'm puzzled by people's outrage. If they are complaining about WGBH's getting rid of jazz, folk, etc--that I understand. But if the issue is classical music, WCRB broadcast a sort of top-40, "classics light" stream that drove me nuts--aside from the BSO Friday afternoon broadcast). (In Maine, we're still stuck with it on WBACH, without ever having the BSO broadcast.) Looks to me like β€œthe new 99.5" is a pretty serious classical broadcaster. Isn't that a good thing? --scades (Written,by the way with our old cat, Miss Kitty, asleep on my lap.)
I have no problems with WGBH took over WCRB and I like that the WCRB was killed – I hate that station. I like what the new All Classical WGBH turned into BUT my outrage derived from the absolutely foolish decision of WGBH to discontinue the BSO Friday afternoon broadcasts. The reason that WGBH gave was absolutely idiotic – they feel that Friday afternoon and Saturday broadcasts duplicate themselves. It is so far from really that I do not even know where to start arguing this point. If would be the same if I say that somebody have two children and they both boy – so they are duplicates and one of them need to be put to death. Ironically it was exactly the sentiment that WGBH generals managers have expressed in Boston Globe. How do not take it personally?

My best wishes to your Miss Kitty.
