[BC] Classical stations...

[Sid Schweiger]

>>WCRB, Boston, has held its own for years, enough to put another
Classical station on the air on Cape Cod, WFCC. It's on the chopping
block, now. I don't know if 
the trust that owned it will require the new owner to keep the format.<<

The WCRB group was sold to Greater Media.  The will of the late Rev. Ted
Jones strongly recommended keeping the classical format, but he didn't
put anything in place that would have been legally binding.  The latest
bets are that GM will move its country format from the 99.5 Lowell
rimshot to 102.5, since it must spin off one station in the market as
part of the deal. 

>>If there were no audience, how would Harvard's WHRB "Orgies" have 
lasted so many decades. No sex, please, we're Bostonians. The orgies 
are usually held during exams and feature a composer for a day.<<

The WHRB Orgies are not exclusively classical, and haven't been for at
least 15 years.
