Re: [BC] nationwide study illustrates terrestrial radio's strengths

You don't want me to go into my classical music listening diatribe do you 
Mark? :) It's my field of expertise. Classical music stations (terrestrial 
of course) have sold or changed formats in many markets because the American 
public has become dumbed down and this trend started when (there are many 
reasons) we started to lose  music programs in our schools. I won't go into 
the sociological discussion as this might ignite a big ole blaze in here. :) 
We'll leave it here...for the time being.
