In Reply to: PBS's "Live from Lincoln Center" last night -- More unremittingly lowbrow pandering. posted by clarkjohnsen on May 4, 2007 at 09:39:53:

Same here on the Cape on WFCC, 'CRB's sister station (same announcers, different music but same type and same philosophy). no complete concerti or symphonies, just movements. And when I emailed them to complain about the lack of harpsichords and clavichords in the Baroques selections, they responded that they program according to listener preferences.

But, it's the only full time "classical" station we have. I can get 'GBH and 'CRB as well as WOMR from P-Town, all of which have SOME classical programming.

Shifting gears, how about a White House tribute concert to Thelonious Monk on PBS that contained NOT ONE Monk tune??! Sheesh! Or a two hour special on Atlantic records that didn't even mention their recordings of Ornette Coleman or John Coltrane?
