First, I'll pick myself up off the floor after your comment about agreeing, even partly, with my post.
But before blaming various American media outlets for their mediocre content (which imo you could say for most of what is now on TV, for example, especially so called news programs) remember the private free enterprise system that many of us seem to insist is invariably superior to government agencies or government regulation? Well, congratulations: Beginning in the 1980s, we got radio and tv deregulation, and more recently major cuts in government funded radio and tv stations. The internet is the unregulated wild west where competition for the audience reigns supreme. The traditional newspapers and radio and tv networks now have a multitude of competitors. Content is tightly controlled by the profit motive, and the best cultural or educational programming isn't necessarily the most profitable.
As for the popularity of classical music, I have many family members and friends who are pro classical musicians, and I've been on the boards of two classical music organizations. But I've spent my own career in a business unrelated to music. And I've learned, yes there are people who are interested in classical music, just as there are people who go fly fishing, or sail catamarans, or play squash, or restore antique cars. And they get together in groups and clubs, too. But those clubs exist so the tiny minority of people who do those things can find each other.
