It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: The dumbing down of the U.S. continues...

Cape Cod has a population of about 215k people. We have a symphony orchestra, at least two chamber music festivals, and a good classical music station. Our population is 27% over 65 so that may have some bearing on the reason. Most of us in the over 65 demographic had alternative radio during our formative years, at least in the northeast, as well as the typical pop stations. Boston has a whole range of alternative stations, a result of all the college radio and we have two excellent NPR stations one of which, WGBH, featured classical music all day and jazz in the evening for many decades. I agree that it is a demographic phenomenon: the more educated have much broader musical tastes and are less likely to listen to whatever the music industry feeds them.
