If I own a radio station and can make more money playing classical
music than I can playing "christian hop hop" (whatever that might
be), I will play classical music. It's pretty simple. The market
for classical music in Houston is apparently not that big, or there's
mo one with deep pockets willing to finance the deficit of a
classical station.
There are plenty of internet resources for classical, and there's always
Sirius XM. Many cable companies provide music channels with their basic
package, which usually includes a classical channel.
There is a LOT of good to great music out there that is just not in the mainstream. You can fine it if you look. Youtube is your friend in this regard.
