In Reply to: Which classical music streaming service ? posted by Tadlo on January 16, 2017 at 13:22:32:
The best classical internet service, it feeds the live broadcast stream from the FM station (atop Sears tower, I think, still), 24x7. If you like radio, they play a great spectrum of composers and a delightful "feel" comes across in their broadcasts. Announcements are very restrained and I always chuckle here in SoCal when they say its 14 degrees with 40MPH winds.
WFMT was America's first radio "superstation" that I first heard via one of those 10-ft diameter satellite dishes in 1980 or so. I was agog, there was no classical music broadcast in Washington and Oregon's Great Inland Desert then. WFMT sent the CSO to Europe, the Soviet Union and China and amazed me by having the b*lls to broadcast the Ring Cycle live from Bayreuth.
Their popup player offers several format choices and the sound is superb!
