Hi, Luminator:

KDFC is not the only choice in classical music programming, but may be the ONLY successful commercially run one these days in the SF Bay Area, aside from several better stations which occasionally feature classical music from time-to-time. My criticism with the KDFC approach is that they tend to play mostly the "standard = popular" classical repertoire and in most situations, tend to feature very short movements of much larger works, rather than concentrating on an entire piece by a given composer.

There are exceptins to this, however.

If you like experimental music or more modern compositional content, consider tuning in to Sarah Cahill's "Then and Now", a fine program she produces and airs over KALW, San Francisco.

I have provided the URL below.

Enjoy classical music while you can, at least on Bay Area FM radio as it still exists.
