sjb,Or, it's possible I'm unlucky!
For me, the programming on KUSC is not terrible- is not the problem, and there are sometimes pleasant surprises, it's the "top 100" attitude and repetition and the overall nature of the announcing and talk/promotions ratio that bothers me more. The partial pieces seems to be fairly rare, the last one I remember was about three days ago when thye played jsut one section of "Carmina Burana".
I really recommend KCSN 88.5 during weekdays. The announcers keep a nice balance of talk to music and I hear something new often. It's not a powerful station, but when the repeater on the Westside is going, KCSN sound quality should be good. KSCN has streaming too if recetion is marginal. I live in the hills in the Valley and reception can be a problem. I have very poor reception of KCRW for example.
I should have mentioned that KMZT still existed on HD radio and I think they somehow piggy back that onto the 105.1 signal. Also, I ommitted to mention they broadcast the Classical on 1260 AM. - Not quite so bad as I made out, but a sign of the times being shoved around.
Cheers,
