Those of you in the Washington, D.C. area are familiar with WGMS, a classical music station with a rich and long history of providing top notch classical music.
In today's Washington Post, there was an article detailing the pending sale of WGMS to Dan Snyder, Redskins owner, for the purpose of converting it to a sports-talk station. This is a crime which should not be happening. WGMS is the only remaining classical station in the DC area (WETA abandoned classical music in 2005). If WGMS goes over to the dark side, there will be no classical music station in the nation's capital. A pathetic situation. I don't consider the quality of classical music available from Sirius or XM anywhere near that of WGMS. Apparently there are only about 165 classical stations out of 12,000 stations in the US. A sad commentary about the state of culture in this country.
The rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
