It's not a crime. Radio stations exist to be profitable. The relative unpopularity of classical music has driven most of this nation's classical stations to other formats. I still bereave the loss of Phoenix's KHEP 101.5 20 or so years ago. The only commercial stations left that I'm aware of are in Albuqueque/Santa Fe and Chicago. Fortunately, there are lots of public radio stations across the country broadcasting classical. And Sirius/XM are the only reliable way to receive classical while traveling cross country. You may not be crazy about the programming, but at least each has 3-4 classical channels to choose from. Classical is my preferred format, too, but profit must drive commerce.
