Most KUHF listeners listen to Morning Edition and >classical music and enjoy both! and support both! I was very happy to read this post. Some persons may not be aware that a commercial station, KRTS-FM 92.1, Seabrook, TX ceased broadcasting last fall. It's a 100,000-watt station 20 to 30 miles away from Houston, that nevertheless got a rating with a whole number to the left of the decimal point (I'm being vague because unauthorized persons are not supposed to quote Arbitron ratings directly!) in Houston. This raises the question: has the demise of KRTS increased listenership; response as in the form of letters, phone calls and e-mails; and and a bump in donations?
