Not here in Munich.  We used to have just one classical station
(state-subsidized, and very good).  Now we have two (the other one
private-enterprise, and not bad).  But then we also have two operas
and three symphony halls and a symphony orchestra run by the Bavarian
Broadcasting Network.  The accent here, happily it seems, remains more
on the lute than the loot.
