When it comes to the broadcasting of classical music...I believe much
of what I have heard from NPR and PBS do more harm than good.  As for
this CM lover, I gave up on them years ago.  It seems to me that if PBS
wanted to do something good for classical music they might try rebroadcasting
Bernstein's Omnibus programs, or the Young People's Concerts, or Copland's
series on Music from the 20s, etc.

As for the radio side of things, I would welcome a rebroadcast of the
old series, Masterworks from France, or some of those series from Dutch
Radio, Radio Italy, and the BBC.

How did we get to this point?  Whose fault is it, who can we blame?
(assuming of course, you agree with me)
