Well, so far all we know, in the first few days, is that they have
been getting a heck of a lot of phone calls! I hope those were not all
subscription cancellations. The orchestra manager or the president of the
board (I don't remember exactly who it was) and another staff member had to
rush onto the local classical station on the afternoon of the day of the
announcement to give an emergency interview, explaining that there would
still be plenty of the music people like to listen to (Rach, etc.).
