Hector Aguilar quotes me,

then asks:

I doubt there was an official announcement, but the classical section
in my local Tower has shrunk steadily over the past couple of years.  It
is now the Classical/Jazz section.  I'm glad that the Tower in downtown
Washington, D.C.  has still not been downsized....yet.
