WFMT in Chicago is excellent for classical music. If you live in an area where you have none, WFMT sells various packages for daily broadcast that can be 6 hrs, 12, 18 or 24 hours... A good donation to your local public radio station might be a start on getting WFMT... Also there is the broadcast by "Jim Sevedra" (I am not sure of the spelling) He is in LA. I think the broadcast or the marketing comes out of Seattle. Excellent, but sometimes controversial programming. There is at least one other... They all cost money... which public radio stations don't have... Beginning at about $1200 per year for a small audience... then going up based on hours of broadcast and the size of the audience. Also, some of the bigger Classical CD businesses will sell all their new stuff to local radio stations... starting at about $850 a year... for about 5 CD's each week. Which is sad because they will give the same station all the free jazz, rock, folk, or world CD's they can broadcast. Still, this helps to build a local library. If you know a source of funding, these can be very important to your local station. Each station manager gets a book or catalog twice a year that describes what is available for how much money... The entire amount must be paid up front. We found that wills were a good way to ensure classical music funding. Encourage your friends to leave an annual stipend to support classical programming for after they go to the happy hunting ground... You cannot do it because you don't plan on dying. Ray Bayles
