From what I've heard of BBC 3 programming and philosophy, I'd be glad to donate $100 annually to the station; I could handle more if necessary. Although Karl Haas does speak at a slow clip, I have no problem maintaining interest in his programs. I think most list members would be agreeable as well, assuming they do not have the availability of a good classical station. I don't think it comes down to a station having to pay homage to my tastes, but a station which I can be proud to support because it places quality above ratings. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
