Thread Name: Mary Cliff 'Traditions' dropped from WETA FM
Subject: RE: Folklore: Mary Cliff Fired - WETA FM "Traditions"
WETA is switching to all-classical to step into the gap left by WGMS, which is switching from classical to rock. WGMS, a commercial station, is actually working with WETA to facilitate the transition. This is according to an article in today's Washington Post. This is actually not unexpected if you have been following the machinations of David Snyder, the owner of the Washington Redskins football team, as he has been attempting to expand his local sports radio network. He made a lucrative offer for WGMS, which sparked a great deal of controversy among classical radio fans.

Maybe there will be room found at WAMU for Mary. It would be nice to see that happen.
