It would be wonderful if, given the size of the audience in the Washington metro area, there could be two public radio stations, just as we have in the Hampton Roads area, with much success. One is focused on classical music, while the other broadcasts folk, jazz, news programs, and other programs like Fresh Air, This American Life, etc. As a former D.C. area resident, I am so sad to learn that folk is disappearing from the D.C. airwaves. I hope all of these efforts to sway the underwriters and others will make a differene.
