Not being from the area, I'm unsure. Is WETA a public station? If they are, they must have a board. You should demand to be heard and make a major effort to get every folk supporter out for it. We had a situation like this in NH about fifteen years ago. A consultant had sold the board on the advisability of going all classical (COINCIDENTALLY (?), the consultant had a friend selling an all classical package!) The NH folk (and other programming) community demanded and got a hearing that brought in 250+ angry subscribers on a Sunday night. After getting their ears filled with "No more of my money nor that of anyone else I can persuade", the board wised up and reconsidered. We're now getting a mix of news, entertainment, and music (mostly folk and jazz.) It ain't perfect, but it works. Don't give up!
