Subject: RE: DC 'catters, be afraid (Public Radio & Folk)
Mick--
Mary Cliff is at WETA--the OTHER public radio station, so Ms. Mathes will not be the programming idiot who can guillotine her.
WAMU still has a bluegrass show in the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning, some gospel on Sunday morning, Eddie Stubbs and Dick Spottswood and "Thistle and Shamrock" (all on Sunday), and all of those are subject to the new programmer.
I've been disappointed with mediocre public radio in the DC area ever since I moved here, and it's gotten steadily worse. (I grew up on WPKN in Bridgeport, Conn.) The one shining light in the DC area is hober.com--internet radio! (It thinks globally, but at least it's located locally.)
