Subject: RE: DC 'catters, be afraid (Public Radio & Folk)
Such whining.

I have thre public radio stations to listen to. WAER from Syracuse University, WCNY from Liverpool NY. And WRVO from SUNY Oswego in Osego NY.

WAER is am all Jazz/Electric Blues all day format. With one extremely good locally produced folk show called "Common Threads" produced by Larry Hoyt on Sunday afternoons, 2:00 to 5:00, unless SU Football, Basketball, Volleyball, LaCrosse,Hockey or tennis pre-empts him. It is followed by an hour of just Grateful Dead and after midnite a World Music show.(What is World music?)

WRVO is all news all day. In the evening all Old Time Radio. And for two hours each and every Saturday, APHC with a repeat Sunday at 12:00.

WCNY has a great line up. Their philosphy is "We have heard music and it is Classical." But for three hours each sunday evening there is "The Blue Grass Ramble", and exceptional show run by the same dedicated man , Bill Knowlton, for 30 + years.

I have three stations to choose from and from the three my total folk music exposure is less that 12 hours some of which is repeated.

Such whiners. You've already lost more than this market everhad. You still have 5 times the programing this market will ever have.

Such Whiners.
