I feel compelled to lift this quote from a rather well known folk DJ:

" ... WETA in Washington, D.C. one of the foremost classical/diversified music stations in the country announced today (after someone leaked it) that the station will go to all news/talk, mostly from NPR. Apparently the program director pleaded to go the other direction and drop the NPR programming the station already carried, but CEO Sharon Rockefeller deemed otherwise. I have been told there are major demonstrations occurring outside the station. Maybe Mary could fill us in. This is a very sad day for American radio."
