Thread Name: End of Music on WETA?
Subject: RE: End of Music on WETA?
er, oops...
Digression for Pauline above: I am unaware that any of the BBC music channels are available on satellite radio. I have a carpooler with XM, and I'm pretty sure there is no BBC music on that system.
Most of the BBC classical music is on Radio 3, which is available for internet streaming. Radio 3 also carries a number of world music shows; the one I have been enjoying the most is Late Junction, which is a blend of world and folk and classical music. The exact mix varies with the week; LJ did a folk-intensive week with lots of live broadcasts from Glasgow during the Celtic Connections festival.
The irony for me is that, having come to BBC Radio 3 for the folk/world music shows, I've gotten drawn into more classical music than I'd listened to in years.
