WCRB Saved
A while back I wrote about Boston's only full-time commercial classical radio station, WCRB (102.5 FM). It had been bought by a behemoth called Greater Media and was going to be converted to some other format, perhaps Top-40 or sports talk.
But I keep tuning it in, and the classical music is still there. So I got curious, and did a Google search.
Turns out that WCRB has been bought from Greater Media by someone who not only will keep it classical, but plans to try to expand it into a national classical radio network! The frequency will change from 102.5 to 99.5 as part of the deal, but the format won't change. I'm hoping they'll continue the annual cartoon film festival at the BSO, too.
Some good news, for once!
