Heh. Similar things have been happening in Boston. Both public stations (WGBH and WBUR) used, in the distant past, to carry a fair amount of classical music, although WGBH always had much more; but WBUR eliminated it years ago. Meanwhile WGBH has been shaving its classical music broadcasting down (or rescheduling it to the same effect -- weekends from 6 AM to 10 AM? C'mon!) so they can run the exact same NPR and PRI news-and-talk programs that are running on WBUR.
I still give my annual $250 to WGBH, and I turn them off for the duration of their pledge periods. But I mostly can't stand to listen to talk-and-news, and I miss my classical music.
