	Gramophone - Features - The world's best classical music magazine
		Thanks to its unique commercial yet not-for-profit independent WFMT radio station, Chicago is an oasis in a nation whose classical-radio outlets have been dying on the vine in recent decades.
		WFMT producers even travelled in May 2002 to Durban, South Africa to broadcast the first performance of the first indigenous African opera, Mzilikazi Khumalo’s Princess Magogo kaDinuzulu which will have its US première at this summer’s Ravinia Festival in June.
		And, thanks to support from the National Endowment for the Arts, WFMT has launched the nightly ‘Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin’, with the aim of being a non-pedantic presence in music education for an audience that has suffered from its collapse in the schools of the US.

	RadioWeb - WFMT Announcer Audition
		WFMT is a commercial classical FM station in Chicago.
		This is their announcer audition script, as it appears on the WFMT Web Site.
		In addition to uttering the sibilant, mellifluous cadences of such cacophonous sounds as Hans Schmidt- Isserstedt, Carl Schuricht, Nicanor Zabaleta, Hans Knappertsbusch and the Hammerklavier Sonata, he must thread his vocal way through the complications of L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and other complicated nomenclature.

	classical music - andante - ray nordstrand, executive at chicago's famed classical radio station wfmt, is dead at 72
		Although the Evanston-born Nordstrand had been fascinated by radio since his early childhood, his hiring by the then-infant WFMT in the early 1950s was unplanned.
		WFMT was a mom-and-pop operation when Nordstrand was hired.
		After the sale of WFMT to Window To The World Communications, along with changing economic conditions in the 1980s, both men were eventually removed from their executive positions.

	[No title]
		WFMT (formerly WOPA [named for the Oak Park Arms Hotel] where they began) swapped into a classical music format from whatever they were doing (as WOPA) in the early 1950's when Rita and Bernie Jacobs bought the property.
		WFMT, always the snobbish bunch refused to even acknowledge WNIB's existence until it got to the point that Sonia got ahead of WFMT in the ratings, then heads rolled over at Ray Nordstrand and Norman Pellegrini's uppity little radio station.
		Even Ray and Norman over at WFMT sat up and took notice at that point on hearing the obscene dollar amount Sonia was walking away with from her original investment of several thousand dollars forty-five years earlier; forty-five long years of overnight 'alternative music' and brokered time for church services.

	Innovative Chicago radio exec Ray Nordstrand
		Although the Evanston-born Nordstrand had been fascinated by radio since his early childhood, his hiring by the then-infant WFMT in the early 1950s was unplanned.
		And although listeners frequently praised WFMT's newscasts, few realized that the station had no news staff.
		"His ingenuity and his faith in the good taste of people are what made WFMT," said author and broadcaster Studs Terkel, who has been associated with the station for more than 50 years.

	Warhead and Fissile Material Transparency (WFMT) Program (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The WFMT Program reduces the global nuclear threat by promoting safe, secure nuclear reductions and transparent monitoring of nuclear warheads, fissile material and associated facilities through the development of technical measures and policy options, and the negotiation of agreements.
		The Agreement commits Russia to downblend 500 metric tons of HEU extracted from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons for use as power reactor fuel in the United States, reducing the potential for proliferant diversion of excess Russian nuclear weapons materials.
		The WFMT representative negotiates transparency measures that are then implemented by U.S. experts to provide confidence that HEU from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads has been downblended to low enriched uranium (LEU).

	THE FINE ARTS QUARTET AT WFMT RADIO Music & Arts CD-1154
		The FAQ of those years lives on in the esteem of many of today's established chamber musicians, as well as of young entrants into the profession, who grew up listening to the recorded performances of the ensemble.
		Most of the quartet's commercial recordings are no longer available, so we are fortunate to have discovered the original archival tapes of a series of broadcasts at Chicago's famed radio station WFMT, from which this box set derives.
		It includes a 48 page booklet with rare photos and newly written commentary by the quartet's second violinist Abram Loft.

	Chicago Reader Blogs: Post No Bills
		Oddly, though Listen Here is produced here and distributed by the local WFMT Radio Network, it can't actually be heard on the radio in Chicago.
		Elgin’s WEPS (88.9 FM) is the closest station to broadcast the show, but its 740 watt signal doesn’t penetrate city limits.
		Thanks to some corporate largesse, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will become a more visible (and portable) presence in the coming years—well, for at least the three years covered by a new grant.
