 Greg Sandow -- Classical Music Cuts at WNYC
But their complaints about WNYC -- which also include the style of the station's management -- are in a way unfair, and in the end irrelevant.
WNYC thinks it can help, by running news items -- features, interviews, evocative vignettes -- about classical music, and especially about classical events it plans to broadcast live.
What's happening at WNYC is just a symptom, and so the real question the protesters should address is how to make classical music more popular, so WNYC will have to broadcast more of it.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Before January 1997, the stations were owned by the city, but the stations formed a foundation and took control of their own licenses in 1995, largely in response to declining funding on the part of a city that was still exercising content control (thank you, Giuliani).
The site is funded through WNYC’s budget, which comes mainly through its listeners; since the public radio model of variously hectoring and begging its users has worked for decades, I see no reason why this would not continue to be sustainable.
WNYC established its archives in 2000, prior to which it had no centralized location for recordings, etc.; as mentioned above, these materials now take up three floors in their offices, while another 5,000 items await digitization in Jersey.

On March 11, 2005, New York City's NPR affiliate, WNYC, presented a 25 minute segment about the Vienna Philharmonic as part of its program "Sound Check" -- a weekday afternoon talk show about music and culture hosted by John Schaefer.
Before WNYC's broadcast of the Vienna Philharmonic's Carnegie Hall concert, composer Peter Garland presented an hour long program of historic Philharmonic recordings, which he described as, "Superior music by a superior orchestra." This description is a curious formulation, since the Vienna Philharmonic has traditionally held that gender and racial uniformity give it aesthetic superiority.
She continues: "It would be easy to descend into despair, not only about the state of journalism, but the future of American democracy.
