Your form reply to my email says "While many of our
loyal supporters may understand our programming schedule and what
genres air when, most other radio listeners follow single formats: talk
radio, rock, oldies, etc." Your "loyal supporters" are asking that you
keep Folk and Blues programming because we do know where to fi...nd it.
Folk and Blues supporters will be sure that new listeners can find the
programs if you continue. If you don't reconsider, those same
supporters will be sure that new listeners find and support those other
stations you mention in your reply to Barbara.

Please reverse this decision. You have 1,700 fans here. There are 800
fans on the Facebook site asking you to keep folk and blues programming.

I'm a long-time 'GBH member who became a Facebook Fan long enough to post this message. Folk and Blues listeners form a dedicated nucleus of support for the station. We may not have the big dollars, but we have energy and volunteer time.

A public radio station has an obligation to listen to its listener community. That... is what public means. Boston does not need another talk/news station and Barbara below notes that 99.5 FM will be all classical.Read More

Barbara Gavin I don't get it. If the new 99.5 FM will be *all classical* -- doesn't that leave more room on 89.5 for folk, jazz and (especially) blues? This member was very disappointed to learn that Brendan Hogan's great Saturday show was going to be discontinued.

Thank you for your comment. This was an extremely difficult decision – we recognize Brendan’s talents and are proud of his contributions. Unfortunately, it simply became too challenging financially to sustain the mixed format. We’re confident that running a more focused service will help 89.7 grow and strengthen into the future.

Yep - checked those out - many of those stations don't have your signal strength. And often the blues is at, say, 4AM.
It seems you are trying to compete with WBUR running news and analysis - not quite sure I understand that strategy. IMO, you'd be better off sticking with the formats that have enabled you to accomplish so much in the past 5 years.

Every time children watch TV or surf the Web, they are learning something. But what are they learning? Grown-ups need to shepherd children through the maze of images that may shape their minds, for better or worse.

Messiah Franklin walks to work along Woodbine Street in Roxbury, past foreclosed and boarded up homes, and by signs that read “private property’’ and “beware of dog.’’ But as he reaches the end of the street, he is overwhelmed by a sense of purpose.
