These descriptions of the current state of affairs in the US with
respect to the broadcasting of classical are truly shocking, and makes me
much more aware of how lucky we are in Canada to have the CBC.

we do of course have public radio, but the Boston one, 'GBH, only plays
classical from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. otherwise it is news and jazz. the one good
thing about 'CRB is that it is 24 hours a day.
