Yes, I thought that they would put up an interesting program in the end but it was very disappointment – the 340556343th time play of the Four Seasons and Beethoven VI… annoying!
The new 99.5 is up. They have a new site:

I will try tonight to see how the FM Sounds. The sound from internet is very bad so far. The Window and Real feed looks like do not work. The MP3 feed is up but sound is just horrible. I guess they need a few days to set the systems up. BTW, now they are broadcasting on all-classical station the NPR news… :-( I like the NPR news, but if I want them then I do not need the all-classical station and I would go to 90.9FM.
The Friday BSO Broadcasts is looks like did not disappear. That is very good sign. A day after tomorrow they have a life broadcast from Frazer studio with … The Four Seasons. That would be a good test for the quality the new 99.5 will offer. How is reception in your area? Where do you live? Do you have a directional antenna?
