Clark, an interesting thing to explore might be the discussions between WGBH and the BSO. Here's a possibility: Until last month, of course, the BSO had long-standing agreements with two different entities: WGBH and WCRB. Now, the BSO has to re-think both agreements. I have no idea what's happened to the BSO's concert attendance in the past ten years or so, but I do know that both the important orchestras in our home area--the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (our BSO, by the way)--have lost a huge part of their audiences. Could it be that your BSO is trying the equivalent of a sports blackout: if the stadium isn't sold out, the broadcast is blacked out? Don't know; just sayin'....--scadesRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
