At any rate I've already heard two pre-recorded DJ programs on CRB repeated later, both originating from other sources, as well as numerous waltzes and other super-lightweight material reminiscent of the old CRB. And they still play mere movements from whole works. Feh! They have plenty of room for Friday at Symphony if the will is there.
Yes, I have noted too that 99.5 in style more incline to the old WCRB. The WGBH was “art and culture” and they have more music imbedded in context. The new WCRB is more DJ-type of station the juts play records. The hosts are there but they do not do interring programming.  What I would like to see is the new WCRB give more power to the programs like Brian Bell’s “BSO on Record” where music is imbedded into histories, research, educational programming, interviews etc. As far as I concern I LOVE to see Brian Bell to run the entire station and to be responsible for all programming.
