All-Music (But Not Classical) at WKNU

After the bad news about WETS dropping most of its music in favor of talk, David Duff, President of the Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio, writes:

WNKU–which serves the Cincinnati market–is changing their format to go all music. WNKU is a AAA station, but Cincinnati is already served by WGUC, a 24-hour classical outlet, and WVXU, an all-news outlet.

 Claiming a victory when I see one.

 The AAA format will include indie rock, world music, alternative rock, alternative country, and blues.  Not classical.
