A couple of brief news items:
Bravo to WFMT for supporting more live music with its new series, Live from the Morse. You can read about the new Morse Theater (and concert space) in the Chicago Suntimes.

Denver’s KVOD shifts gears
KVOD, Denver’s all-classical public radio station, used to air the around-the-clock Classical Public Radio Network. But then Colorado Public Radio, which operates KVOD, and KUSC in Los Angeles decided to stop producing the syndicated feed. That left KVOD in a position to change its game, and as the Denver Post’s Kyle MacMillan details in a well-written article, the station is indeed seizing the opportunity.
Wednesday link grab bag
Some odds and ends we didn’t get to last week amid Marty’s posts from the Public Radio Program Directors conference:

WPRB upgrades Web stream
Our devoted reader Richard points out that WPRB, the student-run radio station at Princeton University, has upgraded its online stream to stereo (it was previously mono). Here’s Richard’s take on WPRB:
WPRB presents the very best in Classical Music programming from 6:00AM (or, when someone gets there to turn on the lights) to 11:00AM, Eastern time, Monday through Friday. The highlight for me is Marvin Rosen, “Classical Discoveries.” But, in truth, everyone at this station is extremely knowledgeable and very good.
