Anybody have any money? The Indiana Gazette reports that Northeast Indiana Public Radio (NIPR) is selling its three classical stations.
The organization plans to sell WBNI-FM – 94.1, WCKZ-FM – 91.3 and W204BF-FM – 88.7, [general manager] Joan Brown said.
If your station airs Performance Today from American Public Media, you can hear the piece John Williams wrote for the Inauguration. Don’t you think it’s fantastic that President Obama (I love the sound of that) chose classical music for the featured piece at the Inauguration itself?
Dear President Obama,
Welcome to your new job. I know that you have many pressing concerns to deal with and that those I am addressing may not be at the top of the list today. But I ask that you make time in coming years to improve the health of both our arts community and our media environment.
Dear President Obama,
It seems as though everyone in the whole world is expecting you to solve their problems. As long as you’re at it, could you please give your seal of approval to the arts and the value they have for our kids and our communities? How about a Secretary of Arts and Culture?
