Go to the WETA FM Blog and read the backlash from WETA listeners to this extreme programming change. I expect thousands of people like me woke up this morning wondering what had happened to their morning dose of BBC and NPR Morning Edition while Bach tried to smooth their tempers. Overwhelmingly, listeners are against this change and are vocal about it. Many complain this change was taken without listener input or comment. Many are switching to WAMU and refusing further contributions to WETA. All in all, this seems to have been sprung upon an unsuspecting listening audience with the real winner being Bonneville International Corporation (Church of Later Day Saints). They, in effect, gave a commercially failing station to the public to foot the bill and get great publicity. One wonders just how much influence they will now have over WETA and how much less influence we the listening public will have.
