Sometimes, change can be a good thing!

Hi there,

By now, I'm sure you've heard that WCRB will be sold to WGBH sometime in the next 60 to 90 days. I've heard from many of you asking what that means for WCRB.

The good news is: WCRB will remain a classical station! What a relief! As you know, whenever there are ownership changes at radio, there are questions about what the new owners intend to do.

WGBH will also transform WCRB to a non-commercial station when the sale goes through.

Here's to many, many more years of classical music on the air in Boston!

My best to you today,
Mark

Time away from Boston

Good morning!

It's a beautiful late summer's day here in Boston.....let's enjoy these days while we still can!

As I return from the Labor Day weekend in Georgia, and contemplate heading to the midwest for a few days with family, I'm reminded how fortunate we are to have WCRB on the air in New England. There really aren't many full-time classical stations in many regions. Some will play classical music at odd hours....but if you are visiting and unfamiliar with the schedules, you are often left with choices such as talk radio, really loud music, or no radio at all.

So, I wanted to just take a minute this morning and thank you for making this happen. It's your support that keeps WCRB on the air.....and it's a privelege to be part of this great radio station.

Enjoy the day.....and the music!

Mark
