What happened to the live hosts? They were imperfect and frequently mispronounced musical terms, but they were better than the canned programming we have now, which, by the way, is the same used by the classical music station in Cincinnati. The hosts make silly, facetious comments, making everything a joke, and play popular music, film scores, bad arrangements of good music, etc. I'm glad Daniel Gilliam is gone, I could not stand him, but I don't like the new format at all. And From The Top? I truly hate that program and have complained about it for years, but you keep airing it. I don't like classical music trivialized by a bunch of adolescents and the host of From The Top. You have ruined this station. What happened to the live hosts?

I thought that you or someone there might be interested in what he is doing for classical music education which is important in light of the current battle to cut the federal budget for allocations to public radio and arts and music education. Discover Beethoven’s 5th, a one-hour interactive music experience taped before a live audience in Victoria Theater at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark is designed to bring audience members more pleasure from classical music listening. Focusing on Movement I of Beethoven’s famous Symphony No. 5, the program is performed by the members of The Discovery Orchestra® and is hosted by artistic director and conductor George Marriner Maull. The program, distributed by American Public Television, has already been selected for broadcast by nearly 100 public television affiliates nationwide with 30 broadcasts scheduled on stations coast-to-coast in March alone. Discover Beethoven’s 5th follows the orchestra’s educational television show, the Emmy-nominated Discovery Concert®: Bach to the Future©. I have a DVD of the production George sent to me and a press release if anyone at the station would be interested. Thanks for your help by passing this along to whomever at WUOL might be interested in interviewing George. Tedi Vaughan, Director of Development, School of Music. Alan,

It was beautiful, and I'm wondering what it was and if you could play it again soon. Last week (2-20/26)possibly on Thursday you played a work by an Armenian composer.
