Save Classical Music and Other Music Programming on WITF-FM
Save classical music and other music programming on WITF-FM Harrisburg, and help keep it a focal point of the radio station.
Why is this important?
"WITF-FM will eliminate all of its classical music programs, once a staple of the public radio station...The new direction takes effect Monday, June 25, ending a 41 year tradition. Weekdays, the switch will fill the central Pennsylvania station's hours entirely with news and information..."
The radio station's board of directors along with President and CEO Kathleen Pavelko have approved the changed. Although there is certainly value in news and informational programming, this decision seems one-sided. Many music programs such as "Classical Air," "Music Through the Night," "Thistle and Shamrock," and "Echoes" are being axed in favor of informational programming. For many years, WITF-FM has been a station which offered a balance of music programming and informational/news programming. This decision takes away much of the musical programming that so many Central Pennsylvania residents enjoy listening to.
We're calling on Ms. Pavelko to reconsider the decision and bring back music programming on WITF-FM for the benefit of the community.
Get involved and see what you can do to help keep classical music and other music programming a focal point at WITF-FM. More information can be found on the following website.
