There sure are a BUNCH of disappointed WQXR listeners posting to that 
blog about the switch! Classical fans should just be HAPPY to still 
have ANY Station in the market with that format. Advertisers will now 
ONLY buy the 12+ Radio Stations...PERIOD.

My question is this: Why on Earth did you reduce the Bandwidth of the 
Internet Stream? As cheap as Bit Casting is to do, why not keep the 
High Fidelity 93 kbps stream? As demanding as Classical Music, as 
well as Classical Music Fans are, a 32 kbps stream is just NOT going 
to deliver the quality it takes to send out that format.
