I'm listening to "Die Zauberflöte" being broadcast live from the Met on WQXR now; even in English in truncated form, Mozart's genius comes through; here's the quintet ("Hm, hm, hm") from Ingmar Bergman's charming film of "Trollflöten":

Almost every station has been playing the same disgusting commercial, especially those owned by iHeart and Audacy. Some stations like WBLS even added a "This ad doesn't reflect the views of the station" warning. Not-for-profit stations like WQXR and WKCR are the exceptions

Does anyone know how WQXR is these days? I loved it when I lived in NYC but that was a long, long time ago.

Great looking piece of kit!
Mine, from some off-brand called OneConcept does not have the classic retro aesthetics as the Roberts but I've been more than happy with it since I ordered it from Berlin about 4 years ago.
And if @andrewmale.bsky.social is reading may I recommend WQXR and Concertzender?

Cliché Alert: Don't give them any ideas.
I should explain: As NY's last surviving classical station, now at 105.9 on the FM dial, WQXR strives to be cultural but also inclusive, high-class without being high-horse. No upturned noses. They have no problem playing John Williams' movie themes.

WQXR, New York's classical music station, began the 4:00 PM hour with a piece composed in 2023.
Now, "classical" refers to a style, not an age. So the year is not the issue.
The piece was the theme from "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."
WQXR is broadcasting video game music.
Oy.

アメリカの公共ラジオ放送局は、トランプ政権の財源カットでどこも運営が苦しくなっている。もともとリスナーの寄付金は重要な財源だったが、今はそれに頼るしかない。普段からリスナーに寄付を呼び掛けたり、寄付特別週間をやったり、「要らなくなったクルマを寄付すると一言言ってくれれば、手続きはこっちでやるよ」みたいなのもアナウンスしていたりしたが、それが最近はかなり頻繁で露骨になってきた。今朝ニューヨークのWQXRを聞いていたら「あなたの遺言にWQXRの名前を加えてもらえないだろうか」とか言っていて、しばらく言葉を失った。「discreet」という言葉はもうどこかに埋もれてしまったんだな、と思いました。
