Will WBJC become a top 40 station?
|
|
|
Where other Classical Music Stations play their top 40, WBJC-FM brings you our top 4,000 (and then some). Yes we play the classic Classics, but we also play the less-heard, but no less great, music from 450 to the present. While other stations are dropping or reducing their Classical formats, we are committed to bringing you Classical Music 24-hours a day, seven days a week. So the answer to the above question is an emphatic “
NO!
”

WBJC’s Fall Fundraiser (and the first of our fiscal year) begins on September 21. As a Public Radio station, we rely on listener support for nearly 70% of our revenue. You can help us reach that goal by
making a gift today.
We are the official station of the Metropolitan Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. And we bring you programming that can only be heard on WBJC:
Face the Music,
Toccata,
Music in Maryland,
Music from Movies, and others, including
WBJC Listener’s Choice, the show that you program. All of the music that we originate is programming chosen by our own on-air staff; we never use computer algorithms or fixed playlists to determine what you hear
But all of this comes at a price.
Your donation today will help keep the classical music on the air and WBJC healthy.
You can charge your pledge on our secure website by clicking here. If you prefer the personal touch, you can call our Membership Office at 410-580-5800 and we will be happy to take your pledge at your convenience.
This is really an investment in your future and the future of Classical Music broadcasting.
A gift now of $500, $250, $100, $50, or whatever you can afford, will ensure that we keep Maryland Classical.
Sincerely,
|

Joseph Hutchins
General Manager
P.S. Once again, thank you for your generous support of WBJC. Classical radio can be heard on the airwaves only because you care … and you give.

Earlier this year, I was in Chicago, visiting my sisters and brother. We were all gathered for a graduation for my nephew and niece. It was a very nice event, and after the party, my brother and I went back to sister Polly’s house for the night. He was leaving for Detroit the next morning, and I was spending a couple of days in Chicago before returning to Baltimore.
That evening, we were watching a program on PBS about the 1960’s, and, of course, a big segment on the Beatles was a part of it. While we were watching, I made the comment that I thought that in the future, the Beatles (and musicians of that ilk) will be viewed more as sociological phenomena than as musical phenomena. My brother quickly asked me what I meant by that...
