- Samhälle och kultur
When I was hired at WGTD in 1986, it was primarily to organize and host our classical music programming- which back then was considerable. My musical duties here at the station- which have gradually given way to other responsibilities over the years (chief among them being the Morning Show) - are about to end because of a format change that goes into effect on Monday, May 20th. (It reflects a necessary and logical format change at Wisconsin Public Radio, with which we are an affiliate.) Under the new format, we will be part of the WPR network that is devoted almost entirely to news/information/talk ..... and classical music will move to the other network. It's a change which I fully understand and embrace, but it still marks for me the end of an era - so I want to archive my last two Music Potpourri programs here on the podcast. (NOTE: The Morning Show remains unchanged in the new format.)
