Comments on: Vision Festival XIII: The Aftermath http://www.prex.com/blog/vision-festival-xiii-aftermath/ A Music Reviews and News Blog Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:58:23 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Cephas Bowles http://www.prex.com/blog/vision-festival-xiii-aftermath/comment-page-1/#comment-513 Cephas Bowles Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:43:21 +0000 http://www.prex.com/blog/?p=171#comment-513 Thanks for citing "WBGO" in the blog. WBGO's programming has not undergone significant content changes for the past several years. We have, however, tweaked the content around the edges to make it more enjoyable for a larger segment of the audience. Please remember that WBGO is the sole, 24-hour, jazz-focused radio station in the entire metropolitan area. WBGO is a listener-supported radio station that depends upon the voluntary contribution of listeners. Many of these listeners have never financially supported the station. This is due to many reasons and is the mantra of public radio. Most listeners haven't supported the award-winning news, classical music, Triple A and other traditional public radio formats. Unlike other stations around the country who changed format because of this fact, WBGO has remained consistent in its presentation of jazz music. As long as we can raise the funds needed to support the station, we will give you a 24-hour daily dose of great jazz. We play the classics as well as current-day fare, including new releases, by living artists. And, please know that no one at WBGO is programming the station in his or her image. I like certain types of jazz but understand the need to appeal to a larger audience. As such, I subordinate my tastes for the station's greater good. Please look at it from this perspective. Thanks, again, for the inclusion of WBGO in your post. Cephas Bowles General Manager WBGO Thanks for citing “WBGO” in the blog.
