Boston Music Intelligencer reports February ratings show WGBH listenership didn't increase after its changeover to all talk, while WCRB's has gone down since its takeover by 'GBH. Also discusses 'GBH's decision to stop talking to the site altogether.

And, if so, will it stay classical?

In what the local arts groups will see as burying the lede, the Herald's Inside Track nonchalantly reported that WCRB 99.5 would move from its classical music to an all-sports format while reporting a rumor about the Dennis & Callahan lock-out. Full disclosure, I work at a non-profit and buy advertising from WCRB. As such, though, I can tell you that area groups are already fretting over the rumor. After all of the turmoil with WCRB's sale last year, this certainly feels like déjà vu to a lot of us.

WCRB announces its poll-based Boston's Top 100 Classical Pieces and Matthew charges fraud because the list looks pretty much like what was already on the station's only-music-by-dead-people playlist:

Geoff Edgers reports that somebody's illegally broadcasting gospel and hip hop at 99.7, making it impossible for people in Ashmont to hear the classical station. Wonder if it's these guys? In any case, Edgers adds the FCC is on the case. I found the link to the station site on this page, which lists a whole bunch of low-power and pirate stations in Boston, many serving the local Haitian community.
