If He Runs It Like He Runs The ‘Skins, It’ll Be Back To Classical Soon

In what will likely signal an ignominious end for classical radio in Washington, D.C., Daniel Snyder, the notoriously inept (but charismatic) owner of the Washington Redskins football team is buying classical station WGMS, with plans to convert it to sports talk.
