Radio 2 Needed To Change

Lost in the debate over whether the new CBC Radio 2 (much less classical, more pop/rock) is any good is the larger question of whether there was anything wrong with the old Radio 2, which was nearly all classical. The news director at one of Canada’s main TV networks says that he likes classical music, too, up to a point, but the fact is that the all-classical Radio 2 was anachronistic and boring.
