KUSC was a great radio station 10-15 years ago. But for reasons I don't fully understand (but I imagine it had to do with money), they converted to being a "pops" station where they have a very small playlist in constant rotation, comprised of classical "hits" like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Hollywood film scores, video game soundtracks, and other crap. They also will generally play only one movement from an actual classical composition, which I find particularly annoying -- they are assuming that their listeners all have ADD.

Great job today for reading Luke chapter to give the Scriptural account of the birth of Christ. The greatest gift that God ever gave to mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ.

With the Internet slow and unreliable ... This is our only access to KUSC ... I do not know why the link from KUSC does not work... People who pledge to the station should be complaining ... ?

This station is a national treasure, and it pains me to have to stream it on my phone after seven months of being in L.A. with a station preset button in my car. The irrepressibly funny and witty Jim Svejda who must be the most well-read of any current classical host is even more missed here in Arizona. Also regards to both Rich Capparella and Dianne Nicolini for making the afternoon and overnight so pleasant.
