Now that you are no longer beholden to advertisers why not resume SaintPaul Sunday Morning programs to a better hour than 6 to 7 AM Sunday morning . It used to be daily at 7 PM ( perfect for pre dinner listening ). During your recent fund drive I contributed in the hope that commercial considerations will no longer drive programming .

B. LATUCHIE - EDISON NJ -

Advance play lists are no longer legal for WQXR.
WQXR had enjoyed a "grandfathered" status on this based upon the legal code. When WNYC bought - and saved the existence of - WQXR, since WNYC did not have this status, WQXR lost it.

Here is the code:

U.S. Code Title 17 Chapter 1 Sec 114(d)(2)(B)(ii)

"(ii) The transmitting entity does not cause to be published by means of an advance program schedule or prior announcement the titles of the specific sound recordings or phonorecords embodying such sound recordings to be transmitted"

and (C)(ii) "the reansmitting entity does not cause to be published, or induce or facilitate the publication, by means of an advance program schedule or prior announcement, the titles of the specific sound recordings to be transmitted, the phonorecords embodying such sound recordings, or, other than for illustrative purposes, the names of the featured artists, except that this clause does not disqualify a transmitting entity that makes a prior announcement that a particular artist will be featured within an unspecified future time period..."

As a WQXR (and W2XR) listener for the past 65 years, I've always appreciated your music output. However I've always planned my listening with your advanced playlist which you have discontined. As a result the only time I listen is when I'm driving and at home I now listen to my CDs. This is to bad because reception is good here. Now you're asking for contributions. No! Resume the advanced playlist and I'll contribute!

I just discovered your stream through the "Classical" tab on NPR.org/music, and I have bookmarked you for the longhaul. I love that your player lets me toggle between 105.9 and Q2 (Q2 gets more of my attention, but I love having easy access to either), and also that the text displays what's on tap. So simple yet so many streams don't provide this.

So thank you, in short, for being awesome. You're making this Wisconsin resident's life (and daily soundtrack) a better place.

Glenn-

First, thanks so much not only for listening but for coming through to comment. It is nice to know that WQXR is reaching around the globe via the internet.

But, I wonder if you are listening to the Q2 stream, or the 105.9 stream from the FM station. The FM station is pretty traditional Classical music. The Q2 stream, web only, is more eclectic, more "new music", edgier, may I say hipper.

You are somewhere around 5-7 hours ahead of us. 12:00noon our time, on Q2, you will hear the very bright and knowledgeable Nadia Sirota with pretty much themed programming for four hours. These days, it is atonality.

Come back and tell us if that is what you are hearing.

If you are hearing hosts at any other time, and more normal traditional Classical music, you are catching the other stream. There are comment pages for that stream.

Again, thanks for listening. Tell your friends.

And, hey, send money. Join up. This is Public Radio. WQXR is owned by WNYC, an acronym for We Need Your Cash (shades of Mary Daley and good old times)..

It has been a pleasure.

Hello, It's possible that when I listen to your station it's nighttime or early morning there in N.Y. and that you want to play easier music for night time listeners. Here in Europe I listen between 9:00 in the morning till 6:00 in the evening, and find your programing very safe and miss stronger pieces. When I first started to listen this was not the case.... so you loose me around 11:00 in the morning here when I go back to putting on C.D.'s. Just some thoughts..... All the Best Glenn

I am recently retired. I worked w/o a provision for
retirement (IRAs don't last). I don't have family-I am surrounded by a Confederacy of Dunces. Since Caleb Berhens first Monday, I have clung to
"Nadia Sirota on Q2" like a rock. 9p.m. to 1a.m. PT.
I have been committed to Contemporary Classical Music for maybe 10 yrs. But Nadia's show is my most important thing. The dogs, the girlfriend are
asleep, the household is in order and I just sink into
the couch and drink it all in. Thank you Q2, thank you, Nadia. YT, Robert MacDonald

Hey Peter-

What is your site?

Certainly one of the best stations listed among 160 others on my site!

Not only Otto's. KUSC, also, and others I cannot remember.

I think maybe wnyc2 did have the content stream into my player, Winamp.

I mean, you know, I know it's on the web site; but that means I have to click over to my browser, while I am working, as opposed to glancing at my player.

I liked WNYC2 - now I like Q2 - state of the radio art. I would like, however, to see title and performer info displayed on my media player, as it does elsewhere, like Otto's Baroque, just to mention an example.

Hungarian born american conductor
passes away on Jan. 16, 2009

I was disgusted when WNYC abanoned music programming, and considered it a breach of faith, after the City sold the WNYC foundation the licenses at below-market value.

Since 105.9 is barely audible, as far as I'm concerned the only serious music on the radio in NYC now is the classical and jazz at WKCR.

However, I will give credit where credit is due. The Q2 webstream is quite good, and is one of my regulars.

Thanks for getting Nadia Sirota back to host again. Perhaps, eventually you'll even consider giving her a show when the ghouls aren't lurking.

A suggestion- For subscribers, could you give us a "favorite" icon as well as the "buy" and "comment" links on the Playlist page? Then we could access stored names of interest at a later date to investigate and buy?

Thank you for providing an alternative to mainstream classial music. It is wonderful to be introduced unfamiliar pieces.

Why is it that I don't hear the music of Joseph Bologne aka Chevalier de Saint-Georges on your station? He was a contemporary of Mozart's and he wrote some extraordinary music. Is it because he had African blood, or what? I'd really like to know.

My prayers have been answered! 2010 will be a brighter year with Q2. Thank you.

Is the Alan Gilbert who has recorded spots for Q2 the new Maestro of the New York Philharmonic?

If so, I think it is quite a compliment for Q2 and speaks to its importance as a venue for New Music.

Please create a separate Donate to Q2 link so that you folks can know that there are people that LOVE the music being played here and value people like Terrance and Nadia like the invaluable and precious resource that they are. Please also consider creating a counter that tells fellow listeners how many others are listening to Q2 at any time.

I know you have to cater to a wide variety of listeners, but can you cut back on the barogue music and play more music that I never hear on your station. Such works as JOSEF SUK'S: Symphony in E Major, Opus 14 GIAN CARLO MENOTTI'S: Violin Concerto and Piano Concerto DING SHAN-DE'S: Long March Symphony JEAN SIBELIUS: Symphonies No. 4 and 6 BRAHMS/SCHOENBERG: Piano Quartet No. 1 In G Minor, Opus 25 Getting back to MENOTTI, how about the SEBASTIAN BALLET SUITE the Leopold Stokowski recording with the NBC Symphony Orchestra.

I have more requests, but I think this is enough for now. I get excellent reception of WQXR and I won't abandon you. Take care and all the best for 2010.

Best Wishes,

Fred Garrison

Jean-Marc Scanreigh-

Bon Jour (that's all the French I have, except the Louisiana Cajun motto "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulet").

Welcome to WQXR/Q2, where is presented an eclectic mix of "the fearless music we crave", the wine to the arts scene of New York City. The stream is at 128kbit stereo, suitable for international consumption and competition with peers.

Please tell your friends of your discovery.

Hello from Nîmes in Languedoc (France)
And "vive 2010 " for your music station!
Sc

Steve Reich's compositions are simply too repititious. When I hear his music, I switch to another classical station.

I listen to Q2 on the internet , truly the best music station of all time. It's great to hear a station that's not afraid of modern music and has such creative programming. Great work and thank you, I enjoy it so much.

I am a New Yorker who has lived in Colorado for the past 20 years. I am listening to Q2 over the internet from Broomfield, Colorado . I feel extremely lucky to live Colorado and to listen to music from NYC.

Listening to modern music although painful at times is very interesting.

thanks

Why isn't Steve Sullivan listed among your hosts? Over the last few months he's been on "Overnight Music" just as much or more than Helga Davis, whom you do list. Further, he's been a host at WQXR for years! NOTE: I am not related to him (save through Adam and Eve) nor have I ever met him or seen his picture. As a financial contributor, I want you to acknowledge Steve officially because he is a credit to the station. By the way, thanks for making him and WQXR-105.9FM clearly available in Madison, NJ

Question for Bob who says he will stream QXR through his regular speakers once he gets the correct cables. I live in CT, beyond the current 105.9 range and the only reception I get is via the computer stream. I have gotten a wireless speaker that I can move around the house, but have loads of conventional speakers. Is there a way to hook them up to the computer stream? Thanks.
Jack

Yes even though WQXR cannot reach certain destinations throughout the Tri-State area, I'm still fortunate to get it on my radio clear as I live in midtown Manhattan.

I also often sometimes wished when WQXR not only moved from 96.3 to 105.9 FM, as well as moving their offices from 122 5th Avenue down to 160 Varick Street, they should have taken down or switched their transmitter antenna of 96.3 over to their Varick Street offices and the 105.9 transmitter of what was the former Spanish format over to the 122 5th Avenue location. Those transmitters should have been switched.

I'm also glad at least they're able to still broadcast 103.7 FM and 96.7 remotely from the Poughkeepsie and Asbury Park areas.

To George Morrison (previous post):

No, it is not a simulcast. (Right now Bill McLaughlin is on QXR and New Sounds is on WNYC 93.9,

If you have a computer, you can go to either the QXR website or the NYC website and click on the Listen button. It opens a small window on your desktop and allows you to switch among all four choices.

I too cannot get decent reception even though I live in Manhattan. I am going to run the computer stream through my regular speakers (once I get the right cable).

Bob

I have on two occasions tried to get clarification from listener services: Is the HD 2 service on 93.9 FM a simulcast of WQXR on 105.9? (and not Q2) If it indeed is a simulcast, and at an acceptable streaming rate, then many of my friends in my suburban location could once more enjoy at home and perhaps in their cars, the WQXR they can no longer reliably receive on 105.9

We could use some guidance regarding brand name and model numbers of HD tuners and home and car radios as to price and performance in your 93.9 and 105.9 service areas

Barbara Appelbaum-

Barbara, this is what Q2 is all about. It is the successor to the wnyc2 stream, where especially new music is more a norm than an extra.

Joel-

Re: what's playing on Q2, there is a running playlist on the web site.

My error. Performers of the Bach Coffee Cantata are listed. But I would also like to plan for future listening. Play lists in advance would be welcome.

Q2 sounds fine on 105.9 HD/2 but I want to know what I'm hearing. Earlier today I bumped into an interesting recording of Bach's Coffee Cantata, but whose performance? And I need a play list to avoid what I don't want to hear.
Daytime listening to WQXR is in danger of becoming "easy and restful listening, classical light." How many times do we need to listen to the slow movement of the Samuel Barber string quartet, and then repeated as a massed string version, and then again as aranged for mixed chorus?

Maureen Traub-

Maureen, to which stream are you listening/ the 105.9 FM stream, which is 32kbit mono, or the Q2 stream, which is the old wnyc2 stream, at 128kbit stereo.

On the 105.9 stream, you will hear all of the announcers and traditional Classical music. On the Q2 stream, there are no announcers and you will hear more of the modern works.

Please let us know which one.

>>RSM.

My reception is in and out, but my bigger complaint is about the music - on radio I get a steady stream of the chestnuts of classical music - the Barcarole from Tales of Hoffman, Fur Elise, and all that - while on Q2 I get John Adams. Could someone tell me what the phrase "new music of the last 500 years" is supposed to mean?

To all of those who are having difficulty with your listening, I have a suggestion.

I am a loyal listener and contributor to WQXR from Milwaukee, WI.

I'm having no problem w/the new station but I listen on HD Speakers that are connected to my desk-top computer. I haven't tried the speakers on my laptop, but I do know that you can also connect the very small speaker system to a laptop.

I purchased the HD Speakers, for about $50 from Dell. I don't know if this will help any of you, but maybe it's possible that the new station has more advanced technology, which would be better suited to HD Speakers.

I do know that I was unbelievabally impressed with the difference that HD Speakers made to the sound quality of my computer, even before the switch on WQXR. I couldn't imagine that they won't improve your listening pleasure, regardless of what you're listening to.

Hope all of you contine to get the beautiful music that I so frequently enjoy!

Sir-

You are in the wrong Comments page. This page is for the Q2 internet stream.

You need to go to either Terrance, or David, or, even better, the WNYC Comments page at wnyc.org

New station is barely listenable in Central Jersey compared to the old 96.3 which was crystal clear. You better increase the signal strength or you will be losing listeners like flies (along with their donations).

The Prelude and Liebestod(?) to Tristan- sexiest music ever written.

As a long-time listener and occasional volunteer at WNYC, I can confirm that Q2 is essentially a new version of WNYC2, conceived as an alternative approach to classical music. The stream has never had live hosts -- a strategy to keep costs down -- but the real-time playlist is available through interconnected websites: q2.org,wnyc.org, wqxr.org.

If you're in the New York area, you can hear Terrance McKnight host two hours of Q2 music on WQXR, 105.9 FM, every Saturday at 10:00 PM.

Terrance is also hosting some of the WNYC public events; info at WNYC.org.

The four streams now offered by WNYC may not be the ideal for all listeners. But they try to cover a wide range of tastes, and if you're talking about classical music or serious concert music or whatever you call it it's the only game in town. Give them props or, preferably, cash, or see it disappear.

For anyone concerned enough with the kbits at Q2, the only player that I know that reports such data in Winamp, at http://www.winamp.com . The player is free. There is a paid Professional version.

>>RSM

Ah, Q2,safe at 128kbit. Thanks, I can stop screaming about Q2.

Now I only have to SCREAM for 128kbit on the 105.9 stream, on the other Comment pages.

Thanks.

>>RSM

Q2 is now listed in iTunes, and no longer under WNYC-2. Q2 will also continue to stream at 128kbps, as shown from the website and internet stream aggregators.

I am in the Bronx and I cannot hear your new station.
End of WQXR this is very regrettable.

Chris-

Not yet. Winamp is still reporting 128kbit stereo 44,100 mhz. But, even though they are calling it Q2, it is still being introduced as wnyc2.

So, maybe there will be a change. But WE CAN NOT TOLERATE 32kbits. NOT ON Q2, NOT ON THE WEB STREAM FOR 105.9!! NEVER!! NOT EVER!!.

WNYC had wnyc2 at 128kbit, and the web stream for 93.9's music 7:00PM-5:00AM at 128kbit.

WE MUST DEMAND 128kbit. IF THEY DON'T HEAR FROM US, THEY WILL THINK WE DO NOT CARE.

AM I SHOUTING, YOU'RE DARN TOOTIN'.

>>RSM

Well, now that Q2 is established the old WNYC2 MP3 speed has become the new Q2 speed. They have gone from 128k to 32k, which is hardly enough for speech let alone music.

At this speed I can't see any reason to listen, let alone actually support the station through donations.

The station is so greatly improved without all those horrible commercials! It is a joy to listen to Jeff Spurgeon's wit and good humor every morning. Thank you!

Mon 10/19/2009 11:37 am. Not only did I give you a giant donation, I just bought $200 worth of Bach's complete organ works from hyperion, because I got to hear the excellent Herrik on the excellent Pipe Dreams last night! ... So, stop the stupid commercials already! You promised there would be *fewer interruptions* -- they may be shorter but I don't hear fewer. ... Just because they promote your wonderful shows instead of magical skin creams doesn't really make them any better. And loose the news! ... I don't think anybody minds hearing your thoughtful on-air personalities tell us stories about the music they *are playing* or *are going to play*; but I don't need to hear the disasters of the day or what's playing next week, or at least that much of it.

-- best wishes

Since 1964 to Oct. 2009 It was my station.
Why you desided to change to another station which is worst for the classical music and only for bad music? Why did you do it? I am terribly say to hear your music.
Evan D at 08889 for 35 years.

I am a long-time WNYC supporter. I would be willing to contribute more for WQXR advance playlists, even if it is only the major selections. Consider a subscription fee for (daily?) playlists in advance, e-mailed directly.

At home I listen on the internet, so no problems there. Via webstream, I can hear West German Classical Radio, out of Cologne, just as well as a New York station. But over the air, there's essentially no longer a classical music station in New York.

The WNYC Foundation bought WNYC AM and FM from the city (meaning the taxpayers) at below-market rate, with the promise that they would maintain them. The gradual abandonmnet of music is now complete, and as far as I'm concerned, this is a violation of the public's trust. Laura Walker and her colleagues should be ashamed of themselves, turning a valuable public asset into just another long-winded talk, talk, talk station, as if there weren't already enough of that on the dial.

Congratulations on your move; however, those of us who live in Ocean County, NJ and love classical music, we cannot hear the station. I heard unofficially that you traded your powerful antenna to the newcomers who now occupy station 96.3 FM while you took their less powerful broadcasting equipment. I truly hope that you will increase or augment the broadcasting signal so that all of NJ can enjoy 105.9 FM. I would also like to be able to listen in my car and in my home, and I can't due to poor reception.

Thank you.

Mimi Mansky

Very poor reception to western Suffolk County in car and at home. It is basically static with an extremely faint background of music. Makes me want to cry. However, Q2 on the computer is great and I like the playlists at Q2live.org.

No reception here either. Is anyone reading these comments, and if so, is anything going to be done to remedy the situation? The zip code is 10549, Mount Kisco, NY.

In addition to reduced signal strength, I notice a sudden emphasis on older CD's? If it is a rights issue, you should note that KUSC in L.A. has no problem playing very recent CD's. So why can't WQXR do the same?

Sadly, here in Somers in the very northern reaches of Westchester County, the new 105.9 signal is marginal at best. In the car it comes and goes to the point of being un-listenable. Please work on boosting the signal or relocating the transmitter. This is a sad and major loss.

Very, very disappointing. I live in mid Nassau county and the reception is absolutely horrible. This cannot be what was intended by the move...

I'm in zip code 10590. Essentially no signal for WQXR. I'm completely disappointed! I believe H. Felton is correct. This is the end game. WQXR can not survive where it is on the dial. It will be quickly abandoned (combined with 93.9). Sorry to see it go. In my opinion the music programming on WQXR was far superior to WNYC. I intend to reconsider my ongoing pledge to WNYC if something is not done to save WQXR. Perhaps other supporters of WNYC should consider joining me.

I live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan and cannot get any reception at all. Can anything be done about this?

Did you know iTunesdoesn't put out WQXR under classical but WNYC2 is there? Maybe this is a temporary glitch, bur WQXR used to be a favorite internet station.

Please consider streaming the artist's name and song title so those of us with internet radios (I have a Grace) can see it on the console. KCRW, for example, tells you what you're listening to. It's half the reason for listening to new music -- so you can get a bit of an education. As it is the console says I'm listening to WNYC, 93.9, New York Public Radio, followed by "128 kbps" and "mp3." Isn't "93.9" superfluous on an internet radio, and am I the only one who doesn't care to know the streaming rate?

If numbers mean anything, I thought I'd add one more comment to this post.

Yes, it's very disappointing. For years I've enjoyed listening to WQXR at home and in the car. The reception at the new frequency ranges from barely acceptable to "forget about it and just change the station," it's so bad.

Reception in the car is a little fuzzy. Reception in the the kitchen is not possible - nothing but static. I will miss it. I guess it's just me and the CD player from now on. I hope the Times spent the money wisely when they sold the quality (and sold out the listeners).

Misery. Absolute Misery! I work in Norwalk CT (45 miles away from the transmitter) and although I can pick up the new 105.9 signal, it is overshadowed by a Hartford rock station that is 71 miles away! The other day I heard Mozart interrupted every few serene measures by Def Leppard singing "Love Bites." Sure I can listen on my computer, but since I spend so much time in my car, that doesn't help. Can they maybe be picked up by XM or Sirius???

I feel totally abandoned, not to mentioned - as a devotee of modern classical music, trashed. I live in Millbrook NY and always felt blessed to receive WNYC and your wonderful music programming which treated classical music as a living entity rather than a museum installation. I can recieve niether 105.9 nor the WXQR repeater 103.7. So much for membership support. What a farce. As though what the world needs is more talk radio.

I live on the upper west side of Manhattan. OTA reception is poor in stereo, acceptable in monaural. The stream is a shame for our kind of music at 32K. Not only the bit rate, whoever supervised the Mahler 3rd broadcast was a murderer. (Perhaps it was agc?). I downloaded the broadcast to my computer and then luckily found that the Philharmonic had a listen-again feature offering the Mahler 3rd for one week. You would not believe the comparison. Actually, I was in Avery Fisher for the performance and could listen to this performance forever. Thanks, Philharmonic. Boo WQXR.

I enjoy the music selection much better but the reception is absolutely horrible!!! I am located in 11362, which is about 15 miles or so outside the city with an advanced hi fi tuner and antenna setup but to no avail. Do they plan to address this situation?

I miss the hourly news report at the old WQXR, would you please put it back?

32K feed and it definitely shows (or whatever the audio equivalent is). I use iTunes to listen, and switch sometimes to other stations (gasp!). If I use the pop-up player from your site, the sound quality is "fine" but you are streaming a "poor" 32K as Mp3 into iTunes. I can only assume you are using a higher rate for your own site. And I would rather have all my stations in iTunes rather than keeping a browser player open. Could I? Yes. Just rather not.
I've had WQXR in my life since childhood and it pains me think I may stop listening, especially after a move away from NYC leaving me only the internet option. Please consider upping your bandwidth on the Mp3 feed to at least 96K as it was before the change.
I had let my membership to WNYC drop when I moved and was considering rejoining in support of WQXR (music) programming. But please give me a decent quality sound in return!

very poor reception on radio.
I don't use the internet as a substitute, so I'll
listen to 99.5(wbai).
If the management of 105.9 wants to charge I am not paying to listen to classical music.

WNYC executives knew before the frequency swap that the 105.9 signal is extremely weak and virtually unlistenable throughout the NYC area. Yet you have no announced plan to upgrade the signal.
Thus, I'm guessing WNYC has a hidden agenda. At some time next year, I believe WNYC will announce that since so many listeners have complained they now find WQXR unlistenable, and thus won't pledge to pay for it, you are moving it to the internet, perhaps calling it Q1, and then selling the 105.9 frequency.
Otherwise, why would WNYC have accepted a low-power frequency in trade for 95.9, a full-power franchise?
In any case the WNYC Foundation and the NY Times deserve condemnation for teaming to end free classical radio in NY.

In my apartment in Manhattan, I'm having trouble getting the station signal without significant interference (though I have no trouble with WNYC-FM and had no trouble with the old WQXR frequency.)

I'd simply listen to the online stream, but it is a very narrow 32kbps -- free of static, but hardly high quality. Ditto for the Q2 stream -- if you're a news station 32kbps is fine, but you really need 128kbps for music. The weird thing is, WNYC is currently streaming at 128kbps even though it barely plays any music any more at all. Someone's got a twisted sense of priorities.

I used to get a clear resonant transmission from 96.3. On 105.9 the signal seems compressed, and lacks resonance. I have a great receiver, and am getting a full strenth signal. I live just outside Morristown, NJ, approximately 30 miles from New York. What in the bandwidth or the equipment has changed?Listening on the internet with $50 speakers sounds better than on my expensive hi-fi equipment. Also I miss the daily "quiz"

105.9 does not reach me in Northern Westchester so I opt for Q2 on my computer but many of the recordings are unidentified; moreover I cannot find a pinted schedule listing said music.

I can't get your signal anymore either in my home (attic antenna) or in the car in West Islip. There is a lot of bleed-over from other stations interfering with the reception. Can you suggest another radio that eliminates bleed-through? Will you have a second repeater frequency for eastern Long Island, as other stations do?

Listening via iTunes:

It's actually easy, though not documented on the site!

In the "What's On Now" box on the upper right, click on the feed you want to listen to: WQXR 105.9, WQXR Q2, WNYC 93.9, or WNYC AM.

Then click on the down arrow next to the "Other Formats" text to the right of the blue "Listen Now" button. Select "MP3".

This will download a pointer to the feed you want. If your system is set up properly, iTunes will launch with the stream. Note that the name of Q2 currently appears as WNYC2 in iTunes.

If it does not automatically launch iTunes, look for the file downloaded (which should have a name like mp3.pls) and double click it.

You can them load other streams.

(The old WQXR stream that you may have is no longer valid. Delete it first!)

Reception in Manhattan is awful. I'm close to the transmission but I guess buildings in the way block the signal. Investigating HD radio purchase NOW.

What a mess! I've looked everywhere on your new Internet site,Q2, to try to determine if it will still be possible for me to continue to receive your classical music from itunes on my apple. Will I have to move from Phoenix to NYC and listen to your local radio broadcast?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
WQXR Radio:

Q2 is an internet stream with separate programming from WQXR. You will be able to listen to both via iTunes under Radio and Classical or via the pop-out player on the right of all www.wqxr.org pages. Please address any further questions to listenerservices@wqxr.org. Thanks for your support!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to find a playlist for the new WQXR to determine if "Saturday Afternoon at the Opera" is stilll on, and if so, what it is. If it's gone (pity) I'll at least not have to set my alarm clock to wake up by 1pm! It would be nice to know!

I was able to listen to WQXR thru a stream in iTunes where it was wirelessly transmitted to my airport express hooked up to my stereo (I live in GA). Will the stream in iTunes continue?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
WQXR RADIO:

Yes, both WQXR and Q2 will be available in iTunes under Radio and Classical. Please address all further questions to listenerservices@wqxr.org. Thanks for your support and keep listening!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am VERY,VERY upset..... I can not get a signal from 105.9
My new speakers are also VERY upset!!!
I'm located in Greenwich, Ct. .... on the border of N.Y.

From 22 miles out in NJ. Fine reception. The wonderful announcers are back. Excellent choice of music so far. I for one am delighted. Will listen another week or so and then become a member (presuming all continues well). Great to have QXR continuing in high quality.

Just to let you know that I am getting WQXR loud and clear on the internet here in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

jfd

Now that I'm retired, I listen to WQXR the entire day. I'm used to planning my errands around your playlist. I assume from the website and your announcements that you will no longer publish advance playlists, and I will miss them terribly. Although your signal is not quite as strong, I am still able to listen. I guess I'll have to get used to serendipity, or switch to CDs.

I cannot get your signal (105.9 fm) .I live in
Huntington NY

"Q2 puts you in the room with some of the most beautiful music being created today..."

What definition of "beautiful" is Q2 working from? Or rather, how broad is Q2's definition? I ask because I've been a struck by a narrowness in the Evening Music programming relative to the current New York scene. I see a a particular linear historical track having been taken on as fact at WNYC, WNYC2, Q2, et al. If you disagree, I'd love to hear why.

Thanks
