The station wanted to create a classical music service with a price “low enough so that stations could use it to cover less critical dayparts.”
CPB is supporting the Indiana-based Regional Journalism Center with a $609,000 grant.
Classical music is a big part of the cultural fabric of Bloomington. But WFIU wasn’t aiming to eliminate local music programming.
An outcry from listeners prompted WFIU-FM in Bloomington, Ind., to announce Aug. 13 that it would restore classical programming to its schedule, less than two months after taking much of the music off its airwaves.
WLRN in Miami won large-market radio Murrows for feature reporting and use of sound. Chicago’s WBEZ also won for news documentary and hard-news reporting. The award for investigative reporting went to KQED and the Center for Investigative Reporting, both based in San Francisco, for “Broken Shield: Exposing Abuses at California Developmental Centers.”
