The Sound and the Fury Over KUSC : . . . COUNTERPOINT

“M ore Talk, Less Bach,” last Sunday’s story on KUSC-FM by Patrick Mott, has prompted an outpouring from readers . Those critical of the station’s revamped format outnumbered supporters by more than 2 to 1. A sampling of their views: Oh, c’mon, all ye faithful, get with the program. Forty minutes of morning commute becomes 91.5% better with Grice easing the way.

I’ve gained knowledge and appreciation of the classical genre via the eclectic programming of KUSC. Thanks for introducing this neophyte to the three Bs. I have bought dozens of classical records first heard on KUSC.

Perhaps I may even venture downtown if this “halfway moron” can find my way to the Philharmonic. Until then, my support goes to the morning airwaves and Grice’s classy chitchat. Keep on truckin!”
