The combination of your on-going "technical difficulties" which makes our reception intermittant and your programming changes towards "elevator music" has lost us. What a shame! We've been fans and contributors for years. |

You seem to be slowly moving towards becoming a pop station. Too bad. We need at least ONE station in the area that plays genuine classical music. Other listeners alos seem to have this concern. Why not have a poll and see if folks are willing to pledge if you go with 100% genuine classical. |

I just wanted to say that I enjoy your programming! It is so nice to have your station here, and I very much enjoy all the movie themes, great orchestral pieces, solos and more! Two years ago I'd have accused someone of illness if they would have said that classical music was to be my favorite kind, yet XLNC1 has made it so. I find it a very comforting time of the day, and I hope your station never truly signs off for good. I keep a notepad handy to write down the ones I have liked best, it already has four pages filled, and more to come. That only selections are played helps us "young people" to find what we enjoy, and the announcements on air and on the site help us find what we want to hear more of, yet to play the whole piece would not allow for as much a variety. (Much in the same way other stations play a few tracks, but not entire albums.) I have already said so before, but I still like the bilingual aspect to the station, I hope it is as bilingual on both sides of the border. Thank you again! |

You seem to have become a "classical music light" station. I think this is an unfortunate change. I find myself much less likely to listen to your station because of this. We have enough "pop" stations available. It would be nice to have at least one serious music station. Fortunately, at home, internet radio is available so now I listen to WGBH. |

Would like to request more recent (or even still living) composers. My favorites are Olivier Messiaen, Boulez, Xenakis, Barraque, Elliott Carter (still composing at 101!), and Milton Babbitt (still composing in his 90s!). I also like Conlon Nancarrow, John Cage, and our very own Harry Partch (!).
BTW, thanks for the Janacek Sinfonetta earlier today(:~D) |

Do I see a faint trace of hope? This morning I heard Mozart's Violin Concerto #1 - IN FULL!! It was magically beautiful!! And two mornings ago, although so early (6 am) I tuned in too late to hear it all, you had Hummel's marvelous Trumpet Concerto. Oh to have more such works throughout the day, and especially full symphonies. Please try to again become the XLNC station I have supported for these past years. Thank you!! |

rm hits it on the nose.
You never did play whole pieces.
You still don't identify many pieces (in English).
You play the same pieces over and over again.
You play too much movie music, pops, elevator music, jazz, etc --- everything but classics, during the day.
Don't expect further renewals. |

rm used an expression "easy listening music". I am afraid this is what XLNC 1 is now, an easy listening station, no longer a classical music station. I agree with many of your writers, you are not playing the classics as the composers meant them to be heard. You recently played two small bits from the choral symphony, Beethoven's ninth. I am sure Beethoven would have been very sad. I was. And I agree that the young listeners you are trying to reach are not learning much about the classics when you are not playing pieces in their entirety. |

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying your program. I notice that you are playing some light classical now. I would love to hear more of the light operas. Thanks very much Fran |

Ohh come on!
Non-profit organizations are in a very dangerous time.
They need to get money from almost any kind of business.
We should thank XLNC1 because XLNC1 just have a few sponsors and they are giving a great service. |

As a long time member, it is disappointing to hear XLNC1 broadcast commercials of "sponsors" and "partners" that are not from the Arts. The symphonies and theaters are understandable, but the others are not. If I hear one more commercial for the Balboa Park Inn I'll scream. The key reason for this complaint is calling XLNC1 "commercial free"! Give me a break! |

XLNC1 is great!
You have the BEST MUSIC OF THE WORLD.
Not just classical.
Thanks for this great gift. |

I much prefer CLASSICAL music to your new addition of Show and Pop music. Let's keep this a CLASSICAL station.
Also, would absolutely love to listen to an entire symphony, rather than a single movement. Had a composer chosen to write a single movement he would have done so. |
