Just like changing Georgia’s Sunday liquor laws, every couple years a group of NPR-addicted folks bring up the idea of urging WABE, Atlanta’s public radio godsend, to drop its six-hour afternoon block of classical music and replace it with more news. Independent-bookstore owners and dentist offices shore up their resources and successfully quash the uprising. And Lois Reitzes, she of soothing voice and limitless classical music know how, continues to guide us through the day.

Local new-media maven SpaceyG wants to start another insurgency.

I can’t take it any more… 6 hours of classical music programming a day at WABE = 6 too many. Apparently I’m not the only one. So I started a Facebook Group called 6 Hours A Day = 6 Too Many! Please join the group if you’re on Facebook. And let’s let WABE know, by Fall Pledge Drive time too, that we’re very unhappy out here on the receiving end of the airwaves with being held hostage to 6 hours of tedious classical programming a day… especially when we could be hearing some news and talk and other more timely and progressive PUBLIC programming.

I’d be careful, Spacey. Don’t you know Reitzes is part of Atlanta’s Jewish Radio Mafia?
