The days of sitting down in front of your

the reality.

Luckily this is not totally true. I live in the "sticks" and can tune
in to Vermont Public Radio's digital feed. They play classical music 24
hours a day and do the live broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera on
Saturdays. Each weekday evening they present "live" (taped) concerts
from around the world. This includes the Concertgebouw, Chicago
Symphony, New York Phil, Cleveland Orchestra and others. Each
afternoon, "Performance Today" presents concerts from around the world.
Sound quality is excellent but somewhat compressed.
