FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Adrienne Kennedy Executive Producer Tel: 305-995-2256 E-mail: [email protected] WLRN Public Media to Bring Classical Music Back to South Florida on Monday, August 10th. Miami, FL – July 31, 2015 – WLRN Public Media is pleased to announce that classical music is coming back to South Florida on Monday, August 10th, 2015. WLRN’s HD-2 radio channel will change from “Alternative News and Talk” to “Classical 24”. South Florida listeners can once again enjoy classical music 24 hours a day through HD-capable radios, live- stream on wlrn.org, as well as, WLRN’s iPhone and Android apps. The decision to bring back “Classical 24” by the WLRN management team was due to the recent decision by American Public Media Group to sell its Classical South Florida radio network to Christian broadcaster Educational Media Foundation. “We understand the importance and impact that classical music has in this community,” says John LaBonia, General Manger of WLRN. “We provided it before Classical South Florida arrived in 2007 and we are happy to provide the service again.” Next week listeners will be able to locate the Classical 24 Playlist at wlrn.org.

Ernie Wesolowski of the NRC reports that about 30 people attended, all of them members of both clubs. Off to your left are two photos that I was able to find of convention attendees. Sorry but I can’t put names to the bodies in the pictures, but I think the guy in the Hawaiian shirt is Frank Merrill. Ernie (red hat, I think) sent over two photos of the Omaha antenna farm. These are located on the inside back cover. This convention could very well turn out to be the last convention, so I hope those who went enjoyed it.
