Changes on the horizon for WUIS
Public radio affiliate switches weekday focus from music to news
The IllinoisTimes reports that WUIS, Springfield announces they will take classical music off WUIS-FM and replace the midday offering with News/Talk programming. Classical music will be available on-line through the station's Website and on HD2. The programming will be provided by APM's Classical 24.
The launch of the new programming will coincide with the station's launch of a locally produced Illinois Central. The first half hour will focus on news. The second half hour will focus on the arts.
Compare this coverage to the coverage WNPR got from the Hartford Courant when the station changed it's programming. The Courant was able to include some immediate reaction from the classical music audience.
