WCPE in the News
SUPERB Classical Music awaits you at WCPE FM 89.7
By Eric Force August, 2001 WCPE - "Great Classical Music 24 Hours A Day". WCPE is one of those rare stations today still broadcasting Classical Music, and, one of the few stations in existence that's 100% listener-supported. WPCE also airs news from the BBC ten times a day. "WCPE serves the Raleigh-Durham, Chapel Hill, North Carolina area and beyond, on 89.7 FM, the Internet, and via satellite. WCPE is a non-commercial, independent, listener-supported station dedicated to excellence in classical music broadcasting." In terms of streaming audio, their outstanding programming is available in RealAudio, Windows Media and QuickTime. They also have an MP3 stream in the works that may be available by the time you read this. Since finding out about them, WCPE is the online station I usually have playing in the background while working on my PC. In fact, I'm "online" and listening to a fantastic selection right now as I type this. On the technical side WCPE streams an audio signal (RealAudio) at 32 kbps, which equates to about 16 KHz in terms of upper frequency response - that's getting close to CD quality. If you like classical, give 'em a listen - I think you'll really enjoy their programming. If you find yourself listening often, please consider offering your financial support. By the way, if you think "classical isn't cool" give it a try anyway - you'll be surprised at how fast most classical music pieces can help unwind the day's tension and sooth those jangled nerves.
