KUSF Debate Rages On

One might think that after a relatively civil discussion on KQED’s Forum, the storm would have abated somewhat. KUSF music director Irwin Swirnoff got to air his grievances about “homogenization” to Classical Public Radio Network managing director Brenda Barnes, who expressed sympathy, but maintained that classical radio has a diverse listenership, too. It seemed like KUSF staffers and volunteers would grudgingly accept, and eventually acquiesce to the new online format.
