CONNECTICUT PUBLIC RADIO's noncommercial WNPR (consisting of WPKT/MERIDEN-HARTFORD-NEW HAVEN, WNPR/NORWICH-NEW LONDON, WEDW/STAMFORD, and WRLI/SOUTHAMPTON, LONG ISLAND, NY) is joining the growing list of NPR affiliates dropping most music programming to concentrate on news and talk programming.
The station is dropping its Classical programs from weekdays, replaced by NPR talk programming and a new daily hour-long 9a ET talk show "WHERE WE LIVE," but will retain its weekend broadcasts of the METROPOLITAN OPERA and other Classical and opera shows.
