SUBJECT: Please, please turn on the title feature that shows what I am hearing while I am driving!!
As one who must spend far too much time in my car, I am often frustrated by tuning into the middle of a piece and seeing on my car screen WETA Classical at the top, Classical for Washington at the bottom which is redundant and provides no information about the piece that is playing. Frustration abounds.
Lately, information has always been sporadic, but lately it has become worse. The simple fix is for all hosts to routinely turn on the feature that gives the title and composer of the work. By making this practice official in your manual of standard operating procedures, all hosts can solve the problem with a flick of the switch.
WETA Classical is missing a great, just-in-time opportunity for classical music education, leaving your semi-literate listeners to guess ...and to stew unnecessarily over lack of information. Please help us out here: Kindly, TURN ON THE TITLE! All of Washington will thank you.
Yours in awe of the composers and performers who have bequeathed an incomprehensible gift of music that brings so much joy to our lives,
Meg Maguire
