Description
DETROIT (Oct. 31, 2000)—History's greatest works of music once again stream from the Motor City as ClassicalMusicAmerica.com webcasts from Southeastern Michigan. The Internet music station features programming hosted by three of the Detroit-area's most-recognized classical music authorities, all broadcast radio veterans of the former WQRS-FM.
ClassicalMusicAmerica.com spotlights the words and selections of Detroiters Davis Gloff, Jack Goggin and Pat McElroy, all distinguished voices in Detroit radio. Davis Gloff hosts weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., Pat McElroy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Jack Goggin from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Reuniting the three radio veterans on the World Wide Web site marks the return of the classical music format from—and to— southeast Michigan.
"This is Detroit radio—classical music for Detroiters, by Detroiters," said Robert F. Ottaway, founder of Classical Music America, L.L.C. "Now, the greatest music of all time is provided through the world's newest medium. Thanks to the Internet, everyone around Detroit and around the world can hear classical music with an authentic Detroit feel. Local events, music and recording artists are prominent in the mix."

Heard on the street: None of the hosts have been with this station for 6 years, after rumors of non-payment of on-air hosts began to be reported in the Detroit area. The station uses 6 year old sound bites of the hosts voices.
