Why can KRCC be a classical station, like most NPR stations?
The answer is twofold. KRCC was KRCC before it was KRCC the NPR affiliate. KRCC has always had an interest in bringing its listeners diverse music. Additionally, Colorado Springs already has a fine 24Hour Classical and Jazz public radio station (www.kcme.org) and no stations at all that play a diverse range of music like KRCC currently does. It just makes sense.
