A friendly reminder that, even though WWFM has dropped both “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord,” the shows can still be heard in syndication.
For example, last week’s edition of “The Lost Chord,” which concluded my WWFM run – on very short notice, I might add – will be broadcast today on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon. KWAX carries both “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord.”
Until now, in syndication, the individual programs have aired one week after being broadcast on WWFM, so they’ve always been out-of-sync with my Facebook promos. Well, now we no longer have to concern ourselves about that, do we?
If you missed last week’s broadcast of “The Lost Chord” – “Roses of Persia,” an hour of Persian polyphonic music – you can catch it today on KWAX at 4:00 PACIFIC TIME. In the East, that translates to 7:00 EDT. A good time during which to catch the show. Actually better than its former time slot.
Tune in to KWAX and be sure to take a look around at the rest of its programming. There’s a lot of syndicated fare on weekends, but also, especially during the week, a lot of Peter Van de Graaff. You remember Peter? Why, he used to do the early afternoons and overnights on WWFM!
I think you’ll find that, in general, KWAX’s broadcasts are intelligent, professional, and personable. They don’t chop up the music like so many links of sausages, unlike some services we know. Symphonies and concertos, chamber and instrumental music are all presented complete. Furthermore, the announcers aren’t compelled to pollute the air waves with a lot of mindless blather.
You’ll note that many of your favorite WWFM shows are also carried by KWAX. Follow the link and explore. I think you’ll be glad you did.
You can refresh your memory as to the content of today’s episode of “The Lost Chord” by reviewing this post I wrote last week for its WWFM broadcast. Again, please note that the time and station of origin have changed. “The Lost Chord” may now be enjoyed on KWAX, Saturdays at 4:00 PACIFIC TIME (7:00 PM EDT).

FYI – “Picture Perfect” can also be heard on KWAX, Fridays at 5:00 PACIFIC TIME (8:00 PM EDT).
