“Picture Perfect” is going on hiatus. I know the show has generated a lot of enthusiasm, and I am grateful for all the wonderful feedback I have received here. Also, the show is just plain fun to put together, if usually a lot of work!

Recognizing its potential to draw in listeners from beyond the classical music fold (after all, film music is what introduced me to the glories of the orchestra), I am still looking for ways to keep it alive. As I posted here some time ago, if I am able to secure underwriting I will have more leverage.

In the meantime, I am continuing to submit shows for syndication. Unfortunately, I am noticing that some stations have had to suspend their internet streaming because of changes to copyright law. You can thank the Copyright Royalty Board and SoundExchange for that.

The only station I can find that is still streaming is Geneva Community Radio, which has posted on its home page that it will temporarily suspend its service on September 24, as they relocate their streaming set-up. At any rate, 1:00 p.m. EDT on a Tuesday afternoon is hardly an ideal time to listen to “Picture Perfect,” but if you just can’t live without the show, here’s a link:

Clearly, something needs to be done in order for the show to be heard in this area. I could always move my production of it to another station, but ideally I would like to be paid for it, and I would like it to be accessible via standard radio (as opposed to HD2, which would require listening on special equipment). I’ll get it straightened out eventually. In the meantime, you can always catch up on the WWFM webcasts here:

I may be choking down shriveled carrots now, but I’m confident this is only intermission. Hope to see you on the other side.
