WETA is My Source

...safe driving.

I am addicted to Classical WETA. Without the music’s calming influence I would be as hostile as the other drivers on the beltway rather than the mellow one who takes other drivers in stride. Classical WETA is my source for safe driving.

...great music 24/7.

Mom was a pianist and as kids we used to love to make her play for us. Liebestraum was the favorite. So I am just naturally prone to listening to good music. I like all kinds of music but I tend to leave my radio stations all on Classical WETA. I seldom ever switch so you know, when I click on, it’s always music as I say. My slogan is 24/7. My name is Fred Woods and Classical WETA is my source for great music 24/7.

...respite during the usual morning rush.

Well, our mornings begin at 5:45 and everyone walks around like a zombie, barely able to speak to each other. We have four teenagers. We focus a little bit on the morning paper and manage to grab a bite to eat and during all of this, WETA serves as a calm background to help get us started in our day. My name is Cecilia Op de Beke and Classical WETA is my source for calm during the usual morning rush.

...energy and enlightenment.

Many people think of classical music as relaxing or soothing. Nothing could be farther from the truth for me. Mozart charges me up. Haydn makes me happy and Bach just makes me glad I'm alive. Classical WETA is my source for energy and enlightenment.

...happiness.

Every time I turn my dial to Classical WETA, a smile appears on my face, whether it’s the personable hosts with their inviting voices, the exceptional music, or knowing that I can enjoy myself without being heckled by commercials. Classical WETA is my source for happiness.

— Eric J. , Annandale, VA

...sanity and good music.

I was a WGMS listener and when it transferred over I just followed the transfer. I was glad not to lose the classical music. It saved my sanity sometimes when I worked as a military support contractor and I was having rough times at work. It was nice, on the way home in the car, to listen to classical music. It's my favorite type of music. My name is Brian Shorb and Classical WETA is my source for good music.

...an enjoyable drive around town.

I listen to Classical WETA in the car with my two daughters. They both play instruments and sometimes pretend to play along with the music on the radio. Classical WETA is my source for an enjoyable drive around town with my family.

— Camille W., Washington, DC

...my favorite baritone Bryn Terfel.

I have loved opera since I was a teenager and Saturday afternoon has always been opera time. Classical WETA is my source for my favorite baritone Bryn Terfel.

What I like the most about WETA is the wonderful opportunity to volunteer at the station. Classical WETA is my source to be around fun people who appreciate classical music.

While life can be nasty and brutish, Classical WETA is like a dear friend who is always there to help me through it. Classical WETA is my source for serenity, peace and joy.
