Editing WHYY-FM (section)

==Format change==
Until 1990, WHYY served the region as a non-commercial station with a format that featured mostly [[classical music]] with some [[jazz]] and [[folk music]]. The management decision to establish a news/talk [[radio format]] was a departure from the classical music that most public radio stations were programming. The format switch left the privately owned [[WBEN-FM|WFLN]] as the only Philadelphia classical station and resulted in protests from many of the station's listening audience who were among WHYY's major contributors. After WFLN's new owners also abandoned the classical format in the late 1990s, [[Temple University]]'s [[WRTI]] (90.1 FM) began programming classical music during the day to serve the displaced listeners.
