I wish I knew. I thought it was the Grinch himself, Redskins owner Mr. Danny Boy Snyder, as I turned on my favorite radio station and heard naught but sports talk. However, I have since read that it was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who plunged the knife into WGMS’s heart. Of course the LDS Church had every right to kill WGMS, as it, as Bonneville International Corporation, was the owner of the station. I do wonder how WGMS’s classical music was not compatible with the “values-oriented programming” goals of Bonneville and the LDS Church. But how did WETA, a public radio station, become involved in the scheme? What was its role in the legal execution and how is it that WETA obtained heirship while virtually all of the on-air employees of WGMS were terminated by the Church, aka Bonneville International? And BTB, what does the LDS Church have against classical music anyway?

Does anyone know who really killed WGMS?
