Is it ever okay for a radio station to censor content?

IPR's Sound Garden Project musicians approached people at gas stations, golf courses, laundromats and grocery stores, playing music for them and asking for their opinions.

When IPR went on the air in 1963, FM radio was the only way to connect with us. Now there's email, apps, social media, streaming and, of course, FM.

As IPR transitions its music library from physical CDs to digital music files, we're living and reliving a lot of the history that exists in that music library.

Public media services around the country are removing classical music from their daily radio broadcasts. It's a tough but understandable choice.

Summer residents say they wish they could listen to Classical IPR all year. So why don't they stream us?
