WUIS Talks

The other day a listener called wondering when WUIS was going to air the 2007 Holiday Pops concert by the Illinois Symphony Orchestra. 

Unfortunately, we’re not.  In case other listeners have wondered the same thing, I’d like to share the basic reasons…

1)      It takes 2 weeks to produce the broadcast-quality recordings of the symphony concerts and the 2007 Pops concert on December 15^th wouldn’t have been ready for broadcast until after the holiday season, and…

2)      WUIS only has permission to broadcast music that the symphony owns and records.  Much of the music in the Pops concerts requires additional licensing negotiations for recording and broadcast.
