About WCPE:
With a 30-year history, WCPE is a non-commercial, 100 percent listener-supported,
independent station dedicated to excellence in Great Classical Music, 24 Hours A
Day. Community-minded business underwriters and foundations are among the 150,000
listeners in the North Carolina broadcast area. General Manager Deborah S. Proctor's
leadership has enabled the WCPE community to include national and worldwide
listeners. Other radio stations and cable television systems can rebroadcast Great
Classical Music, 24 Hours A Day. WCPE is one of the first public broadcasters to

Guide, is published four times a year as a means to enhance appreciation and
understanding of classical music. It is distributed to station supporters and is
