(Scott D. Pierce | The Salt Lake Tribune) Classical music fans line up to protest the impending changes at KBYU-FM.

Recently, I was in my bedroom checking my e-mail, and I saw something that made me scream, “Yahoo, yahoo, yahoo,” and then I ran into the other room to tell my husband: “KBYU has decided to keep their classical music programming!”

He said “Oh, I thought someone in our family had won the lottery!”

I am so happy with this decision. Thank you to KBYU for paying attention to your loyal listeners who decried the decision to abandon their classical music format, and for finding a way to keep this unique and treasured resource.
