WCPE

WCPE (89.7 FM) in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a listener supported non-commercial, non-profit radio station, and the program contributor for The Classical Station, a classical music network. The station went on the air July 17, 1978, and switched to a 24-hour classical music format in 1984. Both are owned by the Educational Information Corporation, a nonprofit community organization. WCPE's studios are located just outside Wake Forest, North Carolina. Its main signal extends from the South Carolina state line to the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, and some parts of Charlotte, North Carolina, as well. The station is known for being unusually conservative in its musical selections and content, refusing to air selections of modern classical music, and quietly discontinuing carriage of the weekly program 'Wavelengths that focused on contemporary classical music. It refused to air modern works from the Metropolitan Opera citing adult content and mature language. However, the modern works selected for exclusion were by BIPOC composers which had all received critical acclaim and acceptance in the operatic community at large. In the same breath, the station stated it was pleased to broadcast long-time favourite operatic repertoire including Carmen, Nabucco, Romeo and Juliet and Madame Butterfly as calm and relaxing programming for the whole family. However, these tried and tested operas contain themes that include prostitution, smuggling, murder, execution, bigotry, cultural appropriation, teen suicide, child brides, misogyny, teen pregnancy, wife abandonment, child abduction and suicide. The station's argument was that the excluded operatic works are in English and thereby understandable by a more general audience; indictating the included operas are in languages other than English (French, Italian, German et al.) that the listener would not comprehend the lyrics. While the station did receive some support for this forced censorship, ultimately listener and public backlash had the station reverse their decision; and the station will broadcast the 2023-2024 Met Opera Broadcast Season in its entirety as outlined in the contrast between the station and the Met Opera.
