*For a brief time, #WETA did change their radio format by foolishly dumping their classical/folk format in 2005 for the same news-intensive format found on rival WAMU 88.5.
However, WETA resurrected their classical format after then-commercial classical rival #WGMS 103.5 FM bit the dust in 2007.
From the Aug. 1975 edition of Forecast FM: A unique print advertisement for the Radio side of Washington's Public Broadcaster, #WETA on 90.9 FM*, a.k.a. "FM 91;" boasting that they didn't change formats with the tagline "WETA to the Rescue!" *For a brief time, WETA did change their radio format by foolishly dumping their classical/folk format in 2005 for the same news-intensive format that rival WAMU 88.5 morphed into. However, WETA resurrected their classical format after then-commercial classical rival WGMS 103.5 FM bit the dust in 2007. Ad copy: "WETA to the Rescue! Your favorite station switched formats? What are you going to do? We suggest you listen to WETA-FM stereo at 90.9. We have the most powerful signal in the Baltimore/Washington area/75,000 watts. WETA-FM programs classical music some 15 hours a day! Including the Baltimore Symphony Summer Festival. Your loss could be your gain! WETA-FM 90.9." Additional FM simulcast/relay signals of WETA-FM 90.9 in my home area of Frederick, Maryland at 88.9 FM and Hagerstown at 89.1 FM were added years later!

Academy Award™ Winner Sir Richard Taylor believes that you should all own a copy of Classic Monsters, Modern Art!
To be honest, I can't say I disagree. #insighteditions #wetaworkshop #fangoria #ruemorguemag #theoneringnet #dastmalchian #monsterart #weta #dracula #frankenstein #horrormovie #godzilla
Fellow #LOTR and general #Tolkien fans, can we all agree if there is as much CGI in Hunt for Gollum as was in The Hobbit trilogy (THT), we riot?
AND ABSOLUTELY NO AI.
Few things in media have disappointed me so much as THT.
GOT S6-8 are my close second.

Sidwell Friends students were one of the teams in the It’s Academic episode that aired this past weekend.
The Sidwell Friends Quakers won the day on the WETA-TV quiz show for high school students, and will move onto the playoffs later this year.

I usually watch #AntiquesRoadshow on Washington, DC’s #WETA but for some reason they’re running it at 9:00 now. Fortunately, I can watch on #MarylandPublicTelevision, too.
This evening #WETA Classical's #ChoralShowcase will be featuring J.S. Bach's Mass in B Minor performed by Pygmalion and conducted by Raphaël Pichon. I'm going to post a link to a review of the performance in the comments. Tune in or stream at 9 p.m. EST, choral fans. weta.org/fm/features/...

Can you do anything? #WETA is housed in Virginia!
Tree wētā.
I must have disturbed this Wētā in Beau Vista orchard. I was sitting down for a cuppa and it crawled onto my head. They are not the prettiest but harmless. They have claws that make them hard to dislodge. The tree wētā or pūtangatanga Wētāpunga is god of ugly things #weta #NewZealand #apple #cider
AND SO IT ENDS.-- PBS NEWS WEEKEND:
Trump/MAGA/Project2025/StephenMiller reach yet another goal to control HONEST JOURNALISM. PBS News Weekend airs final episode this Sunday, Jan 11/26 after federal funds cease or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, forcing WETA to end the show. #PBS #WETA
Odd — I usually watch #AntiquesRoadshow on DC’s #WETA but they don’t have it till 9:00 tonight, so I’m watching on #MarylandPublicTelevision.
From a 1981 issue of "Forecast!" An advertisement for the Public Radio side of Washington's WETA on FM 90.9*, with a Live remote from the now-defunct Lansburgh's Department Store. *WETA-FM 90.9 was once billed as "FM 91," as 90.9 is close to "91" on the analog FM tuning dial.

Weta on apples being washed.
Wētā are native insects of NZ. They are giant flightless crickets. This is one I disturbed collecting in apples. Wētā are preyed on by introduced pests - rats cats hedgehogs and some are now critically endangered. They live in holes in our apple trees where rot has set in. #weta #apples #orchard

NPR talk radio donor:
“WAMU is the sound track of my day.”
What could be sadder than a soundtrack without music?

The WetaFX Christmas party, I think back 2019/20 after Avatar 2. I worked as a matte painter for them, however they tasked me to create a vast 22000x2000 pixel movie to project on the inside of the stadium. It was meant to feel like a window and the stadium was a Spacestation. #vfx #weta #christmas
A glimpse of a Jan. 1975 edition of the Washington/Baltimore Hi-Fi journal, "Forecast." Never knew until now that Washington's WETA 90.9 FM once aired repeats of "The Great Gildersleeve." I recall it was a staple of WAMU 88.5's "Recollections/Big Broadcast" old-time radio retrospective show growing up in the early-to-mid 1990's.

☢️#63. I Am Mother, 2019. Despite derivative ideas and telegraphed influences, an impressively natural performance by #ClaraRugaard against a wonderful #Weta creation helps this #scifi thriller land. #RidleyNot. 3.5/5 ☢️

Perhaps it would help to set the local station to one in the Eastern Time Zone. There’s Washington, DC’s #WETA.
