  As program director Alex Cortright explains, WRNR is trying to figure out a way to successfully blend art and commerce.
  
  "Although total free-form craziness is a beloved idea and philosophy, it just doesn't work," said Cortright."But we're doing our best to keep it alive and kicking."
  
  By mixing more contemporary and popular music into their eclectic style, WRNR is hoping to reach newer audiences and to draw more advertising.
  
  "We were so far out of the mainstream," explained Cortright."Now we will be embracing more new artists and new music while still playing the artists everyone knows and loves."
  
  While the pressure to reach new listeners increases, long-time listeners can expect to hear a "tighter," more current WRNR, with "less music from bands that nobody cared about when they were recording and still don't care about now," said Cortright.
  
  Pop rock groups like The Bare Naked Ladies, who were virtually never aired on WRNR, will now be aired as frequently as the Grateful Dead, a WRNR favorite.A programmed format will also mean less chat from the jocks and smoother transitions between songs.
  
  Undoubtedly, the changes at WRNR will receive mixed reviews from fans.
  ...
  Cortright expects good reviews as well as bad."I think people are going to be excited as well as disappointed by WRNR trying to pen up to a broader audience," he said."Sadly, there are just too few music enthusiasts these days, and we've got to grow to reach the people that should be listening to us."
  
  WRNR's programmed format does not affect the entire 24 hours of music.About one-third of WRNR's format, the wee evening and early morning hours, will remain freeform.

  Alex Cortright, WRNR's morning DJ, will be broadcasting live from Castlebay from 6 until 10 a.m., and I'm sure there will be all sorts of hijinks taking place.

  In April of 2002, I got a call from Alex Cortright - voiceover artist/radio jock/program director of WRNR, a modern rock station broadcasting from Annapolis, Maryland.
  
  Alex was set to conduct a phone interview with the legendary Sir Paul McCartney, who was flying into Washington D.C. for a two-night stand at the MCI Center.
  ...
  Alex had worked with me for a number of years, was comfortable with my abilities and wanted ROAR's studio expertise in handling the technical end of the interview.
  
  I was immersed in several large client projects, regretfully declined, referred Alex to another local studio, but assured him I would fit the session in if he struck out elsewhere.
  ...
  However, fate intervened and Alex called me back, begged a lot and I caved.With only a few hours notice, I made the necessary hookups, tested the equipment, and waited for Alex to arrive.
  
  Alex & I talked music for an hour - then another 30 minutes past the scheduled interview time.Finally, we both agreed something must have fouled up the McCartney schedule and the interview would not happen.Just as I prepared to power down the equipment the telephone rang.Paul's road manager said hello & asked if all was ready.I pressed start on the DAW (digital audio workstation), the two DAT (digital audio tape) recorders for redundancy, and put Alex on.
