In September 1997, one week after Philadelphia’s long-time commercial classical station, WFLN, was sold for $85,000,000 and changed formats, Temple University’s WRTI, an all-jazz station since 1958, acquired WFLN’s collection and added classical music to its format.
On weekdays, WRTI would air classical music from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., and jazz from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Saturday daytime hours were devoted to classical music (except for a 30-minute talk show at 6 a.m. and a 40-minute arts news show at 11 a.m.), while Sunday daytime hours were devoted to gospel or jazz until 3 p.m. Weekends also included syndicated programs such as Piano Jazz, Jazz 20 Profiles, and From the Top, as well as live broadcasts of performances by the Metropolitan Opera in season.
WRTI’s swift move not only prevented the demise of classical music radio in the nation’s sixth largest market but also benefited the station by drawing increased listeners and contributions

1. After the acquisition of WFLN’s programming, WRTI allocated more time per week to classical music than to jazz.
Not supported because no information about how much time allocated initially for jaaz and classical.
2. From 1997 through 2005, WFLN had a greater percent increase in its number of total listeners than in its number of total members
Not supported because no information about total listeners . 1805 growth is for average quarter hour listeners.
3. The average contribution per member was approximately the same for the 1997 fiscal year and the 2005 fiscal year.
300,000/400 and 120000/1300are the approximate values for 1997 and 2005 respectively. Hence supported.

2.
a. An increase in average membership contributions
in 1998 the average is nearly 900000/9000=100 and for 1999 780000/8000=97.5 .This increase decrease pattern (actually we can take it as constant if we adjust the values). So not supporting.
b.Lack of direct competition
positive because from the revenue side we can see that after acquisition revenue is keep on increasing. Hence positive impact
c. Staff hires
positive . It is given that '' the station hired a chief financial officer in 1999 and a membership director in 2001. Both members and contributions rose following these staff additions''.
