Movements vs. Whole works

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the Classical station plays individual movements of multi-movement works, like just the finale of a symphony? I would much rather listen to a whole piece than have it just start or stop in the middle (or both!), when the piece is actually several movements long.

I've heard this style referred to as "bleeding chunks radio", and that name gives you an idea of how unappealing I find it...

Point taken. Classical is arguably the most difficult genre to program for radio. Many of America's Classical FM radio stations have failed and changed to "radio friendly" formats like Top 40 or Country. Symphony Radio on iradiophilly is trying a different approach for Classical with the hope of attracting more than the Classical purist. This music is worthy of many more listeners than radio has attracted historically.
