interested in exploring classical

WGBH 89.7 (Boston) on the internet as HD-1 plays classical music from 9 am to 4 pm EST. The announcers are first rate They also broadcast the Boston Symphany live. The schedule is on their web site. Their HD-2 channel is classical 24/7 with different programing and announcers.
I have a small SANYO internet radio that I bought from C.Crane that is in the kitchen for background music. It's easy to use and sounds OK, but you must have WiFi.

Check out a good historical overview of various genres. Even the word 'classical' is specific. Start with so-called 'early music' and move forward. Then there is the issue of the 'classical' music of non-western cultures.

Start out in the baroque period, Vivaldi, Handel, Bach, etc., go to the classical period, then to the romantic and modern periods and find what you like first, then you will grow into the rest on some level. This is the beginning of a great adventure for you. I grew up around zero classical music, just pop/rock/country. Now it is almost all classical/jazz, and nearly no country or pop.....just can't let go of that rock though. jallen
