Under Ordunio's direction, "Global Village" ascended to greater heights and created more unusual sounds and experiments of music, such as the night a slow movement from a Mahler symphony and a Bruckner symphony were heard simultaneously.
Ordunio (playfully referred to as "Uncle Douggo" by Lynne Warfel during her 1982-86 stint as late morning/early afternoon KFAC host) was responsible for creating other provocative classical music programs, such as "At Home With" which featured interviews recorded at the homes of classical musical celebrities who lived in Southern California.
