The Cuyahoga Arts and Culture board just approved $615k of public grant money for Ideastream to continue its hostile takeover of the radio dial. We will not let those complicit in its annual operations get away with this, and we will continue to transform our frustration and sadness into hope.

Former WCSB DJs get a showcase at Happy Dog every Friday in November after station shutdown www.clevescene.com/news/former-...

Greater Cleveland, including @krisharsh.bsky.social and CLE City Council, has shown their support for WCSB and shown the communities that Cleveland State University and Ideastream have affected negatively by trading away the station for promotional ads and a personal Board of Trustees seat.

If you disagree with Laura Bloomberg and Ideastream’s actions and think WCSB should be fully restored, please go to xcsb.org for live updates and sign our petition in our bio.

Read our report on the shutdown of Cleveland State University's student-run radio station WCSB. Student leaders spoke to a packed crowd at the CBI conference @askcbi.bsky.social on Friday and are voicing their desire for FM to be returned for their use. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/wcsb...

Our next rally will be in the quad between Rhodes Tower and the Student Center for Fall Visit Day, on November 1st from 10 am to 12:30 pm. This will be to inform incoming students of how CSU treats and serves its students, professors, and communities.

I'm reminded that at one time KGOU (University of Oklahoma) was a commercial rock radio station ... until it was turned over to what was then known as the College of Continuing Education and turned into a noncommercial NPR outlet, effective 01.01.1983. It had been on the air since 1970.

Information about the “win-win” scenario crafted by Ideastream News and Cleveland State University with CSU’s president Laura Bloomberg (without student or community input) has come out thanks to Amy Morona’s reporting at Signal Cleveland. Full article: signalcleveland.org/cleveland-st...

Our next rally will be not-so-silent outside of the Cleveland City Club on Euclid Avenue from 11:30 am-1 pm on Friday, October 17th. Some of our members will be inside but their wall of window will ensure everyone will be seen and heard while Ideastream talks about the future of public media.
