Visiting the station was a dream come true. One thing I've talked about doing for a while…read more I love how this is a student-led and-run radio station. I enjoyed seeing the layout of the spaces and the friendliness of each staff member, and I truly enjoyed the Latin music playing as we met. I was especially impressed with how volunteers and donations run this whole station!!! I highly suggest learning about your local college radio station. It's a genuinely enlightening and memorable experience.

"I've got a pretty intense game of Chinese checkers going with a guy who claims to be the shift…read moremanager at a Church's chicken in Parma, so I'm just going to let the show run itself." That's a quote from a WCSB DJ during a midday shift. WCSB is somewhat like a guide to me when I make my annual visits to Cleveland each summer. It's something that my radio dial never wavers from in the car, except, maybe, when the high school kids take over and play Adam Levine, or the Indian trance music just becomes too much. But most of the time, the music on WCSB is a beautiful, eclectic but unknown mix of older and contemporary music, flanked by awkward PSAs and often college-aged DJ banter. More often than not, they're playing a gritty variety of obscure 60's/70's music, punk or garage rock that could not suit my drives through the city better. Anything from The Cramps to the original Spanish version of "Be My Baby." Something to compliment the rows of idle brick factories, abandoned apartment complexes, potholed streets, and forlorn, shirtless old men wandering the streets. I cherish these drives through Cleveland's gritty neighborhoods, and being able to stream this station while elsewhere only helps to remind me of what I really like about the city and why I continue to come back.

They used to be the only station playing the newest songs. I know they can't go back, but at least say the name of the song that is new. I like to keep up with songs that kids like. (I'm a teacher and have 7 grandchildren). Jenny and Kelly are the best !

We liked America's Next Top Model until that became unwatchable(the first minute you say?). I have a high tolerance for pain. The main reason i like this station is for broadcasting the Ghoul for most of the late 90's to early 2000's. The show that single-handedly made me want to live here my whole life and be a weirdo. It is the only local late night show that mattered. More hip than Big Chump and Little Toilet. Usually on anywhere from Friday night at midnight to Sunday morning at 3(they kept changing the time so they could show more infomercials). This was during prime partying hours. Full of Cleveland lore like Dorothy, Ghoulardi, Baskerville Hounds tunes and featuring the acting talents of Uncle Scratch drummer, Brother Ed. Monster movies of the lowest caliber accentuated with sound effects, and segments where the Ghoul blew up pumpkins, turkeys and his nemesis, Froggy. Norton furniture ads first ran during this show. They are now a local legend themselves. I miss this show so very very badly. MST3K is a close second, but doesn't have that local flavor. This place would get a five if t was still on the air. Also home to the toupeed Reverend Ernest Angley. Please bring back the Ghoul.

WRUW FM 91.1 Cleveland embodies the spirit of college radio. The station always has an incredibly…read morediverse lineup, from your typical college student indie-rock shows to public affairs shows to (supposedly) the longest running jazz show in the country (Down By The Cuyahoga on Friday nights). The station is operated out of Case Western Reserve University, so the DJs are split between community members and CWRU students. Not every show will be your favorite genera or expertly produced, but the vast diversity of shows pretty much guarantees you'll be able to find a few shows you love. The DJs here are all volunteers, so each show is on the air because the DJ really wants to be doing it. For listeners, this means the DJs have immense knowledge of and passion for their genre. WRUW may lack some of the polish of a commercial radio station, but the incredible diversity of programming and unbridled passion of the DJs at this radio station more than makes up for that at this Cleveland gem. Full disclosure: I've been a student DJ here for the last 4 years.

What's so wrong with re-visiting the stuff that was on before, that's already paid for, that is of a higher quality? Wait. This is what I should be saying: Instead of raising all that coin to pay for the Chin From Minneapolis and all this other provincial crap produced by REAL PBS station, spend it right HERE. Do some local programming. I don't mean another lame talking-head deal where you get some suits into the empty studio on Sunday morning and grill them about Cleveland's future. Local music.
