As for music, this is what a classic rock station should be. Excellent mix from the 60s through the 80s, no nu-metal, no emo, just classic rock through butt rock/glam metal. PERFECT. This made my most recent trip to the Motherland bearable.

It's a genuinely enlightening and memorable experience.

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.

Do they only have 10 cds that were bequeathed to them in some dead dude's will, say 15 years ago?

As a gay man, I can assure you that there is more to our culture than the pitiful collection that they possess.

Canada's Cool FM! I can't exactly figure out the algorithm here and don't know how much, if…read moreanything, that has to do with me being an American. If only the hicks from Letterkenny could break it down for me. It's kinda classic rock, a little poppy hair metal, more basic pop with a heavy emphasis on the 80s but with small forays into the 70s and 90s as well. Canadian content laws insure that a certain percentage of tunes Cool FM plays originate from artists born and bred in the Great White North, eh. I think it's this more than anything that makes 95.1 a bizarro 80s oldies/ classic rock station I can't quite put my finger on. Now if Southeast Michigan stations had a Canadian content clause to grapple with you'd have stations like WCSX and WOMC just playing a metric shit ton of Rush and calling it a day. WCSX -and WLLZ and WRIF when I was coming up among other stations- have always played extremely generous portions of Rush as it is. I've heard Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, Closer to the Heart and others more times on antenna radio more times than I can count. But surprisingly 95.1 is very sparse on cuts from Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart and Geddy Lee. I believe the only Rush song I've heard on there is New World Man, a relatively deep cut that never gets airplay on this side of Lake St. Clair. Cool FM keeps me reaching for the Shazam on my phone as I'm driving, really something for a station as commercial as this. Comparable US stations I already know everything on, but as I said this is bizarro radio. It's put me up on The Honeymoon Suite, a band somewhere between new wave and pop metal and Platinum Blonde, who I'm playing on Spotify as I type this out. They've played The Northern Pikes, an alternative pop band a friend introduced me to back in the 90s. And they play rock acts I really only know from them getting referenced on Trailer Park Boys like April Wine and Kim Mitchell. Chilliwack? Never heard of em before Cool FM. Huge points for Cool FM playing I'm an Adult Now by The Pursuit of Happiness, a fantastic song I hadn't heard on the radio in a dog's age. That one took me back to being a teenager listening to 89X out of Windsor when alternative radio seemed downright revolutionary. And those same Canadian content laws kept songs like I'm an Adult Now in heavy rotation. I wish 95.1 would play some Dream Warriors too, to take me back to that era more but I've never heard any hip hop on this station. All this is sandwiched between songs usually from Americans or Brits that I've heard many many times before. Sometimes it's stuff I dig - She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals and sometimes it has me reaching for the preset button- bye, bye bad Aerosmith song. And Cherry Pie by Warrant can stay back in the 80s. I'm glad radio stateside has largely forgotten that one. So far though, and I hope I'm not jinxing myself here, Cool FM has been 100% Bon Jovi free. WCSX should take note. Now I get nothing but static at 95.1 where I live in Detroit. It's only after I've crossed 8 Mile and gone aways into my ancestral stomping grounds in Macomb County that it starts to come in. Recently I made a couple trips up into St. Clair County with one going even further up into the Thumb where I passed out of the range of this Chatham-Kent station on the northern end where I listened to a bunch of Cool FM. I only really discovered this station fairly recently and it's still a novelty to me but I'm sure I'd start to get sick of it after awhile. That, combined with some clunkers that have me combing the dial for something better keeps this station from notching more than a 3 in my book but it is still something of a new and interesting puzzle I'm trying to figure out. Maybe one day I'll get a passport and go do some research over in Ontario. Maybe I'll make a Canada's Cool FM playlist on Spotify where it's only the songs I like.

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.
