Transferring wcsb FM signal back to the student organization
For nearly all of the 23 years that the Ohio City bicycle co-op has been around, WCSB has been a staple over our airwaves in our shop, helping us to create a multicultural community of Necessity Cyclists and volunteers who seek to support them. No matter what the intended outcome was of this arrangement, it is undisputed that it was unsavory and left out vital members of the community and the student organization who should have been involved from the beginning. We the people want WCSB returned to the community and the students who have cherished it for nearly 50 years.

CSU and Ideastream bulldozing WCSB in the absence of democracy
“Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people- they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.” Paulo Freire in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, pub 1968

As a CSU alumni and someone previously interviewed on Ideastream, I am currently ashamed to have affiliation with these two entities. I know people involved in both are aware of the ramifications of silencing artists, steamrolling the commons, and refusing dialogue with the people impacted by public choices, and so I wonder how they could stand for this. There is a great space, in this moment, to align with community and compassion by championing accountability, admitting a misstep, and moving forward together with WSCB returned to the volunteers and staff. Any alternative is merely a reiteration of profits/power over people, and will disgrace the legacies of both CSU and Ideastream.

Resolution 1324-2025
I am urging council to support the Resolution 1324-2025 to empower the CSU and larger Cleveland community to continue the operations of community building and free speech through WCSB. This organization was largely self-supported and provided a community to our city's artists, students, and community members. The hasty revocation of the organization's usage of the 89.3FM frequency and their online presence has created a large hole in the fabric of our city.

WCSB
WCSB changed my life, WCSB is an integral part of the northeast Ohio community and beyond. The volunteers worked hard every week curating shows for the listening public out of the love they have for this in their hearts. WCSB was the center of the Cleveland creative community. It was a home and place of belonging for the outliers and misfits. WCSB's wide range of programming appealed to communities of all classes and various backgrounds. WCSB helped keep the Cleveland Slovenian diaspora, the largest Slovenian population outside of Slovenia itself, connected and up to date on community events. There was something for everyone. Now there is only something for the rich elites. WCSB donors paid for the equipment to run the station that CSU is holding hostage, this included a new antenna installed in April 2021 that was also paid in part for with a grant from the College Radio Foundation, and now this antenna is being used by Ideastream rather than the purpose the donors donated for. This is a raw deal for Cleveland.

The WCSB Resolution
As a donor and supporter of 89.3 WCSB and a CSU student, I think what Ideastream and CSU did to the radio station was incredibly tone deaf and detrimental to the community. Kevin Martin stated on Friday the he wasn't aware the radio station was anything more than a "club" what they decided to terminate it. Laura Bloomberg showed little respect for the people who have been building this organization for ALMOST 50 years. It is clear that Bloomberg sold out the community's voice for a seat on the Ideastream Board of trustees. And then, to offer to let Ideastream purchase the radio euqiptment that was fundraised for and purchased by the students is nothing less than a slap in the face and a middle finger to all of the student's hard work. Bloomberg show absolutely no regard or respect for the students and community in this deal and that is exactly how much respect we have for her deal with Ideastream.
I am fully in support of this resolution. CSU and Ideastream have badly hurt their reputations among the community and have surely been feeling the backlash of their decision. Return radio to the students and let them be

Shutdown of WCSB
As a daily listener for over 30 years I am appalled at the decision to shut down the radio station without notice. As a former student I will NEVER support Cleveland State University again unless this decision is repealed. Please take another look at ways the station can be brought back. This was a terrible decision on your part. It is not good for the community or for college radio in general. Extremely upset.

Up yours sincerely,
Jason Gokorsch

Bring back WSCB, you took community and 50 years of gave it away over night. And for what? Give it back.

I am a 2-time alumni of Cleveland State and a longtime supporter of Ideastream. I am disgusted by the way the radio deal was handled. Please sign the resolution that prompts all responsible parties to return the station fully to the students!

89.3
I moved here from Detroit and my partner moved here from Las Vegas. This radio station has been one of my favorite things about Cleveland. Mind blowing music. News without any bias. Huge part of why I live this city. Absolutely a shame to see it go.

A resolution on the reinstatement of WCSB radio station to the airwaves
I think it’s a complete travesty that the stripping of a well-established, highly-revered community centered station has taken place from the students and DJs of WSCSB in favor of the whim of some wealthy donors and over-paid executives. Ideastream and Cleveland State have effectively silenced a 50 year old institution that upheld the very roots of Cleveland, its rich and diverse history of many cultural backgrounds and age groups. Laura Bloomberg and Kevin Martin should embarrassed of themselves and the criminal way they treated the students when ejecting them from the station with a police escort. What kind of example does that set for individuals who run establishments that should be prioritizing positive community engagement? They’ve proven themselves to be concerned with the opposite, their own salaries and careers. The city wants its station back and apology needs to issued.
