This, ripped from Cleveland's FOX 8 News.  https://fox8.com/news/cleveland-state-universitys-student-run-radio-station-wcsb-is-no-more/   Then this article,    https://thelandcle.org/stories/ideastream-takes-over-programming-at-wcsb-formerly-cleveland-state-universitys-student-run-radio-station/      Sure enough, you go to to the station's web site and station's stream, and they're mal-en-void.   https://radio-locator.com/info/WCSB-FM?loc=41.48230%2C-81.66972&locn=Cleveland%2C%20Ohio    Hmmmmmm... I don't want to jump to conclusions here, but this is a subject that was talked about in the latest Radio Survivor podcast & radio syndicated program #345,    https://www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/09/podcast-345-catching-up-with-community-radio-at-the-grassroots-radio-conference-and-ncrc/  Again, I am not going to jump to conclusions here, but if there is any once of truth to this radical format & direction change has happened, due to a 'free speech issue', then it needs to be talked about, and even called-out.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
