WCSB Takes Cleveland State University to Court

#cleveland #ideastream #wcsb Took a couple weeks, but the shadiness of a publicly funded non-profit destroying a public university's volunteer station under cover of secrecy has regional attention https://www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025/11/tainted-transfer-of-csu-radio-station-to-ideastream-should-be-reversed-editorial.html

As a supporter of #Ideastream since it's inception it pains me, but following the truly horrible thing they did to #WCSB and how they did it, the only action that will change their leadership is a boycott.

@FallsMom It doesn't make much sense beyond the corporate logic that dictates constant expansion. Their leadership is in a bubble and doesn't recognize anything beyond Ideastream, which they have unnecessarily harmed by burning the goodwill of all the #WCSB listeners and students/alum (who mostly remain in #Cleveland) and also (have until now) support(ed) #Ideastream. The blinders of corporate leadership groupthink.

#Cleveland State University and NPR conglomerate #Ideastream murdered local college radio #WCSB yesterday without any public discussion and mealy mouthed press releases about opportunities and "not taking over" despite students being lead out by police.

As if there wasn't enough to be infuriated about.

My new years resolution is to have a LibreTime automation instance running the Area893.com stream by the end of 2022.

This would allow us side-channel labratory collaborators @ChristmasCarol , @nomoneymark , Steve Z, maybe even @PeckoBoB to switch the stream from archive shuffle mode to Live mode without stopping the stream, regularly schedule archives and other programs.

Next level Area893.com by end of 2022! That's my resolution.
