Tainted transfer of CSU radio station to Ideastream should be reversed: editorial - cleveland.com To avoid further embarrassment, both Cleveland State University and Ideastream should acknowledge the irregularities and missteps, and unravel the deal until it can be transparently and openly debated -- including with full input from the loyal WCSB community, volunteer staff and others. And CSU still owes its own institution and the community detailed explanations about why such a move was even contemplated, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.

Why WCSB matters to me: Op-Ed – The Land At WCSB, I had a place within a group of melomaniacs like me. I felt seen and heard in a way I hadn't been used to, my reflection in the window of the studio glowing with an aura of fulfillment and be...

The more I dig into what is going on at #Ideastream, something appears clearly wrong. I've supported them since their inception, but their $500k/yr CEO destroyed thriving local media #WCSB and appears mostly to spend time in California, not northeast Ohio.

Cleveland City Council passed the resolution unanimously denouncing what #Ideastream and #CSU leadership did to their students, volunteers, supports, and larger community.

Remarkable watching President Kevin Martin of Ideastream unable to acknowledge what he destroyed, instead he belittles WCSB.

What went down at WCSB 89.3FM: a voice from inside Cleveland State’s axed student radio station - cleveland.com There's more than meets the eye to saga of WCSB changing operational hands from Cleveland State University to Ideastream.

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.

The only thing that could have made it worse is if #CSU President Laura Bloomberg and #Ideastream CEO Kevin Martin gleefully followed the announcement by throwing puppies & kittens from atop Fenn Tower. Neither are from Cleveland and neither seem to have use for the community or goodwill.

#Ideastream murdered college radio station #WCSB yesterday without public discussion, just press releases about "opportunities" and "not taking over" as police lead students out of the station. That's it for my future support.
