鈥淭he diverse staff at WCSB is made entirely of students, alumni and community volunteers from every demographic and background,鈥 said WCSB general manager Max Hyde-Perry.
鈥淭his translates to some of the most authentic hand-selected music that can be found anywhere. Our listenership has continued to expand all over the world and we hope to continue the tradition of nearly half a century of programming and continue providing the community one of the most eclectic and enriching independently operating radio experiences in Cleveland.
鈥淚n a world saturated with podcasts and 10-second novelty videos, we like to think that radio helps to keep the algorithms away, and that means every donation helps the bottom line and adds to our ability to share our curated programming with our incredibly diverse audience,鈥 he said.
This year鈥檚 goal of $70,000 is only a part of how WCSB has changed things up. In addition to the premiums and merchandise offered for varying donation levels, the station is also donating 2% of the total funds raised, up to $2500.00, to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance in Washington D.C. provides support for patients and families, caregivers, and survivors; to raise awareness of preventive measures; and inspire efforts to fund critical research to help in the fight to end colon cancer.
