I'm reminded that at one time KGOU (University of Oklahoma) was a commercial rock radio station ... until it was turned over to what was then known as the College of Continuing Education and turned into a noncommercial NPR outlet, effective 01.01.1983. It had been on the air since 1970.

Today was National College Radio Day

Cleveland State University celebrated by killing WCSB, its college radio station, and transferring the license to Ideastream to broadcast smooth jazz.

Cleveland State University Kills WCSB, Transfers License to Ideastream to Broadcast Smooth Jazz - Cleveland Scene

CSU president Laura Bloomberg claimed the move, which drew immediate criticism, wasn't to cut costs but to increase opportunities for students as Ideastream takes the reins of WCSB.

it’s pay what you can for a download/infinite streaming via bandcamp. not up on other streamers and maybe never will be! i think it’s worth your time and money. also, sharing and posting about it costs nothing and does a lot to help me promote so please spread the word!!!!!

i released a live record this week from when i opened for @ajjtheband.bsky.social at the grog shop - it was one of my favorite shows ever, the crowd was nuts, and i think the set and recording turned out excellent. five of these songs are currently otherwise unreleased. please share/spread the word!

Ready To LIVE: Volume One - 5/11/2025 at the Grog Shop, by the House of Wills
