    "comment": "Mollie writes\n\nDear John,\n\nI have been a listener of college radio for most of my adult life; I live in Cleveland and we have not one, but two great college radio stations. I volunteered at one of the stations for 6 years as a community member and got to see how tight knit these groups are. \n\nI can feel myself shaking as I’m typing this. Last Friday we lost one of the good guys.  WCSB 89.3 was taken off the air as an executive cost saving move of Cleveland State University.  They were getting ready to celebrate their 50th year on the air, (and) were a student and community member run station, that gave access to new and old for anyone willing to listen. \n\nAt this point we don’t know what will happen to their library or equipment, the station was taken over by IdeaStream public media which runs our NPR programing and is currently playing smooth jazz all day every day. \n\nI know the executive staff is working with CSU to save the library and possibly get back on the air, but it all seems bleak to me.  \n\nI will miss the diversity in programming and the young kids keeping me hip to the current scene. One last thing, shout out to WRUW 91.1 Case Western Reserve University, they have sent out a call to all programmers willing at WCSB to come join them. \n\nhttps://www.kexp.org/donate/",
