You have posted several times your objection to what you seem to find to be excessive executive salaries. Why should people who are skilled in fund raising as well as administration not be paid well?
I recon a lot of the stuff WCSB plays is so obscure that there is literally no royalties. more bands that are happy their stuff is being played. Some stuff would be royalties sure but not a whole lot.
In this world today, you can't just play stuff without permission. People love to sue. Even the artists who don't have deals have to sign release forms for radio to play their music. If they play cover songs, the writers of those songs get paid. Even classical music written 500 years ago requires some payment for the versions of the compositions performed today.
I would venture that a lot of artists probably only see royalties from radio based on college and community stations, which wouldn't be much.

If they have enough money in the piggy bank to hire a lawyer!!!
Plus, this would have been the SIXTH religious station in the area. We already have WHKW (1220), WCCR (1260), WCRF (103.3 FM), WEOL Elyria (930 + their LPFM) along with Air-One on 92.7. This is not counting the various low-power religious drop-ins that are all over Northeast Ohio.

The FCC doesn't place limits on the number of religious stations. They could all become religious, and they'd still get approved.
Universities want to get out of the radio business. The religious folks know it, and are busy making offers. They missed this one.
A heritage community FM station just went religious in St. Louis.
Gateway Creative Takes Over St. Louis’ 88.1 FM.
Double Helix Corporation’s operation of former community-based station KDHX (88.1) in St. Louis has officially come to an end, as Gateway Creative Broadcasting, which purchased the FM for $8.75 million
People got very angry, held protests, filed lawsuits, and none of it mattered. The sale just went through.
Just a quick clarification: LPFM or Low Power FMs are stations operated by non-profits that do not hold another broadcast license. They can, once on the air, apply for a translaor once a window opens, purchase one if it meets FCC criteria for LPFM's translator rules. WEOL AM 930 cannot own a Low Power FM by FCC Rules.

I am not suggesting that the FCC can somehow stop the licensing of religious stations. But when EMF, the people behind AIR-1 and K-Love, are now THE NUMBER TWO OWNERS OF RADIO STATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, you can see where radio is heading.
W262DM is a low-power class D translator with a whopping 25 watt ERP that barely covers its COL of Elyria. There are LPFMs that would have better coverage than that.
Actually they now own over 1,000 stations, which is more than iHeart.
I would have been absolutely furious at my alma mater if CSU sold out WCSB to the likes of VCY, Bott or BBN. Inasmuch as people are upset here over this arrangement, I guarantee you it would have been incredibly worse.
Not true. Many commercial AM stations have low power FM repeaters. Locally, WHKW, WHK and WTAM in Cleveland, WOBL Oberlin, WDLW Lorain, and WINT Willoughby not to mention a bunch of stations further out of town.
CSU to sell president’s Cleveland Heights home amid $150 million budget cuts
President Bloomberg and her husband have purchased their own residence in the Cleveland area while trustees will negotiate a housing allowance.
Keep in mind CSU recently sold the mansion they house the university’s president in for $1 million. This is estimated to save the university over $140,000 annually. So the radio station isn’t the only thing being cut.
As funding cuts and declining enrollments lead to serious deficits for many universities, I wouldn’t be surprised if many more college stations are placed on the chopping block.
It wouldn't surprise me if they sell the building WCSB's studios were held in. It's right on Chester Ave. at the I-90 interchange and disconnected from the campus at large.CSU to sell president’s Cleveland Heights home amid $150 million budget cuts

I agree. I was reading they're also looking at options for the Wolstein Center that include demolition.
Thank God we have WRUW. At least the 15,000 watt station was saved. Now, more than ever, this station needs our support. We also have WBWC but they are only heard on the West Side and have a rock format, not a freewheeling station like WCSB was. There is also WJCU, but they are hardly adventurous for the most part.CSU to sell president’s Cleveland Heights home amid $150 million budget cuts
