How does a guy go from New York and San Francisco to Alliance and Canton? It reminds me of the 1960's host of the syndicatged "What's My Line?", Wally Bruner. Bruner's career downslide was summarized as follows: One year, you're President of the Washington news division for ABC. The next year, you're the beat reporter for the local news. The next year, you're hosting What's My Line?.

I've heard that Fred moved to the area to look after his parents, who lived in Alliance at the time.

The Cincinnati boards include discussion of Dayton/Springfield radio, so Canton here makes sense to me. Isn't Canton in the Cleveland TV market as well? Anyway, I remember visiting my grandparents in Mayfield as a kid (I'm originally from Cincinnati), finding the Plain Dealer's TV Week and looking at the radio station listings, where several Canton stations were usually listed.
Akron/Canton stuff has traditionally gone on this board.
Most of the major stations south of the Turnpike can be heard through most of the Cleveland market, and as mentioned, it is the same TV market - including Canton, as the official Nielsen market name is "Cleveland/Akron (Canton)".
It just makes sense, and heck, even Youngstown stuff occasionally shows up here.
To me, the "Ohio" board is stuff outside the NE Ohio, Central Ohio or Southwest Ohio areas.

RI should rename this board "Cleveland/Northeast Ohio" to avoid confusion. I'd also like to see Cincinnati renamed "Cincinnati/Dayton".

Not really necessary. Most in Northeast Ohio know to go here, and most in Southwest Ohio know to go to the Cincy board.
Why make a big deal if Canton should be included? Seems like just a way to be snarky.
Fred deserves some ink. 12 years at the same station, a few more in Canton before that. Able to retire and not worry about money?
My hat is off.

Canton stuff has always gone on this board, dating back to the old Buckeye Radio Board (remember that?) before there was even a Cleveland R-I board.
The media markets are too close to each other for Canton to go elsewhere.
And my hat is off to Fred as well.

It's simple. Get over yourselves, Clevelanders.
