• JazzNEO now airs 24/7 on 89.3 FM after previously being available primarily on HD radio, with the station’s website taken offline Friday afternoon.
• WCSB’s general manager said administrators told her the student-run station is effectively defunct, describing an abrupt Zoom announcement and the on-air switch during her show.
• CSU and Ideastream say the partnership will create internships and for-credit roles and provide student access to Ideastream’s Idea Center at Playhouse Square.
• CSU says a small number of WCSB nationality programs will continue on a near-term basis as new platforms are explored, and coverage noted the timing coincided with College Radio Day.
