  • WCPN (104.9 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to Lorain, Ohio, featuring a public radio format as a repeater of Kent–licensed WKSU. Owned by Ideastream Public Media, the station serves the western portion of Greater Cleveland and parts of surrounding Northeast Ohio. By virtue of WKSU, studios are located at Playhouse Square in Downtown Cleveland, while WCPN's transmitter resides in the Cleveland suburb of Avon. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WCPN broadcasts over four HD Radio channels and streams online. Signing on in 1975 under the WZLE call sign, the station originally focused on Lorain County with a full-service format of local news and easy listening music dubbed "mellow gold". A 1983 sale of WZLE to a local non-profit Christian group saw the station switch to Christian radio programming, eventually focusing on contemporary Christian music by the early 1990s. Jacor's purchase of WZLE in 1998 resulted in a format change to contemporary hit radio as the first home of WAKS the following year. A complex seven-station asset swap involving Jacor's successor company Clear Channel, Salem Communications and WCLV (95.5 FM) owner Radio Seaway on July 3, 2001, resulted in 104.9 FM becoming the second home of WCLV and its classical music format. Converted to non-commercial status and donated to Ideastream in 2013, WCLV's programming and call letters moved to 90.3 FM on March 28, 2022; in turn, this station became a full-power satellite of co-managed WKSU, bearing the WCPN calls.

  • When the Browns left town (in 1996), so what? But if WCLV had left, that would have been a great blow to me. (en)
  • When we would meet people in public, it was like we had spent the morning together in the same room talking the whole morning. As I talk with listeners since we went off the air, I sense a deep void. This was something people identified with. It brought something positive, hope-filled and faith-filled into their lives. (en)
  • We could have sold for millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars... we feel that the radio station is very important to the community. It contributes to the quality of life. It's a major conduit for the arts organizations to their constituencies. (en)
