Telethon 2023
2023-04-10 - 2023-04-16 | WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland, 11220 Bellflower Rd, Cleveland, OH, 44106, United States
It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at WRUW—Telethon!
This year, we’re hoping to keep up our amazing high donation streak, with a goal of $91,100 in total donations. (Get it? 91.1 thousand?) These funds will allow us to keep growing as a station (both in terms of music owned and air quality). We’re also hoping to raise enough to finally get our 30-year-old transmitter that was built with a 15-year lifespan replaced—while we won’t be upgrading our wattage, our potential future existence will get a lot longer! Another way to make an investment in securing WRUW as part of the Cleveland airscape for years to come is to give part or all of your donation to the endowment. We need $25,000 in this endowment before it will be officially be put away by the University, offering us a bit of a safety net in case of any future financial catastrophe and showing the administration just how much we all value this station.
Of course, to reach that goal, we’ll need lots of support from our listeners (that’s you!). And as usual, there are plenty of old and new premiums available as a thanks for giving. You can check those premiums out at the very same place you can donate: telethon.wruw.org. If you prefer to keep it a little less digital, you can also call in at 216.368.2208 all week long, and you can get a premium that way too. That said, we’d really appreciate if you could try to donate online—it’ll be simpler for everyone. You don’t have to read out your credit card numbers over the phone or send a check in the mail, and you entering your own address makes it a lot less likely that we’ll accidentally mix up our abbreviations and accidentally send your premium to Minnesota instead of Maine. Unfortunately, any money given into the endowment fund will not be eligible for a premium (but we encourage you to think of your expanding of the lifespan of WRUW as a premium in itself).
Thank you so much for your support—it really means the world to us!!!

It’s that time of year again!
WRUW will be holding its one-week on-air fundraiser (telethon) Monday March 21 to Sunday March 27.
We hope to raise $91,100 this year to help improve our signal. Our transmitter is 20 years old and needs to be replaced, a five-figure bill.

We have a new donation option this year, an endowment. Funds here are administered through the University and are set to keep us going far into the future.

We are encouraging all to donate online at telethon.wruw.org/ (the page is open for donations now). Daytime shows will also accept donations at 216-368-2208.

Our telethon home page has a list (with pictures!) of the thank-you premiums we are offering this year.

WRUW-FM presents The Blue Stones w/ JJ Wilde and The Dead Licks
2020-02-22 19:00 - 23:30 (America/New_York) | Grog Shop, 2785 Euclid Heights Boulevard, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States
Come celebrate WRUW’s 53rd birthday at the Grog Shop and B-Side Lounge! Starting at 7:00, there will be a free pre-party at the B-Side featuring free pizza, drink specials, and more. Then at 8:30, come join us in the Grog Shop for The Blue Stones with JJ Wilde and The Dead Licks.

Not having a third member to fill another rhythm role, the Windsor, Ontario based duo developed an original characteristic to the sounds of the bands that influenced them, such as Kings of Leon, My Morning Jacket, MUTEMATH and The Black Keys. “We never had a bass player in our early jams, so we subconsciously compensated for one in the music,” says guitarist/vocalist Tarek Jafar.
Apparently it’s worked, the group has reached top-level sales on the popular Bandcamp.com as well as garnering over one million spins on Spotify. The duo’s music has also been featured numerous times on major network television shows such as Suits, Parks and Rec and Monday Night Football .
More importantly, crowds across Canada and hometown-neighbouring Detroit, MI have been stunned by the energy and force behind their loud, dominant live performances—especially for just two dapper guys. The Blue Stones create a killer hi/lo effect; contrasting their slick and put together look with their rough and rollicking live show. Heart, soul and sweat characterize every Blue Stones spectacle – you can’t help but be pulled in from the moment the first note is played.
The two are elated to have played with premiere acts and in national festivals; however, they’d like to achieve an even greater reach to bigger audiences around all of North America and the world. “We love this too much to keep it hid in southwestern Ontario.”

Taken from their website:
Roger S. Weist – 2017 Grand Marshal

Roger was born in Cleveland, Ohio on August 13, 1952, to Robert L. and Angela Stanton Weist. His father died when Roger was 4 years old. A few years later, his Mother married widower Jim Kerrigan. Jim and Angela then raised Roger along with his now 17 brothers and sisters. Roger is retired from Cleveland Municipal Court, where he served as Personal Bailiff for Judge Kathleen Ann Keaough. Currently serves as Music Director at WRUW radio, and, for the last 17 years, host of Beyond the Pale Radio on Sunday afternoon.
Roger has been an active and highly visible member of Cleveland’s Irish community for over 38 years. What began as a love of Irish music, song and story developed into an activism for the promotion of the ideals of Hibernianism, and for the promotion of peace, justice, and unification of the island of Ireland. A member of the Boland/Berry Division 2, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, he has served in most offices, including Division President as well as serving the Ohio State Board including a term as State Board President. Recently Roger has been selected President of newly formed Cuyahoga County Board, Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Long a tireless campaigner for Irish Human and Civil Rights, he has been included in discussions with senior members of President Clinton’s Staff, and the National Security Council. Roger led an active group of lobbyists working for legislative initiatives to support implementation of the MacBride Principles of Fair Employment for Northern Ireland. Roger was Co-founder of Ohio MacBride Principles Coalition. He was also instrumental in the introduction and passage of the Unite Ireland Resolution passed by the Cleveland City Council, one of the first cities in America to pass this effort.
Over the years Roger has held an active membership in, and participated with many organizations, Included are: Ancient Order of Hibernians; Cleveland’s Great Hunger Memorial Committee; Cleveland Heritage Foundation; Gaelic Athletic Association; Greater Cleveland Feis Society; Greater Cleveland Emerald Civic Society; West Side Irish American Club; Irish American Club – East Side; Irish Northern Aid Committee; the Ohio Irish Congress, the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival, and has spoken to countless civic and professional organizations about Irish issues and history. And in 2016 was asked to co-host, along with Tom Mulloy, the broadcast of the Cleveland St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Cleveland’s cable TV channel 20.
Roger’s contributions to the promotion of our Irish culture, history, and traditions have been recognized by the community. In 1989 he was selected to be Co-Chairman of the Cleveland St. Patrick’s Day Parade; 1990 voted Cleveland’s Irish Person of the year; 2000 Hibernian of the Year; 2001 recipient Irish American Partnership Citizenship Award; 2015 awarded Commodore John Barry Award by the AOH Ohio State Board, and has also been awarded Life Membership in the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Roger has diligently served the Ancient Order of Hibernians Boland/Berry Division 2, Cuyahoga County, Ohio in almost all of the elected and appointed offices. He served as Marshal, Standing Committee, Division Organizer; Recording Secretary; Financial Secretary; Vice President; and President. He has also served as the AOH delegate to the United Irish Societies of Greater Cleveland (St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee) for many years.
In August, 2016, Roger was elected President of the newly formed Cuyahoga County Board to help guide the two AOH Divisions in Cuyahoga County. He has also served as the AOH Ohio State President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Organizer, Chairman of Political Education; Chairman of Freedom for All Ireland Committee, and a variety of positions at the leisure of the sitting President.
Today, Roger continues his activism and promotion of all things Irish as Host/Programmer of Beyond the Pale Radio on WRUW FM 91.1, Cleveland. He truly is an example of one who lives the motto of the AOH, believing and living in “Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity”.

WRUW's 50th Birthday!
2017-02-26 | WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland, 11220 Bellflower Rd, Cleveland, OH, 44106, United States
In 1946, WFSM was founded by the Flora Stone Mather Radio Club, “broadcasting” via a public address system. Since that time, it evolved into an AM carrier-current station (WRAR, starting in 1955) and then (on February 26th, 1967) to the FM broadcast station it is now. WRUW 91.1 FM began as a ten watt mono station serving the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland. WRUW gained stereo capability in 1974 and, in 1980, raised its power to 1,000 watts. The evolution of WRUW was competed when, on March 5th 2002, WRUW increased its power to 15,000 watts. WRUW now serves a large portion of the Northeast/Northern Ohio region, from the Ohio/Pennsylvania border (to the east) to Toledo and parts of Michigan (to the west) and portions of Canada (to the north).
On Sunday, February 26th WRUW will be celebrating our 50th anniversary! For our 50th birthday we have several days of special programming planned, including #throwback episodes of The Cream of Broccoli Radio Hour and Sunday Matinee on February 26th, 2017 focusing on music from the year the station went FM! Radio Child will be featuring a song for each year WRUW has been on the air! We are currently planning to present “WRUW Listens Back” with the help of alumni on-air programmers. It will be 24 hours of archived programming broken into one hour slices, featuring past on air personalities as John E. Midnight, Joe Riznar, Cuzin’ Dave Newman, Anne Weatherhead, and Catherine Butler among many more. Please contact our alumni director James Szabo at wruwis50@wruw.org if you are a past WRUW staff member who would like to contribute.
