WKSU

WKSU – branded 89.7 WKSU – is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to Kent, Ohio and serving Northeast Ohio. WKSU's primary signal encompasses both Greater Cleveland and the Akron metro area, with its reach further extended into the Canton and Mansfield metros, in addition to Ashtabula, Sandusky, New Philadelphia and Wooster, via a network of low-power translators and full-power repeaters.

Founded and currently owned by Kent State University, the station had its origins as a radio training workshop on the university's campus that provided programming for commercial radio stations, and save for a brief hiatus due to World War II, continued into WKSU's 1950 establishment as one of the first educational FM stations in the United States. An NPR affiliate since 1973, WKSU evolved from a university-operated station into a public radio and classical music outlet.
