Art galleries and museums have closed. Symphonies, theatre and dance troupes have canceled Spring and Summer performances. Gala fundraisers have been canceled, left and right.</p> <p>Giving Tuesday Now (from the brainchild of the online day of Giving during the Holiday Season) joined forces on May 5, 2020 for individuals to donate to non-profits, including WCRS. WCRS is an all-volunteer operated station run entirely by volunteers, who while social distancing, are running the station away from the Free Press Carriage House. Community Radio costs money. From licensing fees to maintenance on our antennas, it is not cheap to bring you community radio from the grassroots.</p> <p>For more information on donating to WCRS, go to <a href="http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate" title="http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate">http://www.wcrsfm.org/donate</a>.

What does that mean necessarily? Does it mean that your favorite locally produced show will be going on an extended hiatus? Not quite. The decision to go on hiatus is solely on the producers of a respective show. </p> <p>WCRS-FM is not the only radio station located at the Free Press Carriage House. WGRN 94.1 FM also records shows in the studio as well. Some shows are not produced in the studios at all, but in people’s homes (or studios), while some other shows that have been recorded at the Free Press Carriage House, including The DJBC Happy Hour, have moved to being recorded at home, and a few other shows will be on hiatus.</p> <p>The Columbus Free Press Newspaper is also produced in the Free Press Carriage House. However, the Free Press did not print an April Issue, and will not be printing one in May either.</p> <p>During this Coronavirus Pandemic, there has been a lot of good in the community during all of the chaos of people being laid off, companies being forced to close, and everyone being required to Stay at Home. </p> <p>Ohio has taken an aggressive approach to the Pandemic, with people helping out others in need. There are the medical personnel, first responders, grocery store team members, bus drivers, and other essential workers who are risking their lives on a daily basis to do their jobs. Thank you.</p> <p>Through all that, WCRS FM is still on the air, and is not going anywhere. Our show producers are just doing their shows from home, to weather this storm.<br /> We are all in this together.</p> <p>#InThisTogetherOhio<br /> #HunkerDownAndStayHome</p> http://wcrsfm.org/content/our-studios-may-be-closed-we-are-still-air#comments coronavirus covid 19 hdash Station News Thu, 09 Apr 2020 22:40:55 +0000 djbc 12777 at http://wcrsfm.org Equity, Prosperity Among Highlights In Ginther's State of The City http://wcrsfm.org/content/equity-prosperity-among-highlights-ginthers-state-city <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-file"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="filefield-file"><img class="filefield-icon field-icon-image-jpeg" alt="image/jpeg icon" src="http://wcrsfm.org/sites/all/modules/filefield/icons/image-x-generic.png" /><a href="http://wcrsfm.org/files/SAM_7972.JPG" type="image/jpeg; length=288505">SAM_7972.JPG</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Equity and Prosperity were the highlights of Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther’s State of the City Address on Thursday night at historic West High School in the Westgate neighborhood in the Hilltop, which was prominently featured in Ginther’s address.</p> <p>The theme of Ginther’s Address was about equity. As soon as Ginther said, “Equity is the corner stone of my administration,” a protester disrupted the speech by demanding action. Ginther said, “I see you and I hear you, and I look forward to meeting with you, to hear your voices” to quell the protests from further disrupting Ginther’s address in a packed school auditorium.</p> <p>After the protesters were escorted out of the Auditorium by Columbus Police Officers, Ginther continued his speech by saying, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”.</p> <p>In his speech, Ginther talked about equality, from combatting the housing crisis and the opioid crisis, to combatting the racial barriers in our community, such as improving the city’s toxic police/community relations. “It’s time for us to discuss the long-term effects going forward, and to explore Racism as a public health crisis,” Ginther said about the racial inequality in Columbus.</p> <p>Neighborhoods have been the core of the Ginther Administration from the beginning. Ginther announced big plans for Linden, that are part of the One Linden Plan. Construction is in progress for a new Fire Station 16 on Oakland Park Avenue in North Linden. Homeport will be working on a “Downtown Linden” project at the corner of Cleveland and Myrtle Avenues. $ 20 Million will be invested in an overhaul of the Hudson Street Thoroughfare as part of the One Linden Plan.</p> <p><a href="http://wcrsfm.org/content/equity-prosperity-among-highlights-ginthers-state-city" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://wcrsfm.org/content/equity-prosperity-among-highlights-ginthers-state-city#comments andrew ginther hilltop linden state of the cbus Station News the djbc happy hour Fri, 14 Feb 2020 04:54:38 +0000 djbc 12681 at http://wcrsfm.org Donate to WCRS FM on Giving Tuesday http://wcrsfm.org/content/donate-wcrs-fm-giving-tuesday <p>Giving Tuesday.

It felt more like a celebration of the achievements and accomplishments of an administration, and the work that needs to continue to keep Columbus shining in the spotlight long after Mayor Coleman’s run as Mayor wraps up at the end of this year.</p> <p>“I think we’re in a renaissance,” Mayor Michael B. Coleman (Democrat) said in the interview-style State of the City Celebration at the Palace Theatre on Thursday in Downtown Columbus. Coleman cited the creation of 40,000 new jobs to the city, and the $ 7 Billion invested into the city.</p> <p>The program, which started 26 minutes late, began with a moment of silence in remembrance of former Columbus Mayor Dana G. “Buck” Rinehart (Republican), who died on Wednesday, just days shy of his 69th birthday. Rinehart was Mayor of Columbus from 1984 to 1991, and like Coleman, helped develop the city’s growth with City Center Mall, the Short North Arts District, and a development that would later be Easton.</p> <p>Following the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance, The Harmony Project singing the Phil Collins song “Take Me Home”, with a video playing on the screens overhead of neighborhoods throughout the city, to set the tone for what was ahead during the program.</p> <p>Columbus is the hometown that has gone from “Cow Town” to competing with the likes of Philadelphia and Brooklyn for the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Columbus is the top city for Young Professionals.</p> <p>Columbus was the top-ranked “Opportunity City” in Forbes Magazine. Columbus was ranked the top city for African-Americans in Ebony Magazine. Columbus received a score of 100 in the Human Rights Campaign Index. Columbus, in the 15 years that Coleman has been Mayor, has grown and made strides.</p> <p><a href="http://wcrsfm.org/content/state-city-celebrates-legacy-columbus%E2%80%99s-longest-running-mayor" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://wcrsfm.org/content/state-city-celebrates-legacy-columbus%E2%80%99s-longest-running-mayor#comments city of columbus mayor mike coleman michael b coleman state of the city Fri, 20 Feb 2015 17:42:10 +0000 djbc 8071 at http://wcrsfm.org
