Dan was born to a military family in 1958, and again in 1959. As a toddler, he completely trashed the base looking for "Star Trek" toys (he could not accept the fact that the popular sci-fi show would not be created for another 7 years). The air force immediately moved to a new base. Area 51. Leaving Dan behind in the desert. Undaunted, he followed his family from base to base for the next 18 years. He maintained an illusion of normality until his babysitter (Chuck Yeager's daughter) began putting him to bed by reading "Night Gallery" horror stories. Dan's mind was permanently warped, so a career in radio was the only possible professional path. Having conquered stations from Atlantic city to Columbus, he is now recruiting minions for an eventual world take over. NPR Digital Services RSS Generator 0.94 Dan Mushalko Wed, 21 Mar 2018 04:00:01 +0000 Dan Mushalko http://wcbe.org Dan Mushalko By now, you’ve probably heard about the proposed 2018 Federal budget – and its elimination of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It’s been all over the news today. This note isn’t meant to be political. My purpose isn’t to criticize or cajole…to kindle contempt or commendation. It’s purely to inform. The zeroing-out of CPB appears on page 11 of the budget (officially: America First – A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again by the Office of Management and Budget ).* For the past six years, CPB’s funding has been relatively flat, hovering between $421 - $445 million. $15.6 million of that (roughly 3.5%) was split amongst public radio stations, including WCBE. Our portion of that pool was $90,195 last year (roughly 6% of our budget). As you know when listening to WCBE’s on-air fundraisers, we operate on a razor-thin edge. Losing that money would cascade into some rather radical changes at WCBE, heralded by the whittling away of our local programs. Due to From WCBE; A Note On Budget Cuts http://wcbe.org/post/wcbe-note-budget-cuts 105032 as http://wcbe.org Tue, 21 Mar 2017 20:24:02 +0000 From WCBE; A Note On Budget Cuts Dan Mushalko 1. Describe your overall goals and approach to address identified community issues, needs, and interests through your station’s vital local services, such as multiplatform long and short-form content, digital and in-person engagement, education services, community information, partnership support, and other activities, and audiences you reached or new audiences you engaged. WCBE's mission statement is outwardly directed: "To be a catalyst for community..." Our overall goals, therefore, ultimately lead us to answer community issues, needs, and interests. We remained severely short-staffed in 2015, so couldn't advance far beyond our "standard" of the last couple of years. Nevertheless, we continued partnering with other non-profits (13 core NPOs ) to help them further their missions...this year, emphasizing arts/cultural and environmental issues. And, of course, we continued our now-annual fund drive to benefit both WCBE and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. 2.

Our beloved Wayne Self passed away early this week.

And you’ve already shaved one day! Our fund drives run nine days. Fall’s is scheduled to roll from Thursday, 10/16 through Friday, 10/24. Thanks to listeners like you who’ve made early donations, though, we can shave off Thursday. The fund drive will now run Friday to Friday. UNLESS… You’ve donated a total of $33,291.50 so far. That’s enough to remove Thursday from the fund drive schedule…and puts us $8,291.50 toward eliminating Friday, as well. That’s 33% of the way toward shaving a second day from the fund drive! So go ahead: shave another day. Make your donation now: just click that red “DONATE” button on the top right corner of this page. You’ll save Friday from the vicissitudes of fundraising, preserving your favorite shows intact for another day – and ensuring we can keep those shows coming your way all year long.

Dan Mushalko It's finally complete. Our big Spring on-air fund drive came to a close at 7pm on Friday, April 11. Perhaps complete isn't the correct word; we truly do need to raise a full $258,000 before our fiscal year comes to a close. Thanks to the 1,400 dedicated listeners who donated during our fundraiser, we raised a remarkable $183,915. That leaves $74,085 yet to earn before the fund drive is truly complete.

Big mahogany desks. Limousines. Gold-plated microphones. None of these are here at WCBE. In an effort to correct these myths, WCBE has produced this series of our fiscal facts and foibles to set the record straight. WEBISODE 1 WCBE: We're Constantly Broke Everyday http://wcbe.org/post/wcbe-were-constantly-broke-everyday 44973 as http://wcbe.org Fri, 18 Oct 2013 04:02:20 +0000 WCBE: We're Constantly Broke Everyday Dan Mushalko We're back in Newark! After years of searching, researching, and wrangling, WCBE is on the air in the Newark/Granville area once again. Our return required a frequency move: we're now broadcasting there at 106.3 FM. The geography of the area blocks our main frequency of 90.5 FM. When we had to power down several years ago due to interference with a new rock station in Columbus, listeners in that "blacked-out" region could no longer tune in to our dulcet tones and tunes. We're persistent broadcast buggers, though, and we've kept working at the issue ever since. Was it worth it? Let us know! If you listen to central Ohio's NPR station at 106.3 FM in Newark/Granville, drop us a line at wcbe@wcbe.org . Thanks for your support...and your patience! New Newark Signal Announced - 106.3 FM! http://wcbe.org/post/new-newark-signal-announced-1063-fm 30875 as http://wcbe.org Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:08:34 +0000 New Newark Signal Announced - 106.3 FM! Dan Mushalko Here it is: a brand new year -- 2013. We're way behind. According to my generation's dreams, by now the Jupiter 2 had launched with the Space Family Robinson (October 16, 1997); a fully-staffed Moonbase Alpha roamed space on a lost moon (1999); and the HAL 9000 computer lost its mind while singing Daisy above Jupiter (2001). While our species might have lost its way, you haven't. Through 2012, you kept the dream of WCBE alive and well. Our annual audit concluded just before the year itself, and it showed that central Ohio's NPR station remained strong right on through the Mayan doomsday: support from both listeners and local businesses kept WCBE out of the red and solidly in the black as December 31st ticked away. That enabled us to continue bringing you the great national and local public radio programs you love...from Morning Edition at dawn, through our world-encompassing local music programs, into the mix of news and music shows after sunset. Your support also enabled us to serve A New Year's Note from WCBE's GM http://wcbe.org/post/new-years-note-wcbes-gm 28250 as http://wcbe.org Tue, 01 Jan 2013 02:34:56 +0000 A New Year's Note from WCBE's GM Dan Mushalko I take Thanksgiving seriously. The holiday has a very special meaning -- one of a precious few that puts our focus outward. Even as we look inward to reflect on all the good things that have entered our lives, we center on the external sources of that goodness: on friends, on family, on community. It's the one time of year we acknowledge that we can't make it in the world by ourselves...that the best things in life come from others. Reflecting on this past year, I am immensely grateful for you . Without you, there simply couldn't be a WCBE. Sure, you already know we cannot exist without your donations -- listener financial support is the single most critical funding source for us. But you play an even bigger role than that. You're the very heart of this radio station. Without you, why would we choose this line of work? Why care so passionately about providing a 24/7 service that takes us away from our homes and families at all hours of the day and night? Why shape that service into a A Thanksgiving Letter to Our Listeners http://wcbe.org/post/thanksgiving-letter-our-listeners 26343 as http://wcbe.org Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:37:13 +0000 A Thanksgiving Letter to Our Listeners Dan Mushalko Since 1956, WCBE has served the central Ohio community with quality public radio programming: world, national and local news, diverse music, and a variety of other shows that entertain, inform, and keep you in touch with the world around you. ( View a video of our history .) WCBE keeps you connected! Our community cares about itself and the larger world... it celebrates the arts... it values people, their ideas, their inspirations, and their hopes. With your renewed support today, WCBE will continue to bring you - and thousands of others - great radio all year long. Morning Edition and All Things Considered set high standards for how you learn about our world. ‘CBE news anchors Alison Holm , Jim Letizia and Mike Foley bring the voice of our local news community to thousands in central Ohio every day. And the station’s original music programming (including our exclusive Live in Studio A performances) reflects the diversity of our community through song.

Due to recent developments, WCBE will no longer be broadcasting at our former 106.7 FM, Newark signal. At this time, we are trying to acquire another frequency in this area. By mid-October, we hope to hear whether or not our licenses both in Newark and Columbus are renewed. If they are, we'll begin the acquisition of a new frequency to broadcast from in the Newark area. We anticipate this may take another 4 weeks. The timeline for this project is estimated to be early December 2012. In the meantime, you can always listen to WCBE online at wcbe.org . We will post additional updates regarding our signal as they become available. Thank you for your patience and continued support! 106.7 FM Signal Powered Down http://wcbe.org/post/1067-fm-signal-powered-down 22738 as http://wcbe.org Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:42:57 +0000 106.7 FM Signal Powered Down Every Wednesday a guest bartender joins us on The Hills Market Veranda to help support a charity or organization of his or her choice.
