FAQs for City Club's Programming Change
Why can’t I find the City Club forum on 90.3?
Our primary media partner, Ideastream Public Media is moving all their news and information programming from WCPN 90.3 FM to WKSU 89.7 FM. So starting Friday, April 1 you will find our live broadcast on 89.7 FM from 12 noon to 1 p.m. With this move, all their programs will reach a larger audience across all of Northeast Ohio, not just Greater Cleveland. The City Club forum is moving along with them.
Why is the forum start time changing?
Noon makes a lot more sense as a start time than 12:30. With the changes happening at Ideastream Public Media this was a good time to reset the start time, so we can better serve the whole community. City Club forums have been broadcast live in Greater Cleveland for 96 years and we believe the tradition of free public access to our forums is important to continue.
Is the forum start time changing in-person too?
Yes, beginning in April if you are attending a forum in-person, doors will open at 11:15am and lunch will be served before the forum starts promptly at 12 noon.
Will the free livestream still be available?
Yes, the livestream will still be available for free on our website at cityclub.org.
Can I still ask a question if I’m not in-person?
Yes, we will still welcome questions from those joining us via our livestream or the radio broadcast. Questions can be tweeted @thecityclub or you sent via text to 330-541-5794.
Will I still get to eat lunch?
Yes, Chef Adam Crawford and his team will continue to offer delicious lunch options. We ask that you arrive early to be sure you can be seated and served before the forum begins at 12 noon.
Will I still be able to park next door for just $3?
Yes, we will still offer parking validation for all our guests that allows you to park next door between 11am and 2:30pm for just $3.
