Do they broadcast on-line?
I tried that link you sent me, and I got this You Tube video, but no
audio.
Am I missing something?

There is a Big Band and Swing station in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, just
outside of Cleveland. They are a non-NPR publicly supported station
based at a High School. They have two very underpaid employees, the
Manager and the Engineer. All of the regular air staff are
volunteers, many of them air staff from back in the Longago.
During the current fund drive, they have been going dark on the
overnight, from 11 PM to 7 AM. I called the Manager today to
mention this, and he must have known who was calling (I am a
constant pest when they go quiet) as he just started by saying,
"Look, we just did a $13,000 upgrade to our software and we're
having some installation issues." I make very few telephone
calls. I was impressed that he would know who was calling. I did
not give my name -- I suspect that he would prefer me to lose their
telephone number!
I give them $50 a year. I felt REALLY humbled. If I had $13,000,
I'd pay the bill. Maybe I ought to sell off my collection, even
though I am not a collector?
In any event, no donation is too small. $5? $10? They need it
all. This station, thanks to its web stream, ranges from Germany
and Russia to Alaska to Australia, and THOSE folks are paying. <http://www.wkrr.org

Help keep the music flowing. They do broadcast a lot of grand
music, from Sinatra to Keely Smith. You will probably not find the
same anywhere else.
Sorry to go off-topic!
