Cleveland Akron, OH, July 24, 2026 —

XCSB, an independent radio initiative that emerged from the former Cleveland State University radio station WCSB, has announced it has secured a new studio location. The organization has signed a five-year lease for a space at 15721 Waterloo Road in Cleveland’s Waterloo District.

This development follows the original station’s shutdown by the university. XCSB has established itself as a successor entity, continuing operations independently.

The newly leased studio is situated within the Cleveland Rocks Shop, a component of the NOMAD Music Hub. This location places XCSB in proximity to the well-known Beachland Ballroom, a prominent venue in the Waterloo Arts and Entertainment District.

The Waterloo District is recognized for its vibrant arts and music scene, and the NOMAD Music Hub aims to further support local artists and cultural endeavors. The establishment of XCSB’s studio within this hub is expected to contribute to the area’s existing creative atmosphere.

Further details regarding the operational plans for the new XCSB studio were not immediately available. The organization’s transition to a new, independent space marks a significant step in its continuation after the closure of the university-affiliated WCSB.
