Former WCSB member Daniel Vargas Jr., whom many of us knew as “Junior” Vargas, has passed away. His obituary in Saturday’s Plain Dealer mentioned his 40 year career in radio on WZAK and WCSB and expressed the wonderful sentiment – “His music will play forever!”
His funeral will be held on Monday 2/1/10 at 10 am at La Sagrada Familia Catholic Church, 7719 Detroit Ave. in Cleveland.
WCSB’s music director Jake Griswold will be premiering his video footage from the WCSB Halloween Party Concert at the Bela Dubby in Lakewood this Saturday 12/9/10 beginning at 9pm. He will also be screening the 1982 exploitation thriller “Class of 1984″. The event is free and open to the public.
WCSB would like to thank all of our amazing listeners for donating to Radiothon 2009. After a slow start, you really came through for us. Not only did we reach our goal, but we exceeded it by over $5,000, yielding our highest Radiothon total ever!
Please join us at our annual Open House, Friday November 20th from 4pm-8pm & Sunday November 22nd from 12pm-4pm. You can pick up your premiums, meet your favorite DJs, check out our new studios and enjoy some light refreshments.
