10-3-25: Today at 11:15AM we received word that WCSB's programming was sold to Ideastream, and even though CSU still owns the license, station and call letters, and the format remains educational, all of the current station shows have been cancelled. Ray and Cindi are very hard at work finding a new slot where The Ray Carr Show can land and continue broadcasting the show our listeners have looked forward to weekly. Thank you for sticking with us since 2009. While things are in the works, in the meantime, you can still listen to Ray's Outer Limits of WIXY show on WIXY1260online Sundays from 10AM to 2PM, and Cindi on Everyone Knows It's Cindi on ihatefreespeech.net Monday nights 9-midnightish.
