Cleveland;s longest-running and most successful effort to communicate Jewish content on the radio was, without doubt, the Jewish Scene radio broadcasts. They ran more than 21 years - from November 1978 through July 2000. In February 2011 we created a page describing their history.   see page

But there was Jewish radio before 1978. The pioneer, in the 1920s, may have been Rabbi Barnett Brickner of Anshe Chesed congregation (then known as the Euclid Avenue Temple).

And there has been Jewish broadcasting after July 2000, including a program still on-air at WJCU (88.7 FM), the station of John Carroll University in University Heights.

This page will be enlarged to tell the story of Cleveland Jewish radio before and after the Jewish Scene broadcasts.
