Hi everyone,

Over the years, we’ve grown as a public radio organization, first taking over the reins of WGUC from the University of Cincinnati and later purchasing WVXU from Xavier University. Since we acquired them separately, each station had its own social media pages. Since then, we’ve merged both stations into one organization: Cincinnati Public Radio.

You may have heard about our move to a new state-of-the-art building in Evanston next year, where we will have an opportunity to engage even more with the community as Cincinnati Public Radio brings you news and information from 91.7 WVXU/88.5 WMUB and the best in classical music from 90.9 WGUC. To bring you more content, we’ve decided to merge the WVXU and WGUC Meta social media pages into Cincinnati Public Radio pages.

As such, the 91.7 WVXU Facebook and Instagram pages have been renamed “Cincinnati Public Radio,” where we will post social media content that includes news and music updates from both of our radio stations. We are encouraging WGUC Facebook and Instagram followers to follow the combined Cincinnati Public Radio pages on page and Instagram.

This should streamline things for fans, help our followers discover new content, and hopefully allow us to bring you even even more as we get ready for our move to our new location at 2117 Dana Avenue.

Please join us by following all of our Cincinnati Public Radio social media accounts.

There's something wrong with the plumbing in Cincinnati. Sewage is bubbling up in our basements and pouring into our waterways. Climate change is making it worse, and the powers that be can't seem to agree on how to fix it.

Hop in, gang, we're solving a mystery in the sewers.

So, here’s our question to Bill:

How do you put those segments together?

And why?
