The sound of the state

Cleveland DJ Alan Freed helped popularise the phrase rock and roll on WJW in the early 1950s, which is one reason the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is on Lake Erie. In the 1930s WLW briefly broadcast at 500,000 watts. Cleveland is also a polka city. Rock radio, classical radio and polka radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Ohio keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer.
