WCPN 90.3 originally began as WBOE AM broadcasting at the high-frequency 45.5 megahertz in 1938 and owned by the Cleveland Board of Education. In 1940 it moved to 42.5 FM becoming the first educational station to do so. It's present-day signal at 90.3 first went on the air in 1948 and, by the time enough money was raised for the sole signal on that frequency, 42.5 went off the air for good. By that same time the station boosted to an ERP of 5,000. At first the station broadcast only educational access programming for the schools. By the mid 1960s, National Educational Radio Network and National Association of Educational broadcasters were also airing programs on the daytime-only station. By 1977, National Public Radio would broadcast in the evening hours. In 1978 financial struggles in the school district shut the station down. The new station, WCPN went on the air in 1979 as a project of the Cleveland Public Library. For years the station aired a lot of news and information programming as well as NPR programming and jazz music and the BBC World Service overnights. In September 2021 the owners of WCPN merged with the owners of Akron & Kent's WKSU to make it Northeast Ohio's singular NPR station. WCPN would change its call letters to WCLV in October 2021 and become a 24/7 classical station.
