WYSU, YSU Foundation move into Melnick Hall

YOUNGSTOWN — WYSU and the Youngstown State University Foundation have new digs.

Both have moved into the renovated Melnick Hall on Wick Avenue. WYSU likely will start broadcasting from the new site on Melnick’s second floor next week.

“We have about 40 percent more space here,” said Gary Sexton, WYSU director.

The station has been in the basement of Cushwa Hall since 1976. Before that, it was in the former Valley Park Motel on Wick.

“This is the first time in WYSU’s 46-year history that we’re in a place that was designed to be a radio station,” Sexton said today.
