Today, we honor the life, music, and soul of a true legend.
From Brown Sugar to Voodoo to Black Messiah, D’Angelo reshaped R&B and neo-soul with his honesty, vulnerability, and timeless sound.

His voice was velvet, his message was truth, and his artistry was revolutionary.
Though he has transitioned, the grooves he created and the emotions he stirred will echo forever.

🎶 “How does it feel?” — It feels like we’ve lost a light, but gained a legacy.

New Podcast Alert: The Upload — powered by DigitalC, in partnership with WOVU 95.9 FM, and distributed by iHeartRadio— premieres October 13!

Episode 1: Join Joshua Edmonds and community voices for a candid conversation about civic power, voting enablement, and what it means to turn access into action.

Because connection without participation is wasted bandwidth — and at DigitalC, we believe connection isn’t access; it’s activation.

WOVU Launches New Streaming Audio Station “WOVU Plus” on iHeartRadio

New Channel Brings Back the Hits from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s — Cleveland’s Classic R&B

CLEVELAND, OH — WOVU 95.9 FM, Cleveland’s Urban Alternative, is proud to announce the launch of WOVU Plus, a new 24/7 streaming audio station available on iHeartRadio. With a format dedicated to the greatest old school R&B from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, WOVU Plus expands the station’s digital footprint and offers listeners even more of the timeless music they love.

This new addition to the WOVU family complements the main WOVU 95.9 FM broadcast, which is also distributed on iHeartRadio and continues to serve as a vital community voice and cultural hub for Cleveland. WOVU Plus carries the station’s new signature tagline — Cleveland’s Classic R&B — with wall-to-wall classic R&B and soul, transporting listeners to the golden era of rhythm and groove.

In addition to curated old school programming, WOVU Plus will feature special airings of classic mixes from legendary Cleveland DJ and WOVU original Rockville, celebrating his iconic contributions to the city’s music scene. The stream will also include re-airings of “Classic Jamz with Action Jackson,” the Friday afternoon favorite hosted by Don “Action” Jackson, the beloved personality known for his encyclopedic knowledge of R&B and his decades-long connection with Northeast Ohio audiences.

WOVU Plus is powered by the FCB Radio Network and is now live and available for free streaming on the iHeartRadio app and at iHeart.com. Just search “WOVU Plus” to start listening or go to the direct link https://www.iheart.com/live/wovu-plus-11170/

You can also access WOVU Plus directly at wovu.org/plus.
