A Legacy of Local Broadcasting and Marketing Since 1957
At the heart of the Mississippi Delta’s media landscape, Radio Cleveland, Inc. has served our region with dedication and distinction for nearly seven decades. Founded in 1957 with WCLD‑AM, the company was led by George Shurden and backed by ten local investors—each holding a 10% stake. Their mission: to meet a vital community need through local programming and effective advertising.
Our original studio at 602 North Davis Avenue relocated in 1968 to 911 South Davis Avenue, where we proudly continue our operations today.
