Luis Proenza to retire

Some Podunk radio station from Youngstown

WFMJ 21 is a television station in Youngstown.

For anyone that really cares: LIVE STREAM - 21 News will provide a live stream of the public forum for the Youngstown State University presidential finalists. The second candidate will be Gary Miller, chancellor of the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The forum is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m.

Wait...do people in Youngstown even have TVs?

Very few any longer. Cathodes are becoming increasingly hard to find.

Youngstown has six local TV stations. How many does Akron have??? Exactly.

Btw 21 WFMJ interviewed your student government president and they said they wanted a PhD candidate.

Thanks for the Info. Good to know our student body actually wants a PhD too, the last two student presidents were definitely the best UA has to offer (and I'm being very serious when I say that). Die-hard Akron, Die-hard Zips.

But Define "local TV station"...because Akron has 5 that I know of, probably another one I'm not aware of.

Apparently Don Hillenbrand has been taking shots at Jim Tressel for quite awhile. A couple of years ago he even invoked the wrath of the most prolific letter writer in the history of the Akron Beacon Journal, David T. Culp. Check out the third letter to the editor from Feb. 10, 2012.

Akron is part of the Cleveland market. For a city as large as Akron, and Canton for that matter, it seems unfortunate that you folks are lumped into the Cleveland market.

Youngstown has its own NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, MyTV, and CW. Of course PBS is shared between Youngstown/Can't on 45/49.

As someone from Youngstown who currently goes to Akron, I can say that at least Youngstown has there own TV stations and doesn't have to rely on the Cleveland news which gives them a couple minutes.

Per Fox Youngstown, YSU will meet at 8am, Akron at 2pm, on Thursday to discuss and likely make their selections for President. Of course each meeting will be in executive session. Will keep you updated.

Thanks for posting Ada Zip. I think it's also a very good representation of what a lot of people here in Ohio think as well.

And again.

[ZachTheZip]

The trustees meet at 2:00.

With any luck, they'll announce a surprise hiring of Dr. Louis Proenza to be the next president at UA.

[Dr Z]

Hey Zipmeister, are you still willing to take that bet? My kid needs a new pair of shoes.

What was the bet? Time to pay up.

[ZippyRulz]

Looks like we'll now have to start a search for a new executive vice president for student success

LOL....This is when you find out what a joke this has all been. This position will mysteriously cease to exist.

What ?!!!! who will be doing all the encouraging?

Unfortunately he never accepted my bet. All I will say about the new guy is be careful what you wish for.

Who on ZN "wished" for Dr Scarborough? More than a handful? More ZN members were posting that Tressel was "a done deal."

They were just wishing for anybody but Tressel.

My only memory of Tress at Akron was him nodding off during my graduation.

Several times.

One of the cuts the new President should make. A complete farce from the beginning.

[Dave in Green]

Right, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and all the other universities with VPs of Student Success are just waiting for UA to eliminate the position so they can follow suit. Then there are all the other universities who call it VP of Student Affairs who are looking to UA for leadership in eliminating this position. Why on earth should any university have a VP devoted to student interests?
