City Correspondence: Rich Historical Background Seen Alongside Raccoon Infestation in Snowville
In the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, a piece of the city's broadcasting history was recently erased when the old Carl Smith building at the 8200 Snowville road site was torn down last year. This building, which had stood for nearly a century, was a staple in the local broadcasting community, housing various radio broadcast engineering operations over many decades.
One individual who held a special connection to the building was Jim Csaszar, a retired broadcast engineer who spent several days roaming through its halls during his 47-year career. Csaszar reminisced about his time spent in the building, recalling its rich history, as well as the challenges it faced, such as raccoons entering through numerous holes in the structure.
Csaszar, a retired iHeartMedia engineer from Cleveland, Ohio, has known Mark Krieger for years. The two had worked together at some point during their careers, and Csaszar considers Krieger to be a professional in broadcast engineering. As Krieger prepares for retirement, Csaszar wished him good luck, offering a testimonial to Krieger's professionalism.
The Carl Smith building, with its numerous holes and the occasional raccoon infestation, was not always in the best condition. Despite Csaszar's efforts to seal the small holes, he was not entirely successful. Nevertheless, the building's significance to the local media landscape cannot be understated.
Before retiring in August 2021, the author, who had also worked in the 8200 Snowville building twice during their career as a radio broadcast engineer, witnessed the demolition of the old Carl Smith building. The author had previously worked for Gannet Radio, Jacor, and Clear Channel (later becoming iHeartMedia).
