Approximately 2 PM EST, the building that houses several companies on Oak Tree Blvd, opened a suspicious package, several people are ill and have received medical treatment. On of the companies is Clear Channel Radio, Cleveland's WTAM broadcasts there, and currentely are not available to stream their broadcasts. (They are streaming FOX sports.)

Anyone in the Northern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania/Southern Michigan area can receive the live broadcast on WTAM 1100 AM with Mike Trivasonno and his staff, they are broadcasting from a temporary studio set up in the parking lot.

There are no commercials, sports, traffic reports due to the building being evacuated.

There are several radio stations, a day care center and the mortgage company in the building. This package came to the mortgage company.

There is no "Cleveland accent". It's considered accentless American English. The radio and TV schools teach it because we don't drawl, slur, or clip any syllables

Oh please.

You must never listen to Joe Tait do Cavs games.

Actually, the WTAM building is the next one up Oaktree from those three.

I watched most of this, since I work for Thomson/West just across the street and down the block. The all clear was given at about 5:20, after Hazmat teams detected no chemical, nuclear or biological threat.

Cleveland is a "blue" city it will not be hit according to Bin Laden. In this case I believe him.

Glad it wasn't close. More than once I had no idea what was going on here until I got online.
