Dave Chappelle Helps Keep Ohio Radio Station Rooted in Hometown with Restored Building
The restored 19th-century schoolhouse will keep NPR affiliate WYSO in town as local public radio faces funding pressure.
- On Thursday, Comedian Dave Chappelle joined neighbors and officials at the renovated Union Schoolhouse to celebrate the new home of NPR affiliate WYSO, securing the radio station's future in Yellow Springs.
- Facing mounting pressure from funding challenges and audience fragmentation in recent years, local media outlets have struggled; Chappelle financed the redevelopment to prevent the station from relocating to nearby Dayton, which he called a "crushing blow" for Yellow Springs.
- More than 200 people gathered to view the restored 19th-century Union Schoolhouse, which Iron Table Holdings purchased in 2020. The modern, multiuse space houses WYSO on the lower floors while reserving the top floor for Chappelle's offices.
