sportstalkCLEVELAND.com was an internet-only sports talk station in Cleveland, Ohio. The company was managed & operated by founder and president Paul Belfi, and their studios were located at 9446 Broadview, Broadview Heights, OH
Back in 2002, an agreement was reached with Salem Communications to partner WKNR with the fledgling Internet broadcast entity & website sportstalkCLEVELAND.com (aka STC). STC was to not only serve as the Internet home of WKNR and selected WKNR programming but to also offer Internet exclusive programming that would occasionally cross over on to the radio.
The very first sportstalkCLEVELAND broadcast was live on March 15, 2002 at the original Harpo's Sports Cafe on Brookpark Road.
WKNR's personalities would not only broadcast their show on terrestrial radio, they would also do a show on STC. Some notable personalities include the late John Antus, Les Levine, Bruce Drennan, Kenny Roda, Greg Brinda, Ken Silverstein, Dave Milo, Dave Scherer, Joe Lull, Matt Monter, Gene Winters, Andre Knott, Josh Sabo, Matt Loede, Bil Needle, Jeff Sack and Mike Catan.
In March of 2005, WKNR and sportstalkCLEVELAND went their separate ways. Over a weekend, all of STC's equipment was moved from the old WKNR studios in Broadview Heights, Ohio to the old ClevelandHits.com building at E. 55th and South Marginal.
In April of 2008, sportstalkCLEVELAND evolved into a larger Internet broadcast company and is now called sportstalkNETWORK
