TV Station To Broadcast All Cleveland High School Graduations

CLEVELAND — The virtual graduation ceremonies for all Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) high schools will be broadcast on CW 43 WUAB.

"We want to do as much as we possibly can under state guidelines to help our graduates experience the excitement of this milestone in their lives," CMSD CEO Eric Gordon said. "The virtual graduation ceremony, and the drive-up processions we also are planning, will celebrate their accomplishments while keeping them, their families and the community safe."

CW 43 WUAB is a sister station to Cleveland 19 News. The latter station's website will eventually include a rundown of when each graduation ceremony will be aired.

"This is a massive undertaking, but it is also a labor of love because the graduating class of 2020 has been denied so many things, including a proper celebration of their accomplishments." WOIO/WUAB General Manager Erik Schrader commented. "Even with social distancing, now is the time for broadcasters to step up and be connected with our community. Our goal is to give families a safe option for watching their student's graduation ceremony, right from their own living room. We are fortunate to have an excellent partner in the CMSD to help pull this together."
