The station, and Sague himself, publicly advocated for the use of courtroom photography and broadcasting in the Judiciary of Ohio. On April 25, 1957, WSRS and Sague hosted a private screening of mass murderer Jack Gilbert Graham's trial, complied from television and film coverage, for the judges of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas; Graham's trial was the first one to have such coverage. WSRS would also make news on July 15, 1958, when two on-air hosts of a panel discussion program dealing with trade unions and right to work legislation were attacked by two unknown assailants outside the studio; the station had previously been subject to a series of threatening telephone calls over the program's subject matter. Rival organizations Ohioans for the Right-to-Work and the Cleveland AFL-CIO both offered up rewards for the arrests and convictions of the attackers.
