In the wee hours of July 31st, as this is written, a power outage has affected WION which is operating on generator.  Consumers’ Energy map shows two major “lobes” of outage, Haynor road studios of WION just barely in one of them.  There is no Estimated time of restoration for this…but, as usual, it comes NOT during a storm, NOT during high winds, and NOT with any direct connection to the weather we see outside at this early  hour.

WION will continue to serve you on generator, however we may lose the 100.3 link to Lowell from Ionia if the cable system goes down, and we may also lose streaming.

We’ll try to find out more…in the LATER morning.
