FREE MOVIE AT IONIA THEATRE AND…YOUR THOUGHTS…

Normally I don't put "events" on this page, but...with the (Theatre's decision)  change from Monday evenings to Sunday Matinee screenings, attendance has changed for WION's "Free Movies" and, quite honestly, not for the best.  I believe that movie attendance would be better if returned to Monday nights.  After all, an average night finds a handful of cars enjoying Ionia's historic theatre for NEW RELEASE movies...and when we had our movies on Mondays, the lowest attendance was around 75 people which […]

Apologies to our listeners on 100.3 for September 26/27th weekend

Over the weekend yet another internet outage took our Lowell signal on 100.3 off the air. This time it was Point Broadband, self admitted (for once) in an email to the station found late on Sunday night. We have tried, now, for over 5 years to keep this signal “on” and “reliable” to you...but, as we've said on the air, when you deal with two different internet service providers, it's rough! Moreover, when the internet goes down at our 100.3/Lowell […]

“Compost Occurs”-even in Radio….

We try. Really, we do. Give me a minute to explain. Most large radio stations today don't even LISTEN to their own product. Their own “sound” and, their own “issues” when they happen. We DO. For the past few days, there's been quite a few interruptions in our streaming service AND in the service we provide to Lowell and Eastern Kent County. Unlike some stations, however, we: take responsibility and acknowledge issues, and: We fix them as soon as humanly […]

It’s National Radio Day again……do we celebrate?

Obviously if you're here, you are well aware of WION's existence.  Some of what you're about to read  you may not know, however. The keys to this station were handed to me in 2004 on August 14th, 22 years ago this week. The station was DEAD.  Off the air. NO programming, NO listeners, NO accounts receivable or clients, NO following, we didn't even have a kitchen sink!  That's correct, there was NO kitchen sink, no water heater thanks to a […]

Our ONE “Home, Home, on the Web”

As provided-to and published by "Lowell's First Look" and we thank them! WION Radio has been a partner with local Lowell businesses, most notably the Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce for many years. Liz Baker, former Chamber director now retired from the Chamber first advertised on WION when we had ONLY an A.M. Station in Ionia, but found it effective in bringing people to “Christmas on the Lowell Showboat” many years ago, and a wonderful relationship with Lowell was born. […]

YOU GET TO WISH THE UNITED STATES A “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”…

With that in mind, we've turned our toll free number into a “wish the […]

Too Many Warnings from Too Many Places….

Back in "the day" people used to keep a lookout in questionable weather (extremely humid, fast rising or falling temperatures, etc) and take responsibility to tune-in to local media which, back in the (same) day was not owned by corporate monsters that program from hundreds of miles away from your home town...and the result:  Local people giving you LOCAL weather information. Today, you check your phone.  If you don't "like" one source, you click to a local TV station, or […]
