Digital this. Digital THAT. Is it really better? That debate goes on. What we CAN tell you is that in many vehicles, the "satellite radio" channels compress your music leaving you with the sound of bad mp3's recorded by your middle school-age kid. So, when can DIGITAL sound GREAT? When it's the STEREO INTERNET STREAM OF WION! You say you only listen to "digital sources? Well, we're there! We're […]

The Michigan News Network is delivered via the internet, not satellite, so we are not able to edit out political […]
Apparently not all of the segments for the countdown this week made it to "air" on WION. While there is no reschedule of this three-hour program feature, you CAN catch his segments missed on his website this week. Barry always releases the show on his site AFTER they've played on […]
