To our valued Lowell listeners on 100.3.... We hope you know that whenever there is an issue with our signal on 100.3 we are notified and we do our very BEST to get it back on for you. Without lengthy explanations, just know that we deal with two different Internet Service Providers to get you the audio for your Kent County Signal. Sometimes one or the other has issues. When […]
Just wanted to let anyone concerned know that we ARE aware of the outage of Lowell's 100.3, WION-FM. It appears to have started about 5:30 this morning, the 10th of December, and came ON again about an hour later, but is off as of this writing at 9:45 Wednesday morning. When the weather clears for safer traveling and I can get a vehicle to the site, we'll investigate. The equipment […]
Justin's question on Tuesday was, "This item, available in Ionia cost 35 cents in 1945, what's the item? The answer was, "A TICKET TO THE IONIA THEATRE" It came from this ad in a vintage newspaper. Thank you J and T Antiques and Estates for the newspapers!
As many of you know, the Lowell frequency for WION Radio has been off the air since Saturday afternoon of this previous weekend. I was out of town when the notification came to me by a longtime listener. Our equipment is set to automatically shut down the 100.3 transmitter if it loses the audio being sent from our Ionia studios, and as I have said on the air many times, […]
WION is aware of the outage of internet affecting our 100.3 FM. It is caused by the internet provider, not any of WION's equipment. As of this writing, Sunday morning the 9th of November, we are unable to get an answer on the duration or cause of our particular outage caused by the ISP. When internet is restored, the station will come up and operate as normal on it's own […]
(Opinion from Jim Carlyle) Would someone tell me exactly why it is that it’s MY responsibility to lower the price of items I sell online because THEY (the buyer ) live farther away from me than what they consider to be a normal distance… at which they might... I assume… pay the full price at which I listed the item?? Perhaps the next time I go to Cedar point […]

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 […]
A couple of years ago, a YouTube content creator named Shango066 worked on an AM stereo portable radio, found to be a prototype from Motorola. We contacted him about WION being in AM stereo, and our engineer Greg who is undeniably the expert on this type of broadcasting and this type of radio. A cooperative effort was made to fix the radio and Shango posted one video on it. Later, […]
