Radio is STILL fighting to stay in your Dashboard!

The Radio industry, particularly "AM" radio (which WION really IS)....still has it's battles with the bigwigs at the big auto manufacturers. We've been in your dashboard for YEARS....for baseball games,top 40 hits, weather related announcements, talk-radio company, and the "local" flavor of many towns as you travel or visit. There's absolutely no reason NOT to be included in new vehicles, be they electric or hybrid, or gasoline powered.  The excuse […]

Kindness on a Back Road

A wonderful combination of (my definition) "Americana" and Kindness captured yesterday near St. Louis, MI on my way to pick up a transmitter from our engineer. I had to turn around and take the video and picture. These people had to bother PUTTING the old car on their lawn, stocking the "free" produce in the trunk, and make it inviting. Kindness on a back road. Nothing more.  Just that. Simple […]

Feelings Can be Mailed!

WION has listeners all around the world, and one in England has contributed to our music library. One song missing from the libraries we bought 19 years ago was....drum roll please....."Feelings...woaw woaw woaw Feelings...." and, for fun, we played part of it from YouTube last time the title came up.  (We still have to pay to play it, so why not.)....  Thanks to international mail, and a very fun listener […]

Monday’s “Selective Hearing” trivia answer…and info…

  If you were with us on Monday's J and J Midday show, you heard some "odd" noises that were not coming from Isabelle, Jim, or Justin.  We actually had a device in the studio emitting odd noises picked up by the microphone at the round table. It was a 1950's "Zenith" remote control for an early TV.  The four tuning forks inside it triggered motors that ran the volume […]

Corporate America vs. Local Ownership in our area…

Interesting how buyouts of one small company by another in the name of growth, expansion, or better service often end much differently than expected.  I remember the first time I worked with a company that got bought out, and it was partially my fault, perhaps, but without my decision we may not be talking today.  I worked in a family-owned "rent to own" and retail store, selling and renting TVs, […]

Guests in the studio, Trivia, and weather….(Updated)

The post below was written  around 9 AM.....now, the storms are showing two separate cells aiming at Michigan, with Ionia "possibly" in between the two.....but then farther back is one cell pretty much right on line with our area if it doesn't change it's track.  I'll call it the "split then the hit"...and, as I said on the radio, I'm not a meteorologist, nor do I claim to know how […]

WION Thanks Team Members….and Listeners…

It's no secret to our listeners that the last week or so has been "technologically challenging" at our studios and at Lowell's "Broadcast Hill." It has tried my patience more than you can know, even though I've shared some of the frustrations with you during the J and J Midday Show. First it was Spectrum's poorly-deployed/poorly designed system that needs a SECOND box attached to our cable modem to provide […]
