WION NIGHT MOVES ACROSS TOWN TO “THE BOWLING ALLEY”

For many years, WION Celebrated what began as "92-7 Night" at the Lamplight Grill.  It was a way of promoting the Grill and...our (then) new FM signal for Ionia County.  It became "WION Night" as we grew to add our 1003 FM in Lowell/Eastern Kent County and the streaming of our live AM stereo sound!  A HUGE thank you goes out to Rich Thompson and his Lamplight Grill for years […]

What a Difference Nineteen Years Makes to a Radio Station!

Where have the years gone??  We've just passed our 19 year mark ....saving and reviving Ionia County's radio station. The re-birth of WION as "today's" I-1430, or AM Stereo 1430, or "America's Biggest Little Radio Station"...(pick your favorite descriptor) began in August of 2004. The station was off the air from the passing of the former owner and the timeclock running out.  When a licensed broadcast station is off the […]

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 […]

Results of Searching “WION Radio” On the Web…

It's Sunday afternoon. I'm dogsitting for Isabelle's sister, Jasmine. Last week was an AWFUL week for any technology so I'm avoiding it religiously today, except for typing on my personal laptop, the one WITHOUT any WION emails or work-related tasks. It's a rest-the-brain and no-radio kind of day. So, just […]

A polite request so we can “see” your town online…

Our carrier for streaming, "Live 365" recently changed how we see what are called the "analytics" of our (online)  listenrship.  Justin and I always LOVED reading off the towns, followed by the state or, sometimes the COUNTRY in which people listen.  It lets us be more "personal" with you, our […]
