WION welcomed members of the West Michigan and Lansing S.B.E. chapters (Society of broadcast Engineers) for their annual picnic on our lawn this evening. So, for awhile, WION had the SMARTEST backyard anywhere in the United States or maybe even the world. Engineers chatting with we, the "normal" people...lol...and exchanging stories. Believe me, Radio engineers have GREAT stories to tell. Popeye John was our Chef for the night, on a […]

Things that leave us shaking our heads....or wondering.....WHAT?
WION radio apologizes for the temporary absence of our "townhall" national and international news. The manner in which it is distributed to us changed without notice, and a new piece of equipment is required to receive our network "feed." luckily, this is the only thing wion receives from satellite, and […]
As most any long-term advertiser on WION will tell you, once you're "on" with us, you may be purchasing, say, "40" commercial runs per month, but...we add-in more when there's room to do so in our programming! It's one way we TAKE CARE OF our clients who buy packages of […]
