2024’S TREASURES FOR TROOPS OFFICIAL PAGE

It's hard to believe but it's been ten years since wion started the annual “Treasures for Troops” campaign. Ten years of your generous donations and putting smiles on the faces of military members far from home. This year, WION has happily turned over the event to our partner, the Blue Star Mothers of Ionia, Kent, and Montcalm counties, and we fully support their collecting, packing, and mailing as always.

Apologies to Barry Scott Lost 45 Listeners…

Apparently not all of the segments for the countdown this week made it to "air" on WION.

Sometimes technology lets us down.  Programs you hear on WION such as our Townhall […]

Have you read your WION-FM Car Radio Lately?

  A long time ago, in a station not so far away... WION had a system common to FM stations called "RDS" which is where you can read information on your (mainly) car radios about artist, title, or other interesting things.  A former engineer of ours wrote his own program, […]
