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. So, […]
Apparently not all of the segments for the countdown this week made it to "air" on WION. While there is no reschedule of this three-hour program feature, you CAN catch his segments missed on his website this week.

Tell the Oakwood you "read this on the radio!" I'm pretty picky about my burgers...and my Chili. The Oakwood Lounge answers my needs in Eastern Ionia County with the BEST burgers since the Lamplight in Ionia! We congratulate them on 1 year of being reopened...with GREAT service, a friendly environment, […]
You may have heard Jim Carlye on the radio over the past nearly 20 years talk about his love of "vintage" electronics. The studios of WION have many vintage radios, some unique TV sets, and other oddities on display that came from his home when he moved to Ionia. Hello! […]
The Data service from WION is SO useful! We're enjoying the expanded possibilities!
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, […]
