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, great food, and your favorite summer beverages, too! Congratulations from WION! -Carlyle
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! It's me, Jim. ...and the latest of my projects is two vintage TV sets from teh 1960's. They're appropriately called "roundies" in collectors' circles because of the picture tube. For […]
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, and for years we ran it...and we used to put birthdays on it, and other things. We never had a chance to do artist and title, however due to available […]

WION received an e-mail on June 11th that the program we've added on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons called, "Psycho Jello Radio" is ending production. It's been airing Saturday mornings at 8 AM and Sundays at 3PM. Insert Sigh here. It was a nice fit for us, and many of you wrote us saying you enjoyed the program. We're sorry for "hooking" you on it then sending this news, but...as in much of life, this is beyond our control. At […]
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 the rest of our programming originates locally! We will return to carrying top of the hour newscasts from townhall in a few days! The michigan news network is unaffected by […]
