Recorded on the repair bench in the WION engineering room, we thought you'd enjoy this video of us actually "dubbing" via microphone to a digital file of this 1929 recording so we could play it for you on the air as a feature...showing the song THEN and NOW. This is what the mechanical motor looks like in a 1912 phonograph in Jim Carlyle's collection of "vintage" items. The machine used for the video is a different one, but we thought […]

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 of great gatherings on Thursdays in Downtown Ionia! Fast Forward! […]
