Congratulations, Angi!!
Good Morning, Folks. I came into the studio today to find streaming down, Lowell down, and no internet. I'm posting this backup via Starlink, which allows me to stream but will not carry our Lowell audio. It appears the "new" system they have where their "latest and greatest" modem won't support our static IP address (meaning we need a second SPECTRUM box to do that) has failed. The modem is fine, but THEIR secondary box is not working. This means […]

Our audience always grows during freefair as guests come to […]
Twenty years is a long time! It's a VERY long time to be in business by today's standards. That's how long Ionia has enjoyed the Lamplight Grill in downtown Ionia, and almost that long for me, personally. As WION approaches 19 years on the air, it's a bit of a parallel as The Lamplight began under Rich Thompson's ownership about a year ahead of our team saving the signal of AM 1430. When I came to Ionia to investigate the […]
