Everyone talks “A-I” but Today it’s “Alexa” Issues!

I have some "Alexa" controlled devices.  My life, however does not depend on them working.  I can still turn a light on or off myself, and never "over-animated" my home with too much web-based/voice-activated stuff.   Earlier this afternoon, the WION "Skill" was unreachable my Amazon.  Our "Weatherflow" skill also went down....and, I randomly checked some of my Amazon accounts personal skills. Some worked, some did not, but this was early into an "Alexa Outage."  An hour later or so, control […]

Jim’s “Round Table” headphones brought to you by….

Regular listeners to our J and J Midday show know that every other week, Justin and I  exchange positions in the studio, one taking the seat at the controls, the other at the round table.  (literally the "round table.")   This keeps both of us polished in operating the station and dealing with multi-tasking the three computers, on-air phones, text inbox, emails, and everything that makes up our show. This week, it's my turn at the round table.  Just a few […]

The Importance of AM radio in new Autos: Energy and Commerce Committee Hearing

Jim Carlyle here. I don't agree with all the people, nor the way in which AM is being portrayed as "Emergency Services Need (only)"  But, if it gets automakers to retain AM in vehicles, my industry wins. However, the people both ASKING the questions (congress) and those representing AM in this hearing (the "panel" ) in my estimation were poorly prepared if not poorly chosen.  The "localism" presented by AM stations owned by operators who are active parts of their […]

More of “Edwards’ Archives” Beginning in July!

Those of you tuned-in last week may have caught Randy Edwards' calling the J and J Midday show from his home studio with some GREAT news!  Even as Randy's "Turntable Trainwrecks" has ended it's run in our noon hour, a feature we've had for probably around a decade, Randy is putting his efforts into expanding "Edwards' Archives" heard weekends on WION. Randy tells us that he'll be expanding the program to TWO hours beginning in July.  This means TWICE the […]

A blink at our studios, An “outage” for many….

A/K/A "AREN'T YOU GLAD YOUR CAR ISN'T AN E-V TODAY?" We try to mention on days when it's (continuously) above 90 or flirting with 90 degrees to be "conservative" in electric use.  It could be coincidence, it could be overusage of the local grid, but the "outage roulette" has begun this afternoon.   Parts of our listening area in town are without power. Please check on your elderly neighbors and any pets that rely on air conditioning...restoration times are predicted for […]

Your (email) Voice can help keep AM radio in Cars!

If you've followed the 'AM in (new) car issue, you know that Ford Motor Company recently reversed their direction and agreed to "install" AM in their new digital dashboards with an "over the air" software update.  Thus, it's not that tough to INCLUDE AM in cars coming off today's assembly lines.   That was ONE victory, but there are still other manufacturers doing business in the United States that need to be told that is, indeed, important to YOU. The people […]
