Obviously if you're here, you are well aware of WION's existence. Some of what you're about to read you may not know, however. The keys to this station were handed to me in 2004 on August 14th, 22 years ago this week. The station was DEAD. Off the air. NO programming, NO listeners, NO accounts receivable or clients, NO following, we didn't even have a kitchen sink! That's correct, there […]
As provided-to and published by "Lowell's First Look" and we thank them! WION Radio has been a partner with local Lowell businesses, most notably the Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce for many years. Liz Baker, former Chamber director now retired from the Chamber first advertised on WION when we had ONLY an A.M. Station in Ionia, but found it effective in bringing people to “Christmas on the Lowell Showboat” many […]
We're coming up on a huge birthday soon. This year, on july 4th, 2026, our country celebrates two hundred fifty years! That's a lot of years! That's a lot of history...AND, that's a lot of opportunity! Despite the way this country seems so divided and “determined to fight among it's own people”....AT Wion, we believe it's a time for celebration and your voices should be heard. With that in mind, […]
WION radio is local radio. Not corporate. Not answering to stockholders, but answering to you, our listeners and our advertisers! We’re here for you…every day of the year. In good weather with fun music and personalities, and in bad weather with live people in the studio helping to get you local information in emergencies. CLICK PLAY ABOVE TO HEAR THIS POST We’re here, like we’ve been for 21 years, but […]
Back in "the day" people used to keep a lookout in questionable weather (extremely humid, fast rising or falling temperatures, etc) and take responsibility to tune-in to local media which, back in the (same) day was not owned by corporate monsters that program from hundreds of miles away from your home town...and the result: Local people giving you LOCAL weather information. Today, you check your phone. If you don't "like" […]
Look at this headline, found in a box of about 2.5 pounds of old 1950's and early 1960's headlines that I was going through today in WION's back room....Almost laughable now that it's such a big deal seeing this, huh? And, this must be well before the fill-in of the opposite side of the road where M1CCU, Independent Bank, and Olivera's currently sit. Read the second wire story! And, there's […]
Saturday March 28th was a GREAT "rite of Spring" for many people including Jim Carlyle and Phil Cloud from WION! We were invited to broadcast from the Lowell Community Expo and we had a blast. We received many compliments on our programming for Kent County, which is on 100.3 FM hailing from the City of Lowell! We thank the Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce for their support and partnership with […]
We look forward to our returning to the Lowell community expo! Listen for interviews...better yet tune us in on your way to the expo on 100.3 in Lowell or 92.7 in Ionia County, 1430 anywhere in West Central Michigan, or on your favorite device, then come visit with us and lots of other area businesses and organizations. it's all at Lowell high school Saturday! (March 28)
When we're not bringing you Jim and Justin or Edwards' Archives, or our Noon Newsblock, or "Totally 80's Flashback" or...Turntable Trainwrecks, or Popeye John's Monday Night Classic Rock"....or Barry Scott's Lost 45's....we're still working hard to bring you a great station with music and information EVERY hour!
