News these days is important, in the proper doses. WION Radio has always had a news source on the air. We began with the Michigan Radio Network and CBS.

They were owned by a large corporation, and THEY “lost us” during a corporate buyout and […]

I was fortunate this past weekend to attend an event in Akron, Ohio with two very good friends. The event was postponed from January due to bad weather and I was the beneficiary of being able to attend on the delayed date. The event was called "Dead Media Market" and, the event was anything BUT "dead." We got there as it opened and stood in line. In the lobby were […]

When the weather clears for safer traveling and I can get a vehicle to the site, we'll investigate. The equipment […]
Justin's question on Tuesday was, "This item, available in Ionia cost 35 cents in 1945, what's the item? The answer was, "A TICKET TO THE IONIA THEATRE" It came from this ad in a vintage newspaper. Thank you J and T Antiques and Estates for the newspapers!
As many of you know, the Lowell frequency for WION Radio has been off the air since Saturday afternoon of this previous weekend. I was out of town when the notification came to me by a longtime listener. Our equipment is set to automatically shut down the 100.3 transmitter if it loses the audio being sent from our Ionia studios, and as I have said on the air many times, […]
WION is aware of the outage of internet affecting our 100.3 FM. It is caused by the internet provider, not any of WION's equipment. As of this writing, Sunday morning the 9th of November, we are unable to get an answer on the duration or cause of our particular outage caused by the ISP. When internet is restored, the station will come up and operate as normal on it's own […]
