It' a Wednesday morning. Ionia escaped the REALLY bad weather that went south of us including tornadoes and other damage that rolled through Michigan last night. WION put the tornado WATCH on the air instantly. It's what we do. We've done the BEST we can for nearly 20 years to cover weather for anyone who has the "radio" as their companion and may not have access to the 'net whether […]

-From Jim Carlyle's Personal Facebook Page... On Monday, March 11th, and with an extremely heavy and breaking heart, I witnessed Isabelle returning to her maker in the presence of two of her favorite uncles. I held Isabele's head, and two of her favorite uncles, including the one who saved her were petting her as she slipped away from us to her maker. I had less than three years with Isabelle, […]
