Everywhere you go..."the weather" is the topic these days.
Michigan is FINALLY getting a winter worthy of our position in the upper Midwest, and those of us "of a certain age" remember winters like this, while those younger are amazed, amused, and wondering how many days they'll have to "make up" at the end of the school year.
The radio station has kept me busy...and, because of that, I've dropped the ball on writing here more often. I hope that in the near future, we can at least update this blog and visit once a week.
Bob Flynn was our guest co-host on the morning show on Friday the 31st of January, and was so much fun that we ran the show an extra hour. Bob has become known to WION listeners and our county as the host of our many interviews each year at the Ionia Chamber Expo. (This year on March 15th.) Bob's a great host, and also drives a great distance to be our guest announcer at expo. His Friday visit was a fun chance for you, our listeners to get reacquainted with him!
We'll continue throughout winter with our regular visits from co-hosts including Penny Beeman with the IM KIDS FEEDING PROGRAM to provide the 3rd meal for young students who may not otherwise get it! She's my Wednesday morning co-host. We also welcome our Ionia DDA Director Linda Curtis the first Tuesday of each month. On the schedule are visits from some of our interesting listening businesses, their owners, and more! Tuesdays (weather and schedule permitting) we have Bill Lynch as co-host, and our Friday Round Table show continues as well!
I'm curious as I finish writing these morning show random thoughts, (and per a discussion we had on the air...) Is it now true that the new "old" is if you're a person who can remember the famous Michigan "Blizzard of '78?" I was in upper middle school then, and can remember them sending us home from school halfway through a day, and having (at least) one full week off school! My how things have changed. Walking home, (no kidding here) we were in nearly knee-deep snow. I had a paper route then for the Jackson Citizen Patriot, and we didn't even get the bundles delivered to us as carriers for over a week, as the drivers couldn't get from Jackson to Addison! Yes, I remember it well, but I'm not even 50 years old (yet)...does it really make those of us who remember that storm "the new old?" I hope not! I also don't believe for a minute that the weather we have been getting since Christmas is anywhere NEAR as bad as 1978 was! Sure we have some ice and lots of drifting, but today's public closings come more from a "CYA" aspect then a genuine need to close in my humble opinion! We're such a 'blame everyone else' society that we don't dare take a chance. No, I'm not saying schools SHOULD have been open in the past six weeks, but in my memory, back in "the good ol days" we seemed to attend more (school) in snowy weather, and cancel less.
Perhaps we were more prepared back then, since this degree of weather severity has not occurred in many a year. That may explain it.
In any case, snow doesn't stop the morning show, we hope you're enjoying tuning-in, and...I promise...I'll try to update this blog more often. it's always my pleasure to write, (whether I have one reader or tons...doesn't matter)...and, we always welcome your ears to the show, and your keyboard to respond!
See you on the morning show! (which I'd still like to rename)....

AN "INTERNATIONAL" MORNING" AT WION RADIO
It started just like any other morning for the Friday "round table" show. Coffee, yawns, a few songs, and the usual cast of characters logging onto our AM stereo webstream. CBS news, weather, the usual elements that make a morning routine on AM stereo 1430.
Then, came the magic. One international listener. Then another. Before we knew it, the board had a handful of very INTERESTING areas listening. One had to wonder why. (L) It's happened before, (R) but in the world there are literally MILLIONS of choices in audio entertainment! We're always happy to be chosen!
But this morning was different. Before our show was over, we had interaction! E-mails from
We made some friends this morning, some from far away
countries and locations! But, the one thing that we all had in common was
a love of RADIO. The kind of radio that WION delivers. Local, Interesting,
sometimes corny, many times odd, but definitely UNIQUE. To US it was a
normal morning. To one of our listeners to the stream, it was their dose of
healthy laughter. (I was once told that two people in the same seats, doing
NOTHING, but one honestly laughing from deep down compared will find the
laughing one gets 11 times the exercise of the other, and is healthier)
One line from the chat-room today said, "I don't think I've laughed
this much to radio before" which is a huge compliment to us. In-between
discussing "B" movies which will be more discussed NEXT Friday, the
conversation went to how the internet has really made the world a
smaller place. If we'd had it in the library of our computer (not to mention
the proper music licensing, what a pain in the royal donkey THOSE people are)
we were just corny and campy enough to have played Disney's "It's a
small world"...but.....we didn't.
Is it earth-shattering that we had far away listeners?
NO. Is it going to bring those people to Ionia
to buy from our advertisers? Probably not. But, is WION putting MY
town on the map in a GOOD WAY
this week? Definitely!
We're just a small, average bedroom community. We don't have
the world's largest Fork in the road, or the world's longest breakfast table,
or the world's ANYTHING that I'm aware of. But, we do have ourselves. A nice
town, seat to a nice county in Michigan , USA . And,
if WION is seen by the larger world as having a very unique radio station which
chooses to perpetuate the INCREDIBLE sound of AM stereo, and it
spreads via internet chat rooms, I guess WION is doing it's
job as an ambassador to it's city of license.
I found it personally exciting to be in communication with
people around the world who were literally "tuned-in" to us via a
real AM stereo receiver feeding our web-stream and apps. It's a huge
contrast to the days when WION could not be heard on low power south of it's
own town's Main Street .
So, has today's tech-savvy world changed radio for the BETTER?
Absolutely! Even one of our callers said "Good Morning"
to HER "international audience" on our station. (she's a regular caller.)
Our example in this writing is not a case of "all eyes are on Ionia " as it was recently as when differences between people accelerate to violence and the BIG media comes to make us look bad from ONE isolated incident (which is about
the only time they come to town)....but instead, we have a case of the "little media" that makes
our little town look GOOD in the world, and to those who enjoy GREAT radio.
I'd rather have it that way ANY day.
And that's OUR news of the week.
Join us next week as we talk "B" movies for October and Halloween!

WION'S BUSIER THAN EVER AS FALL ARRIVES!
(there's many links highlighted in this blog....hope you'll check 'em out!)
We're close to "Autumn."
As we enter this season of "back to school", there's SO many things going on with WION it's hard to tell you all of them!
We continue with our regular Morning show cohosts! On Tuesdays we have various guests and co-host Bill Lynch! Wednesdays each week, Penny brings you local events and volunteer information, Thursdays it's Bart Lower from Danny Boy's Drive-in theater! (and of course, Fridays...."anything goes!")
We've teamed with the Ionia DDA, and every business (club, organization, or even CHURCH) in the district is eligible to have 3 months of advertising on WION doubled at no extra charge from our select list of packages! This is NO joke. Let's say, for instance your business buys our very popular package of $239/month for 32 spots. You'll actually get DOUBLE that amount, if you're an Ionia DDA member....64 spots, a $358 value, because the Ionia DDA is paying for the extra $119.50! There's plenty of options in our usual packages, and this comes at a PERFECT time to run in September, October, and November, or...October, November December to hit the holiday audience! Get details by calling WION anytime at 616-527-9466, or your account rep of Dan Ferguson or Bill Lynch! This is a GREAT offer! Read the letter from the DDA and call today!
Another Autumn event coming soon is "Fallfest" at Bertha Brock park. This is a favorite place of WION owner Jim Carlyle, and many other folks, too. For the third year in a row, your business can advertise on WION, inviting people to fallfest on Saturday September 21st and...for every package we sell, $50 goes to the Bertha Brock Park Improvement Fund! Your investment? Only $185 if paid in advance, $199 if billed, and you get 32 commercials in the two weeks preceding Fallfest!
We're also going to offer the same GREAT package as we do at Fallfest for another of our autumn favorite events, the "Chili Dawg Challenge" in downtown Ionia! $50 from each of these packages (again, $185 or $199) will go to Big Brothers/Big Sisters! We've done this for a number of years as well, and feel strongly about helping BBBS fund their very worthy program!
You see, WION values community. We don't just say it, we mean it! We give back! And, if you're interested in both packages, buy 'em together for just $350! We work with you to customize your announcement, combining your offers and the promotion of Fallfest or Chili Dawg Challenge!
Then, there's new programming! We've brought you Barry Scott's "Lost 45's" program on Saturday nights now for quite some time....and, beginning Monday the 26th of August, we've got a real daily treat for you! It's the daily "Lost 45!" Tune in just after the 8AM news for Barry Scott with a daily artist interview and related song! It's something you won't want to miss, and it's ONLY on WION!
You're going to want to get WION's app if you haven't already! Visit Google Play and I-tunes, and search "WION" to get our app! It's absolutely free, and the best part is we don't dig into your privacy. Our app doesn't read your address book, your internet history, NOTHING. All we know when you listen is what internet service provider to which you're connected, nothing more! Once you have our app, you can listen anywhere! Pair your phone to newer car stereos with bluetooth and hear WION's music, and our GREAT sponsor's offerings anywhere you travel! For even MORE options, you can download the "TuneIN radio" app and choose our higher quality 128k stream! No matter which stream app you choose (48k or 128k)...you'll love our sound!
And, please...if you haven't done so, use our "call me" button...or, go to our "voicemail page" and directly dial our "LISTENER COMMENT LINE" anytime. We WANT to hear from you, and your opinions and voice may just be "on the air" with us! Please let us know what you like about WION.....about our streaming sound quality, programming....whatever! Your opinion counts!
Autumn truly IS a busy time at WION...and we hope you'll listen, be part of the fun, and tell your favorite business you want to hear them advertising on our growing, fun, exciting radio station!
Oh, and one last thing.....who's listening on the stream? Visit our ONLINE LISTENER MAP....you'll see just how FAR WION reaches........and, especially in Michigan....as WION helps put Ionia on the map!

Don't Miss this week on the morning show....
Sorry, it's been awhile. As you may recall, we simulcast a few mornings with Jim Aaron while I was away working on engineering, and when my voice was "less than acceptable" for air. See? I really DON'T want to torture you! Then came the freefair, and busy days there, too.
Now we're into August. The "Dog Days" of summer, they're sometimes called. And, from our air conditioned studios, please join us this week for:

We'll have a great question! Plan to join us!
Thursday: It's a "Danny Boy's Drive-in" Thursday, with great conversation from our lively and fun co-host Bart Lower of Danny Boy's! You never know where the "movie conversation" may take us....and, someone always wins a family 4-pack from Danny Boy's, also known as the "Leave your wallet at Home" package, and WION's the ONLY place to win it!

THERE ARE NO LOSERS....in this contest!
It's Wednesday, July 10th, and I've just finished one of the busiest morning shows I've had in ages!
Penny, my Wednesday co-host (We're unique at WION having different co-hosts each day) who is deeply involved in many charity organizations in Ionia county just left the building, and we're both quite happy...
It's become a tradition to pit the morning show at WION against the afternoon show in some charity fund-raising events, one being the annual "Relay for Life." This year, with no jumpstart from any other source, WION raised $811, most of it today on the show.
The final total was $406 for the afternoon show, and $405 for morning, and the fun REALLY came when we had Ionia Mayor Dan Balice on the air donating, and conference-connected with our afternoon host Garry Osborn. I'm not sure they had ever had the pleasure of meeting, but it was fun to have them chatting on WION. Then there's those who defect to the "dark side." Our occasional morning co-host known as "Leftlane" even bid against my show, but for a great cause; putting Garry in the lead he kept to the end of the show and the end of our friendly contest.
Along the way, WION had support from a GREAT online community, my favorite website, "satelliteguys.us" and some of its members who will also be showing support during the event this weekend as the actual relay is held at Ionia High School. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have connections with a group such as the membership at Satelliteguys.us, as they've helped put WION and my town of Ionia on the map! What's really remarkable is that we get support for local causes from them while their donating membership is from all across the United States and the world! A huge thank you to Scott G. who runs that site, and my deepest respect for the polite and human manner in which this site is operated. It's polite, friendly, helpful, and fun as well! Think about it....how many times does a small town like Ionia get a chance to be connected by radio with a world-known website like this, and enjoy a great partnership?
Our little radio station has collected over eight hundred dollars just today for a cause that we all have been touched-by. Cancer. It hits home for most everyone who knows a friend or family member that has battled, is-battling, or has lost their battle with cancer. Our little station has helped raise enthusiasm for the event, and has brought additional awareness to it. We're trying to make a difference, and with your help, we have. And, this is just one cause we feel is important to support at the local level.
As I approach 25 years behind the microphone I sometimes ask myself, "why am I HERE?" I never had a plan for where my radio career would take me. I knew nothing about Ionia 9 years ago when we were finishing up the details for the purchase of WION. I didn't even enter broadcasting with the intent to own a radio station. I started-out just glad to be on the air as an announcer. Then later, I began my search for a radio home out west in Colorado with the hopes of working and retiring there. I still don't have an answer to "why" I landed in Ionia, but, morning shows like the one we just finished, and the contribution WION makes back to its community all through the year keeps sending me the same message......
"It's good to be here...on the air....working with good people......and making a difference in Ionia County."
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort, and to those who help us help others year-round.

THIS WEEK ON WION...
It's another new week! Exciting times in Ionia as we get closer to the "Summer in the City Celebration" this weekend. (June 20-22nd.) By all indications on their facebook page, the amount of involved booths, events, and organizations has grown immensely since the announcement of the celebration! We hope you can take it in!
We're now a month from the Ionia Freefair and you'll begin hearing about that on WION as well! As we get closer, look for more information on the air and online, too!
This Wednesday we'll have a fresh, new wake up call, and give away our usual burger of the week from the Lamplight Grill, a large 2-item pizza from Northside Party Store & Deli, and maybe more! Don't miss the question! (Long distance listeners on the web get a $10 gift certificate from Amazon dot com.)
Thursday, we'll welcome Bart Lower for another fun visit as he co-hosts the morning show, and gives away another Family 4-pack of tickets to Danny Boy's Drive In! And, I have to tell you, Danny Boy's does it right! If you win from WION, you can literally leave your wallet at home (if you're not the driver, of course....)...they'll take great care of you, and nobody will be hungry while enjoying the movie! Visit Danny Boy's on the web today and learn more, or on their facebook page!
Friday....we may be simulcasting our Greenville station with Jim Aaron, details have not been firmed-up regarding whether Jim Carlyle will be "in" .....but if we do, you'll enjoy a different morning show!
Much more to come as the week progresses, keep listening!

If you prefer to dial yourself, follow the link on our main page to get the number and let your "fingers do the walking."
And, of course, our custom Facebook link will take you right to the FB page for WION, the station. For Advertising, Bill Lynch maintains a WION Advertising Facebook page as well, which he also uses on Tuesday mornings and Fridays when he co-hosts the show!
We hope to hear from you, please stop by the website, don't forget to get our apps and try WION "on the go" this summer!
Oh, and we'll be working closely all summer with Danny Boys' Drive-in theater (now open in Ionia!) ...listen for updates beginning Thursday mornings on WION, and chances to win passes! It should be a FUN summer in Ionia with this GREAT new business, which is generating excitement all over the area and well beyond!
