WMIC has two co-owned FM sister stations, Light and Easy Listening 97.7 WTGV-FM and Country 92.5 WBGV; the stations are locally owned and operated by Sanilac Broadcasting. Part of WMIC 660's success is mostly due to the large area the station covers. Although it broadcasts on only 1000 watts, WMIC can be easily heard from Bad Axe, Port Huron, Sterling Heights, and Lapeer - all within 60 miles from Sandusky, Michigan.
