affiliations =WION (1430 AM, "I-1430") is a
radio station broadcasting what radio-industry people call "full service" (a mix of locally programmed Music, News, and Sports) format to theIonia, Michigan area. The coverage actually reaches well beyond Ionia County, especially to the North. There are updates at top and bottom of each hour fromCNN Radio as well as sports updates fromSporting News Radio . The station began broadcasting in 1953. The owners of WION kept the call letters which stand for "Ionia" and gave the station a new image with a logo, website, and consistent full-service programming. A federal construction permit has been issued to allow the station better daytime coverage in all directions, which will build a larger primary-coverage audience upon completion!Sources
