Yes, Amicia Ramsey was released after less than 2 weeks on the air.

Wow. Didn't realize it was that quick. Thanks for the info. I'm out of the Lansing market now but I try to keep track of comings and goings via Facebook posts and the website.

Is Mallory Anderson solo again on WILX mornings? I know Lansing is a revolving door of talent, but this was a super quick one (like a handful of weeks). WILX introduced Amicia Ramsey as a morning co-anchor with Mallory on May 11, but today I noticed she was gone from the WILX website. She hasn't pos...

He's BAAAACCKKK!!!

Seems Caleb Meute's departure left an opening for Darrin Rockcole to return to WILX on a freelance basis.

In the 5 years I've lived in Kalamazoo, I'm not sure that I've ever watched her on WZZM, but I do follow her on social media from when I did watch her on WILX and Fox 47 when I lived in Jackson. I always thought she did a good job in Lansing and enjoyed her posts from West Michigan on social media. ...

I'll miss her when I'm in the Jackson area. I remember when she was on WILX the first time (before she went to Flint and came back to Lansing). She seemed so nervous, but by the time she came back after being in Flint for a while, she was so good! She's my family's favorite. Since she moved to morni...

Those are not bad selections, frankly.

I agree. I've quite enjoyed these somewhat forgotten hits popping up on my drives. I took a look at their playlist and they seem to rotate quite a few of these throwbacks into their rotation.

I'm generally a pop station listener in Kalamazoo (usually stick with WKFR, Star 105.7, and now 96.5). Lately, I've been tuning into the new 96.5 pretty regularly because they seem to have way fewer commercials than the other stations. After a few weeks of listening, I'm at a loss as to what format ...

Sarah Swistak has been off the air for months with health issues and the birth of her daughter. I don't know that she ever got to host an episode of "Studio 10" on WILX, which was supposed to be "her show." (She was listed as co-host and EP.) Today, I noticed she has been removed from the WILX websi...

Maybe it was just bad timing, but I'm surprised they didn't just move Julie Williams from the Fox 47 morning show to the WILX morning show. Would've been able to fill the open position immediately and not have to hire someone brand new to the station.

About an hour ago, WSYM put out a post on their Facebook page encouraging people to follow their new reporters' pages. That went over about as well as expected... out of the dozen or so comments, not one is positive.

There are currently 8 posts on Fox 47's Facebook page complaining about the new format. They've only responded to one of them with this... Good morning and thank you for writing. First and foremost, thank you for watching FOX 47 News and for being a loyal viewer! As you noted, we have a very differe...

Julie Williams (Fox 47's former morning anchor) weighed in yesterday on Facebook. It seems sarcastic and I hope it is because that's the level of snark I need. If she really does think it's SUPER exciting, she and I will agree to disagree. hahaha https://www.facebook.com/JulieWilliamsJournalist/post...

WILX making it clear that the new Fox 47 News isn't their doing: https://www.wilx.com/2021/01/05/wilx-no ... newscasts/

Any news on the news team they've assembled? Who (if anyone) from WILX is moving to the new Fox 47 News? The main anchors will likely make the switch, but what about the meteorologists? Ever since Darrin Rockcole's departure from WILX, the meteorologists have been crossing over so much it's hard to...

Wow! That's coming up quick. Interesting that they're moving their evening news back to 5:30. I assume that was a good timeslot for them before, but at the time, 6 and 10 didn't have newscasts at 5:30. Now they both do, so we'll see how Fox can do when competing with the other local stations. Prett...
