Michiguide station listings was a great resource back in the day. ... I happened to meander during my web browsing to Michiguide.com, and have found that it's gone for good.

Ryan Cummings just announced on FB that he is moving from the 10&11 newcasts to mornings. No word yet who is taking Deanna's place. My guess would be Savannah or Ruta.
