Just before I moved to the Kalamazoo area in 2016, he was doing mornings on K105.3 (WKHM-FM) in Jackson. At that time, it was "Craig Russell and the Morning Hustle."

On August 10, News 10 and Fox 47 News are combining. They posted a video on their Facebook page advertising it. "Your favorite faces on both stations." There are some good throwbacks of Darrin Rockcole and Andy Provenzano thrown in there. They linked to a list of changes to the schedule on both ...

I say this same thing when I switch over to Star 105.7 during the Christmas season. I tune in to hear Christmas music and spend nearly 10 of my 15 minute drive home from work listening to commercials.

I'm in Jackson for the week and tuned into News 10 at 6. One story about a data center in Mason was clearly a Fox 47 piece that WILX just plopped into their newscast. David Andrews referred to the reporter as "News 10's (name)" before throwing to the pre-taped package that began with the typical ...

Studio expansion incoming. https://www.wilx.com/2026/06/03/gray-media-lansing-sets-groundbreaking-studio-newscast-expansion/ No details about what the on-air product will look like for Fox 47, but it does say they're "uniting teams under the News 10 brand." I would assume that means it will be ...

From a local news standpoint, thank God it's Gray acquiring WSYM and not Scripps acquiring WILX. They can finally put that shit newscast on 47 down and revert back to 10 producing the 10:00. This was my first thought, too. Nothing against the people doing their best with what management at Fox 47 ...

I actually liked the Hits 96.5 format. It was mostly current pop but they also mixed in hits from as far back as the 90s to give this millennial some nostalgia. It didn't hurt that they also played fewer commercials than other stations. I guess it's back to KFR for me.

With her departure, I believe that puts the average age of the WLNS on-air team at 19.6. HAHA! It's funny because it's true. :lol: It's still probably older than the mess on Fox 47. On the other hand, WILX's entire evening crew is the old guard, all of whom worked at 6 before jumping over to WILX ...

Looks like after adding several newscasts over the couple years, WILX is scaling back. They're eliminating their 11AM newscast and their "First at 4" PM newscast. Info: https://www.wilx.com/2024/11/08/important-programming-update-news-10-viewers/ Anchor Taylor Gattoni posted this update on Facebook ...

I was watching 20/20 on WLAJ (using Xfinity) and when the 11:00PM newscast started, I noticed it wasn't the WLNS simulcast. It was WSB news from Atlanta. Huh? I'm so confused.

Breaking Update: As I type this at 11:10, it flipped to WLNS news. HAHA! What is going on?

Well, WWMT recently added a third news reporter (Carter Landis) so it was only a matter of time before one of the old ones left. Today Allie Jennerjahn posted that she'll be done at channel 3 on March 17 and is heading to Denver. She's also been the weekend morning anchor for a while so I guess ...

Is Ms. JennerJohn WWMT's only dedicated field-assigned reporter at this point? Or does she also do some anchoring? Autumn Pitchure is also there as a reporter. But I've seen both of them anchor on the weekends... unless they can't... in which case they pull one of the lead weekday anchors into the ...

Andy Pepper does a sports segment once or twice a week and it's rarely local. I'm pretty sure I've said this before on here, but I laugh every time I see the "You're watching Newschannel 3 with...." bumper and they get to Andy Pepper. They give him credit in the bumper every day, but if he's on ...

WWMT is running ads for ARC (though they never mention that it's on 3.2). Apparently ARC stands for "Authentic, Relevant, Community."

Yeah, okay....

That takes their total number of news reporters down to... 2.

Five hours of news each weekday with only 2 local reporters. Yikes. (And those reporters are weekend anchors so they're not working every day M-F.)
