WMIC
WMIC is a full-service AM radio station in Sandusky, Michigan, broadcasting at 660 kHz on the AM dial.
WMIC features a country format throughout the week, with Rush Limbaugh weekday afternoons and a heavy commitment to local news and information. The station also airs a polka music show on Sunday afternoons and a classic-country music show weekday mornings.
WMIC is a 1,000 watt daytimer that signs off between sunset and sunrise to protect WFAN New York, which is a 50,000 watt clear channel status radio station. Due to its low position on the dial, WMIC's signal can be heard over a large chunk of eastern Michigan and southwestern Ontario, including in some northern suburbs of Detroit.
WMIC has two co-owned FM sister stations, Light and Easy Listening 97.7 WTGV and Country 92.5 WBGV; the stations are locally owned and operated by Sanilac Broadcasting.
WMIC went on the air at 1560 AM on June 27, 1968, and changed its frequency to the current 660 in 1987.
FM 97.7 (originally WMIC-FM) was added in 1971 and simulcast the AM programming until adopting a separate easy listening music format in 1977, becoming WTGV ("Thumb's Great Voice") in 1979. WTGV is chiefly automated and still separately programmed from WMIC (except for simulcasts of the AM station's news programming) with an adult contemporary format.
WBGV-FM signed on in 1999 and has aired a satellite-fed country music format from ABC Radio ("Coast-to-Coast Country," or "The Best Country Around") since.
