101.7 Mike FM broadcasts out of studio at 600 W Cavanaugh Rd, Lansing, MI 48910 along with four other stations: WILS 1320, WQHH 96.5, and WXLA 1180. The afternoon host was doing his normal shift of 6 hours which is longer than I'm used to in the metro Detroit area.
Mike broadcasts at 4100 Watts with a Height Above Average Terrain(HAAT) of 121 meters.
"The station has gone through many different formats over the years. After beginning as a simulcast of WILS 1320 AM as WILS-FM in 1967, the station separated programming in the late 1960s with an automated MOR format (with the exception of the Jerry Marshall morning show, which was simulcast with WILS-AM from 6 to 10 a.m.). In 1972, WILS-FM launched an automated Country format which was branded as "Hit Country", although the morning simulcast continued. In 1975, WILS-FM abandoned the Country format in favor of a 12-hour daily simulcast with WILS-AM, followed by split programming in the evening, which included an AOR format from 6 p.m. to midnight, and a Jazz format from midnight to 6 a.m.. In 1978, WILS-FM abandoned the overnight Jazz and ended the simulcast with WILS-AM, programming the AOR format full time. The AOR format proved to be quite successful for the station, resulting in respectable ratings despite WILS-FM's 3KW signal. On September 13, 2005, WHZZ unexpectedly flipped to adult hits as "Mike FM". Two days after WHZZ's flip, the CHR format was picked up by WJIM-FM. -
