MI Radio: Grand Haven Changes Formats On Two Stations

Grand Haven’s radio broadcasting group has flipped formats and radio hosts.

According to the Grand Haven Tribune, the company's Sports Radio WGHN 1370 AM and W235CM 94.9 FM has flipped to “Good Time Oldies”.  The station will continue to air sporting events.

The company’s WMPA 93.1 FM is changing format from country to classic rock. Longtime WGHN personality Jesse Bruce will be heard on 93.1 from 3-7 p.m.

The station has hired 19-year radio veteran Mary Ellen Murphy. Murphy began her career in the Detroit market in the 1990s, and has more recently worked for WOOD-FM and WLAV-FM in Grand Rapids and WHTC-AM in Holland.

“She is an iconic voice in West Michigan radio and, more importantly, a wonderful person,” Bruce said. “What she brings to this radio station will not only enlighten your day, but improve this community. ... For this station to land the talent and character of Mary Ellen Murphy is one of the highlights of this organization's 60-plus year history.”

Bruce said he's also happy to be continuing the partnership with Program Director Jeff Rose.

“He is a tremendous talent and the backbone down here,” Bruce said. “We've worked together for several years successfully producing high school sports broadcasts and we will be successful at 93.1 WMPA.”

“Jeff Rose and I are music nerds and can give listeners a unique perspective on the music,” he said. “Plus, it's like we are making a new history at 93.1 WMPA. This place is a blank canvas and we think we can paint some unique pictures here.”
