WLMI
WLMI (92.9 FM) is a radio station in the Lansing, Michigan market, broadcasting a classic hits format.
The station began broadcasting in 1965 as WCER-FM at 92.7 licensed to Charlotte, and is best known as the longtime home of one of the nation's pioneering classic rock radio stations, WMMQ (which now operates at 94.9).
After WMMQ moved to 94.9 FM in 1997, 92.7 became WVIC (94.9 was for many years WVIC-FM) and broadcast intermittently for the next several years. When it was on the air, WVIC aired fully automated classical music with no announcers and oddly placed legal station IDs, and with no commercials except for public-service announcements. Oddly, the station actually did show up in the Lansing Arbitron ratings during this time.
From 2001 to 2005, the station was WQTX, airing sports talk as "The Ticket." Shows such as "The Sports Page" with Jack Ebling and Tom Crawford (now at crosstown WILS), "The Sports Inferno" with Mike Valenti (now at WXYT, Sports Talk radio in Detroit), and "Mad Dog & Company" with David "The Mad Dog" DeMarco and longtime producer Brock Palmbos (now at crosstown WVFN) helped to push "The Ticket" ahead of crosstown rival, WVFN in the ratings.
