radio

Here is the list of "Grand Rapids" radio. GR really has no radio that plays "college" music to the masses. It is kind of hit or miss. WCKS is low power campus AM about 15 miles west of the city. They have done some cool shows including booking Spiritualized, GBV and Outkast and if they play it you will get some people from campus to come. WAQU is low power campus AM and this one is right near the venue so you might draw from their campus. WYCE is high power FM covering the whole city, listener supported public radio. If they play it attendence will jump, but their format is varied and they play "rock, jazz, blues, folk, world beat". I've had the Lucksmiths, the Salteens, the Mabels play live on there but I've also been turned down and they are spotty with playing Drive-In stuff. WIDR is probably the coolest of the bunch, high power college radio, but an hour away in Kalamazoo. Still if they play it, people will come. And finally WDBM is high power Michigan State University student radio, an hour away. They tend to play the more commercial end of college radio and their specialty shows do get more adventurous. Again, if they play it people will come. Let me know if you have any questions or anything.
