Mystery AOR WIMP 1420 kHz Michigan Station 02:40 - 03:00 UTC.
« on: January 23, 2026, 1736 UTC »
On drives home, I've been hearing a rocker on 1420AM, but could never catch a Promo, Lingo, or ID, on it. Last night, heard Amboy Dukes, George Thuroughgood And The Delaware Destroyers, Scorpions, Kings Of Leon, then finally an ID that sounded like 1420-, WIMP, Michigan Station. Well, doing a search for that on Radio Locator lead to nothing. So, has anyone else ever heard this?

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Maybe have an answer for you.....WIMS is on 1420 am in MICHIGAN City, Indiana.  If you check their schedule, they seem to play classic hits during PM rush hour, 5,000 watts.  https://wimsradio.com/shows-schedule/
