Sanilac Broadcasting Company[edit]
WMIC and WTGV-FM are owned by Sanilac Broadcasting Company, of Sandusky. WMIC signed on at AM 1560 in 1968 and later changed to AM 660 in 1987.[1] WMIC has a focus on news/talk programming, with a heavy emphasis on local news and content. The station also airs a local classic country program on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon, as well as a long-running polka program on weekend afternoons.
WTGV began broadcasting in 1971 as WMIC-FM, and became WTGV in 1979. WTGV originally broadcast a beautiful music/easy listening format which has been updated over the years from mainstream soft adult contemporary until evolving into its current format: classic hits with a classic rock focus.
WMIC is the principal station for Sanilac/GB Broadcasting, and produces news reports for WTGV and WBGV. Sanilac Broadcasting's General Manager is Bob Armstrong. Its Assistant Manager is Nick Lien. WMIC & WTGV's Morning Show Host Eddie Fury also serves as the stations' Program Director.
Sanilac Broadcasting was founded by George Benko and Robert Benko, and it broadcasts from studios on South Elk Street in Downtown Sandusky. The stations serve the Thumb and Blue Water Area of Michigan, and WMIC's slogan is "The Thumb's Information Station", showing the station's commitment to local news. WMIC broadcasts with only 1,000 watts of power, but due to its low dial position, it can be heard easily in most of east-central and southeastern lower Michigan and southwestern Ontario.
GB Broadcasting Company[edit]
WBGV is a mainstream country station, owned by GB Broadcasting. GB's president is George Benko V, and Country 92.5 signed on in 1999.[2] WBGV is the only station completely owned by GB Broadcasting, and is licensed to the city of Marlette, Michigan
