WLEW

'WLEW' and 'WLEW-FM' are a pair of radio stations in Bad Axe, Michigan, serving the Thumb area of Michigan. Both stations are owned by Thumb Broadcasting and broadcast from studios on South Van Dyke Road in Bad Axe. Unusually for small-town radio stations, both WLEW-AM and WLEW-FM are locally programmed and do not rely on satellite feeds for any of their music programming. Both stations feature a local roster of disc jockeys and news from CNN Radio.
WLEW broadcasts at 1340 kHz AM and airs a country format. The 1,000-watt station goes by the nickname "The Thumb's Hottest Country."
WLEW-FM, known as "Cruise 102.1" ("The Thumb's Power Station"), broadcasts at 102.1 MHz FM with 50,000 watts of power. The station's adult hits format is a combination of classic rock and adult contemporary titles from the 1960s through the present. WLEW-FM was formerly a 3,000-watt easy listening music station at 92.1 until it changed frequencies and boosted its power in the late 1980s (with WIDL in Caro, which had been at 104.9, taking the 92.1 frequency). The station can be heard as far south as Lapeer and as far north as Mio, though its area of strongest coverage includes most of Michigan's Thumb and extends across Saginaw Bay to the Tawas City area.
