WITL-FM (100.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Lansing, Michigan, and serving Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties in Michigan.
The Transmitter is located off Pine tree road in Lansing, near the interchange of I-96 and US-127.
It first began broadcasting on June 26, 1961 alongside daytime only station WMRT (AM).[3] The stations were purchased by Mid-West Family Broadcasting for $187,000 in 1964 and took the WITL and WITL-FM call sign in 1966, and adopted a full-time country music format in 1967. Originally, WITL-FM was simulcast with (now defunct) WITL (AM) at 1010 kHz. The AM station went silent in 1997.[4] It is currently owned and operated by Townsquare Media. Notable station alumni include author and former ABC News correspondent Tim O'Brien and progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann.
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare would acquire 53 Cumulus Media stations, including WITL-FM, for $238 million. The deal was part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global were both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management.[5][6] The transaction was consummated effective November 14, 2013.
After moving to new studios and offices shared with co-owned stations,[7] the original 'white house' studios and offices were torn down in 2017.[8]
WITL-FM is licensed for HD Radio operations. Its HD2 feed features the Olivet Nazarene University-owned "Shine.FM" Contemporary Christian music format originating at WONU in Kankakee, Illinois with local imaging, feeding ONU-owned analog translator W237BY 95.3 FM licensed to Mason with transmitter in downtown Lansing. Its HD3 signal airs Christian music from Air1.
