• 1/5/2011: At noon, FM 106.9 drops simulcast and country format is now on 107.9 only, still as '107 Mus' as it was on 106.9.
• 12/13/2010: After it's announced that the country format of WMUS FM will be moving from 106.9 to 107.9 after a period of simulcasting on both frequencies, FM 107.9 does indeed begin simulcast after stunting for a short while inviting listeners to turn to FM 105.7 to hear Grand Rapids' similarly formatted WSRW-FM. Simulcast with FM 106.9 is expected to end in January 2011 when FM 106.9 will change format to news/talk as simulcast of WOOD AM 1300 Grand Rapids.
