The sound of the state

Michigan claims one of the first commercial radio broadcasts: station 8MK, now WWJ, went on air from The Detroit News in August 1920. Detroit went on to give the world Motown and techno. Detroit radio, Motown radio and techno radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Most of Michigan keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer; four Upper Peninsula counties on the Wisconsin border use Central time.

A route in
