Stephen Williams, WMUK's new general manager

On WestSouthwest, a rebroadcast of an interview with a former general manager. Plus we sit down with the man who just started the job.

WMUK is marking 65 years of broadcasting this year. Back in May, we sat down with former General Manager Garrard Macleod to discuss much of that history. 

In addition to celebrating a milestone, there have been major changes at the station this year. That includes a new general manager. We talk with Stephen Williams about how he came to WMUK.

Stephen says the station has to embrace new technology. He says stations like WMUK face a challenge because we really have "multiple formats," news, several different kinds of music etc. But Stephen says there is a way to make it work.

Gordon Evans became WMUK's Content Director in 2019 after more than 20 years as an anchor, host and reporter. A 1990 graduate of Michigan State, he began work at WMUK in 1996.
