You're probably aware that we've been working hard for the past couple of years to stay ahead of rapid changes in the radio landscape.

I'm writing now to ask for your opinion.

Our goal is to continue to provide the news & information you want the way that you want it, so I'm inviting you to share your opinions about technology in our annual survey.

You are invited to participate and tell us how you use your conventional radio, Facebook, iPods, smartphones, tablets, streaming and the Web to stay connected to entertainment, news, and updates from Michigan Radio and other sources.

Whether you use all these devices/platforms or not, we value your opinion.

Your responses will be kept completely confidential, and we will never share your personal information with anyone. We'll only use the information you provide to enhance our service.

Just click the link below to participate in the survey. It’s a fairly long survey, but your input is important to help us determine where to allocate resources.

Thanks in advance for your time and for your support of Michigan Radio.

Please be aware that the survey is comprehensive and may take as long as 15 minutes to complete.  We need this information in order to better serve our listeners.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Update 4:30 p.m.

WFUM is back on the air. We'll continue to watch the signal.

2:58 p.m.

Our Flint signal, WFUM 91.1 FM is off the air due to a power loss. We are working on the problem and will keep you updated on our progress.

The tower carrying our WFUM signal is undergoing maintenance today. WFUM signal outages are expected throughout the day.

We're making some changes to our program schedule starting this weekend. Beginning on Saturday, "The Moth Radio Hour" will move to its new time at noon. While "Ask Me Another" is an exciting new offering from NPR, we heard from many of you that noon wasn’t the right time slot for this new show, it will now air Saturdays at 4pm.

Our 91.1 FM signal out of Flint will be off the air after 10 am this morning while workers repair a beacon.  The signal will be powered back up once the work is complete. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Michigan Radio has been awarded a major three-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to report on the many issues related to childhood poverty. The $995,000 grant, the largest in the station’s history, will allow Michigan Radio to move beyond traditional radio reporting to reach a wide variety of audiences about the plight facing Michigan’s most vulnerable children.

Starting at 11 a.m. this morning, Michigan Radio's WFUM signal, 91.1 FM in Flint, will experience some outages throughout the morning and afternoon. The tower in Flint is undergoing maintenance.

Attention Michigan Radio news e-mail subscribers:

In the last two days we have experienced technical difficulties with our daily news e-mail.

We have been editing story tags in some of our older stories which has resulted in a database error.

These older stories were re-entered into the database as new stories.

We regret the problem and apologize for any confusion it may have caused. We're working to resolve the issue.

Thanks for your patience!

Since yesterday morning, we've been experiencing intermittent problems with our website.

NPR Digital is working on the problem and hopes to have them resolved soon.

In the meantime, if you're trying to to make a year-end pledge to the station and having difficulty connecting online, please call our pledge line at 888-258-9866.

Thank you for your patience.
