WNIC (100.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Dearborn, Michigan, and serving the Metro Detroit media market.
"Uncle" Russ Gibb was the WKNR-FM disc jockey who helped to spread the rumor that Paul McCartney was dead.
It was air personality Chris Randall who phoned WABC New York City DJ Roby Yonge.
WKNR-FM dropped its progressive rock format in 1971 to become "Stereo Island," a cross between Beautiful Music and Middle of the Road that could be described as an early form of what would be later be called Soft Adult Contemporary.
In 1976, WNIC adopted a more up-tempo sound called "Rock 'n' Easy", and moved to its current adult contemporary format.
The station's longtime evening request and dedication show "Pillow Talk" remained, and "Flashback Weekends" were added, featuring upbeat 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s music.
[6][7][8] In December 2011, WNIC began to backtrack on its format changes, reflected by the amended slogan "Variety From Today & Back In The Day".
