Kankakee Valley Broadcasting's Soft AC/WYMR (98.3fm, Culver) flips to all holiday music.

This morning, Federated Media's WTRC-FM (95.3fm, Niles, Michigan) adds the Classic Rock format of WAOR to an HD2 signal. WAOR was a longtime classic rock station on 95.3fm. In 2010, 95.3fm became the N/T WTRC-FM, and the WAOR format and call letters moved to Talking Stick Communications' 95.7fm, Nappanee frequency. Talking Stick sold the 95.7fm frequency in 2014.

Jim Mackey joins Federated Media's Country/WBYT (100.7fm, Elkhart) in mornings, alongside Deb Miles. Mr. Mackey last hosted mornings (and APD/MD) at WFYR-FM in Peoria, Illinois.

In mid-2013, Lori Wilson joined LIN Media at what was then their CBS affiliate WISH-TV (Channel 8, Indianapolis). Ms. Wilson arrived in the capital city from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's WCAU-TV. In 2015, WISH-TV lost their CBS affiliation to Tribune Broadcasting's WTTV-TV (Channel 4, Bloomington). On Friday, Ms. Wilson will anchor her last 5pm, 6pm and 11pm newscasts, and then exit WISH-TV for Atlanta, Georgia. There, Ms. Wilson will join WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia as a weekend evening anchor in January 2017.

Metropolitan Indianapolis Public Broadcasting's N-T/WFYI-FM (90.1fm, Indianapolis) adds Andy Klotz as Director of Marketing and Promotions. Before joining WFYI, he worked for Angie's List (Media Relations Manager) and enjoyed a lengthy tenure in PR with the Indiana State Fair.
