WIMS is an AM Station broadcasting on 1420 kHz in Michigan City, Indiana, and serves the northwest Indiana listening area. Its format is primarily news, talk and sports. The station is currently owned by Gerard Media, LLC.[1]

WIMS has been broadcasting live from Michigan City since 1947, and most recently, is being run by Ric Federighi and his brothers of Gerard Media LLC.

Live local mornings return to the South Shore as Chicago radio personality Ric Federighi interviews newsmakers, takes local phone calls and provides area news and traffic information in-depth.

“Mornings with Ric Federighi” airs from 6 to 9am Monday through Friday and features open phone lines where callers take an active role in the show and have the opportunity to talk with some of the political and influential names in the area.

Paula Griffin airs live from the Michigan City Studios from 9am to noon.

Craig Koepke sits in with either Johnny Rush, Brian Brophy, or his brother Ryan every afternoon from 3 to 6pm

The station's format involves news twice an hour; traffic four times an hour; local sports twice an hour; local calls and entertainment throughout.

The rest of the schedule consists of a wide variety of syndicated programs, including Joy Browne, Lou Dobbs and more.

WIMS is an affiliate of the Grand Valley State Laker football radio network. [2]
