WKAR
We’re WKAR — Michigan’s original storytellers.
We tell stories for the people of Michigan, about the people of Michigan — from the history that shaped our state and America to the music that fuels our road trips and bonfires, and the Big Ten moments that keep us talking long after the game. Our team of content creators sparks conversations that matter — thoughtful, curious, sometimes funny, always real. We’re part of Michigan State University, but our classroom is the whole state — where curiosity meets community. Because integrity still deserves a broadcast signal (and yes, a YouTube channel too).
🧡 💔 Federal cuts tried to quiet Michigan’s voice. But with your help, it won’t be silenced.
Help WKAR close the gap and keep local stories alive.
