Turning 50 is more fun when there are lots of others around you sharing the same milestone.

This past weekend, members of our West Michigan media team—on the road for the holiday—were treated to Lansing-area radio station WFMK-FM’s special 50th anniversary programming. As we are busy preparing for our own 50th anniversary celebrations, it was a welcome diversion to hear how the station chose to honor their own birthday. Besides some clever contests with—you guessed it—50 winners, this particular weekend they took to the airwaves with random songs from 1959 to 2009, rather than their every day “lite rock” selection (with all due respect to fans of lite rock).

Happy birthday WFMK, from all of us here in Ada!

We have now archived both the “old” Amway Media Blog and the Alticor Media Blog, but of course we’ll still answer any questions on topics we previously covered.

Going forward, we will be able to relay the news that matters most at Amway through one voice, here at this site. Here’s the news of the day:
