WMUK

On WestSouthwest, the growth of people living in downtown Kalamazoo. And we talk football as Western Michigan prepares for the Bahamas Bowl on Thursday.

  

Encore Magazine recently featured two stories on living in downtown Kalamazoo. Writer Andrew Domino chronicles developers' efforts to make downtown more friendly for people who want to live there. Brian Lam wrote about his family's decision to move downtown. They both talked with WMUK's Gordon Evans.

Western Michigan University is playing in a post-football season bowl game for the second straight season. The Bahamas Bowl on Thursday will mark the first time in school history that the Broncos have appeared in  bowl games in consecutive years. Kalamazoo Gazette Reporter David Drew joins us to discuss Western's football season, and prospects for earning the first bowl win in program history.  

Gordon Evans became WMUK's Content Director in 2019 after more than 20 years as an anchor, host and reporter. A 1990 graduate of Michigan State, he began work at WMUK in 1996.
