At least some parts of Western Michigan University's main campus lost power Thursday. The outage knocked WMUK's main channel, 102.1 FM off the air, as well as the classical service, 89.9 FM. It happened shortly after 9 am.
WMUK is working to restore service as quickly as possible.
At 9:39 am WMU sent an alert to the campus community that "except for essential services, all Kalamazoo campuses are closed and classes are cancelled today." A recorded telephone message said the closure was due to the power outage.
WMU has more details about what is open and closed, cancelled and proceeding here.
WMU's campus is not the only area facing an outage. As of 10:35 am, Consumers Energy indicated that six percent of Kalamazoo County customers were without power. Nearly a third of Van Buren County Consumers customers lacked power. Northern Michigan saw major widespread outages after storms earlier this week, and many people there still do not have electricity.
This story will be updated as the station gathers more information.
