Yeah, I'm kind of surprised the super-power GR FM's didn't rate a mention but WCMU was included, since WCMU doesn't have all that great a signal in Lansing (likely didn't even before 89.7 came on). If they were going to include WCMU, they could have also included 96.1 WHNN, 102.5 (then) WGER, 107.9 (then) WGMZ, to name a few.
