Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's get you updated for your Wednesday. The news you
need to start your day. It's the West Michigan Wake
Up powered by Minards on Star one oh five point seven.
All right, let's start with something we would never do
at iHeartRadio Police or warning of a scam that involves
someone falsely claiming they're from a radio station and asking

(00:20):
for payment. Michigan State Police have issued the warning. So far,
it has only happened in the Kalamazoo area. The person
in question asking for payment in exchange for an on
air promotion. Leaders at a few businesses that were up
became suspicious when this supposed station set a Veterans Day
spot when are in December instead of November when Veterans

(00:43):
Day actually falls. The MSP writing and a release. If
you are contacted by anyone stating there from a radio station,
be advised take appropriate steps. Never share personal information unless
you can verify the identity of the person contacting you. Again,
we would never ask for payment without giving you proper

(01:03):
identification here at iHeart. The Michigan Department of Transportation is
holding a public hearing today unproposed rules that would prohibit
overnight camping and extended stays at highway rest stops. The
rules that were proposed earlier this year define camping as
setting up tents, canopies, or shelters or parking and occupying enclosed,

(01:25):
self contained camping units. This would ban both activities at
all m DOT road side facilities. It would also limit
vehicle parking to just forty eight hours at rest areas,
carpool lots, and other highway motorist service areas. According to
the proposal, these facilities are intended for short term visits

(01:47):
or emergency use by motorists so they may resume travel
in greater comfort and safety. Again, the big hearing is today.
US Vice President JD. Vance, along with a special envoy,
gave a lot of optimistic feeling about Gaza's very fragile
ceasefire agreement, calling progress better than anticipated. While they visited

(02:07):
a new center in Israel for civilian and military cooperation yesterday.
Vance did know flare ups of violence lately, but said
the ceasefire is going better than expected after two years
of war between Israel and Hamas. Vance downplaying the idea
that his visit was urgently arranged to keep the ceasefire

(02:28):
in place, saying he feels confident that we're going to
be in a place where this peace lasts, but did
still warn if Hamas does not cooperate, it will be
quote unquote obliterated. All Right, taking a look at sports,
we've got big play in action tonight. We'll start with
our Detroit Red Wings traveling to Buffalo. You can hear
that on Talk twelve thirty am WTKG, and the NBA

(02:52):
has officially tipped off pistons head to Chicago eight o'clock
