0%Michigan's Michelle McKormick's back! - Longtime Michigan radio pro Michelle McKormick has been wisely hired by iHeartMedia to do mornings on Classic Hits WBFX (BIG 101.3)/Grand Rapids and Classic Rock WMRR (Rock 101.7)/Muskegon, starting Monday, Oct. 19. McKormick, a Grand Rapids native and a four-decade veteran of West Michigan radio, had spent the past 15 years as morning co-host on Cumulus Classic Rock WLAV/Grand Rapids until her position was eliminated during the company's latest sizeable round of restructuring in late August. "Michelle is one of the most recognizable and beloved voices in West Michigan radio," said Tim Feagan, Regional President for iHeart Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Milwaukee and Madison in a statement. "Her authenticity, passion for the community, and ability to connect with listeners every morning made her a natural fit for BIG 101.3 and WMRR. We're thrilled to welcome her to the team." McKormick began her radio career at 19 at WGRD/Grand Rapids in 1983 while attending Central Michigan University. She later worked at WOOD-AM & WJRW-AM/Grand Rapids and WKRK/Detroit alongside Gregg Henson, followed by a stint at WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton, NJ before returning to Grand Rapids. "I'm so excited to be back on the air in my hometown and to join the iHeartMedia team," McKormick said. "West Michigan listeners have been incredible to me for decades, and I can't wait to wake them up again every morning on BIG 101.3 and WMRR. This feels like the right next chapter."
The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation partners with iHeartMedia to launch nationwide PSA to raise awareness of Supportive Cancer Care. New PSA is part of Biller Family Foundation's "Support Is Care" national awareness campaign. Seattle, WA, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation has partnered with iHeartMedia to launch a new public service announcement to raise awareness about Supportive Cancer Care and the critical role it plays in helping people with cancer and their caregivers navigate the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Broadcast nationwide on iHeartMedia radio stations, the PSA features testimonials from patients and family members who faced a cancer diagnosis and highlights the need to expand access to Supportive Cancer Care services. The new PSA is part of the Foundation's "Support Is Care" initiative (www.supportiscare.org), a national campaign launched in March 2026 to raise awareness about Supportive Cancer Care across the United States. Supportive Cancer Care provides whole-person support from diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. Services such as symptom management, mental health support, nutrition counseling, financial navigation, palliative care, and survivorship planning help people with cancer maintain quality of life, stay on track with treatment, and achieve better outcomes. "Too few people facing cancer and their loved ones are aware of the Supportive Cancer Care services that may be available to them that can help them through treatment and beyond," said Audrey Haberman, CEO of The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation. "Through the power of real stories and real voices, this campaign helps patients and caregivers understand that cancer care is more than treating the disease. It's about ensuring people receive the physical, emotional, and practical support they need every step of the way. We're grateful to iHeartMedia for this partnership and thank them for their willingness to use their national platform to help people living with cancer and their loved ones caring for them." Supportive Cancer Care bridges clinical treatment like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation with emotional, practical, and financial support, putting patients and caregivers at the center of care while also addressing the symptoms of the disease and the side effects of treatment. Supportive Cancer Care can include services like: * Guidance on connecting to financial counseling and resources and help with transportation to appointments; * Pain management; * Conversations about goals of care and treatment options; * Support for caregivers like family members and close friends; * Patient navigation; * Nutrition; and * Help understanding insurance coverage, billing, and benefits. By helping address the symptoms of the disease and the side effects of treatment, along with the practical and logistical demands of cancer, Supportive Cancer Care improves outcomes and quality of life, reduces overall health care costs, and expands access to services. According to recent research: * Patients receiving supportive oncology care had between 27% and 70% fewer inpatient admissions, and between 16% and 54% fewer emergency department visits compared to patients not receiving supportive oncology; * There was a 25% reduction in Emergency Department utilization for people with Medicare and Medicare Advantage; and * After 90 days of receiving supportive care, patient costs dropped by up to 25%. Over two million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2025, and 18.6 million Americans are currently living with cancer. For the fourth year in a row, cancer is the top condition driving health care costs among employers in the United States. A 2023 study found that more than half of Emergency Department visits by people with cancer are preventable. Awareness and access gaps continue to limit the use of Supportive Cancer Care services across the country. Support Is Care is working to close those gaps by equipping patients, caregivers, and providers with clear information about the types of support available and how to navigate the system.
Good Sports and TruGreen host 'Play Day Celebration' and equipment donation to kick off fall sports season at local High School. Oct 02, 2026, 15:22 ET TruGreen and iHeartMedia announce national collaboration to support youth sports, including a celebratory equipment donation and 'Play Day' with Maplewood High School FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - TruGreen, in collaboration with Good Sports and iHeartMedia, announced an initiative to help further Good Sports' mission to drive equitable access in youth sports and physical activity by supporting children in high-need communities to achieve their greatest potential, on the field and in life. With a goal to support "play for all," TruGreen and Good Sports are addressing a challenge facing under-resourced youth sports programs: ensuring kids have access to the equipment they need to play and thrive. Good Sports serves schools where the majority of the programs use sports and recreation equipment that is more than 7-10 years old, and where more than 80% of teachers spend their own money on student sports supplies. This national collaboration is made possible through the iHeartImpact program, a community impact division of iHeartMedia designed to help corporate brands partner with nonprofits through their advertising spend with iHeartMedia. TruGreen's investment helps local organizations across the country expand programming, lower participation costs, and give more kids the physical, social, and emotional benefits that come with being active. "This partnership is going to help make a profound impact on kids across the country. Good Sports is grateful for TruGreen and iHeart's commitment to helping us provide access to play to kids, no matter where they live. This Play Day Celebration is a testament to that," said Good Sports co-founder and CEO, Melissa Harper. With more than 11 million kids equipped with sports gear across all 50 states, Good Sports is helping to create safe and inviting environments where children can play. "As a former athlete, sports really helped me learn the values of teamwork and leadership," said Brian Bugara, Senior Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer at TruGreen. "At TruGreen, we believe in Good Sports' approach to ensure all kids have access to good fields and the equipment they need to play sports. We're excited to be part of this effort." "Youth sports is a pillar for so many of the communities and audiences we reach every day, including here in Nashville," said Ann Marie Licata, CEO, Multiplatform Group iHeartMedia, iHeartMedia. "Supporting communities is central to iHeart's mission, and we're grateful at the opportunity to come together with both TruGreen and Good Sports to make youth programs across the country more accessible and equitable." The Maplewood High School Panthers celebrated an on-field Play Day where TruGreen and iHeart joined Good Sports in providing new sports supplies to the school. Led by TruGreen volunteers, student athletes participated in activities with their new equipment, including flag football, volleyball "keep the ball alive", soccer, and a catchers relay race.
