WIDG (940 AM, "The Fan") is a radio station licensed to St. Ignace, Michigan, broadcasting a sports radio format.
The station was known for many years as "Widge by the Bridge" and aired mainly middle of the road music, which continued during the station's brief time in the 1980s as WLVM ("We Love Michigan," with the station's music format provided by TM's "TMOR" package). In 1985 the station returned to the WIDG calls but switched to a simulcast of sister WMKC-FM's country format.
Eventually, in the early 1990s, WIDG once again adopted separate programming from WMKC, airing first oldies (as "Cool 940") and then classic country (as "Classic KC Country") before the current format was introduced.
