We’re over the hump and cruising toward the weekend — and that means it’s almost time for All Request Saturday Night!

This week, we’re featuring one of Larry Allen’s all-time favorites: the legendary Dire Straits. Get ready for some extended jams and deep cuts — because Mark Knopfler doesn’t just play, he paints with that guitar. 🎸

Of course, we’ll also be spinning whatever YOU want to hear — that’s what All Request Saturday Night is all about. Rock classics, deep album tracks, forgotten favorites — if we’ve got it, we’ll play it!

🎶 Get your requests in early! The earlier you send them, the earlier you’ll hear them. Email us anytime at [email protected], or give us a call live on Saturday night after 7pm at 517-334-0949.

It’s All Request Saturday Night — this Saturday from 7 to midnight on Lansing’s Classic Rock 94.9 WMMQ. Let’s make it a night of killer music and great memories! 🔥
