Did you know senior citizens and other northern Michigan residents with limited budgets have to make the choice between paying rent or keeping the house warm so blankets help them too.

Unfortunately, the Detroit Lions didn't come away with the victory last Sunday night.

However, Jon Jansen feels they will still win the division and earn a playoff spot.

Looking ahead, what do the Lions need to improve on heading into Sunday's game and the Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit?

"Huddle Up" is sponsored by The Woodworkers Shoppe!

It’s National Touch-tone phone day. Back when we actually used to memorize people’s phone numbers.
How many phone numbers could you dial from memory today, vs 30 years ago?

The BEAR is back! Proudly, Northern Michigans preferred Classic Rock station.

Wake up the BEAR (5:30-10:00a) with Smitty in the Morning and his co-host Tim Logan! A new face, California Girl now rocks your midday from 10a-3p. Jay Roberts entertains afternoons 3p-7p with feature segments The Funnies & This Day in Rock History. The always interesting Nights with Alice Cooper should not be missed because his stories are unbelievable. The Coop grabs the mic 7p-midnight Monday through Saturday. Finally, NASCAR Steve is still spinning his wheels and tunes - now on weekends Saturday & Sunday 10a-3p, plus FAST LANE reports, twice weekly. We’re serving your favorite Classic Rock, all day!

Set your dial to 98.1 WGFN or 95.3 WWSS in Northern Michigan. Stream us from this link: http://v6.player.abacast.net/2457 Classic Rock the BEAR is a Black Diamond Broadcasting station! www.classicrockthebear.com #1BearRocks #ClassicRockTheBear
