About station About WBLV Blue Lake Public Radio
WBLV (90.3 FM) and WBLU-FM (88.9 FM), together known as Blue Lake Public Radio, are public radio stations licensed to Twin Lake and Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. Owned by the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp north of Muskegon, Blue Lake Public Radio offers a fine arts–oriented format with classical and jazz music serving Muskegon, Grand Rapids and areas to the northwest along Lake Michigan.
Studios are located at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp's campus on East Crystal Lake Road in Blue Lake Township (with a Twin Lake mailing address). Blue Lake Public Radio began in 1982 with the launch of WBLV, which filled a large gap in NPR coverage. Meanwhile, in Grand Rapids, what is now WBLU-FM was established in 1979 as WGNR by the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music, a non-degree-granting Christian college, as a student teaching tool. In 1988, Echo Broadcasting, a local ministry rebroadcasting Moody Radio programming, bought WGNR and made it a semi-satellite of WXYB in Zeeland. Echo donated its stations to the network in 1991. When the school moved from what had been its campus, it evicted WGNR. As Moody's Zeeland station already decently covered Grand Rapids, it sold WGNR to Blue Lake Public Radio, who relaunched it as WBLU-FM, a full-time satellite of WBLV. In 2025, the station dropped NPR news programming.
