Detroit’s Top Sports Station Is Coming to Lansing on 1240 WJIM

Mid-Michigan sports fans are about to get a direct feed from Detroit's biggest sports station.

Welcoming a Brand New Radio Station

After an announcement from Audacy on Thursday, news of the "97.1 Detroit Sports Network" came to light, and 1240 WJIM is apart of that magic. Effective December 1, 2025, 1240 WJIM will be one of the first places you can hear the brand new "97.1 Detroit Sports Network," soon to be branded as 1240 The Ticket.

What 1240 The Ticket Means For Lansing

For Lansing, the move means the conversations that usually start in Detroit about the Lions, Red Wings, Tigers, Michigan vs. Michigan State, will now be available on 1240 WJIM. The Ticket will serve as a flagship for affiliates like WJIM, and will clear the core programming blocking coming out of Detroit.

The New Weekday Line-Up For 1240 The Ticket

The new addition will be an extensive new sound for WJIM, giving Lansing listeners Detroit Sports Talk in the palm of their hands, and plugging in the most demanded sports content from the state of Michigan.
