The Mid-Morning Magazine is a show hosted by Mike Buchanan every Monday through Friday morning from 8:30 - 9:00. Mike interviews guests from Ottumwa and Wapello County (like city and county officials, local celebrities, heads of local entities like the YMCA or the Red Cross, etc.) and also national and world famous artists, authors, and notable characters.
If you miss the morning show, we play a recorded encore version every afternoon at 5:30 for your listening enjoyment!
