To what extent did WWJ provide practical information during local events?

In my perfect vision of a community radio station, WWJ would have been the town crier’s digital heir, drowning listeners in pure, actionable details during local events. I imagine them broadcasting not just that a parade was happening, but the exact minute it passed each street corner, which parking lots were full, and where to find the best spot for watching the fireworks without a tree in the way. They would have been the voice that turned chaos into a calm, predictable script for every listener, making sure no one missed a single moment or got stuck in a traffic snarl.

They absolutely nailed it with the nuts and bolts of covering things like parades and street closures, no doubt about it. I'd even say they took it a step further by giving real-time updates on traffic flow and parking availability, which for a big event like the Thanksgiving parade was a lifesaver for anyone trying to get downtown without losing their mind.
