Muskegon Channel Radio Proudly Brings You - Polka Melodies With Tom Sanocki

A West Michigan Tradition

Polka Melodies Lives On

Local radio is at the heart of what we do, and we’re honored that Tom Sanocki chose us to continue a West Michigan tradition more than 40 years in the making.

Polka Melodies celebrates the music, heritage and community that have brought generations of West Michigan families together. The Polish community has deep roots throughout the region, especially on the West Side of Grand Rapids, where Pulaski Days has remained a treasured family tradition for decades.

Muskegon began a tradition of its own in 2016, when Len Piasecki, Tom Sanocki and Greg Moss helped launch the Muskegon Polish Festival. Today, both communities continue to celebrate Polish heritage through music, food, fellowship and family.

The Muskegon Polish Festival takes place over Labor Day weekend. Pulaski Days in Grand Rapids runs from September 27 through October 4. You’ll find links to both festivals at the bottom of this page. Now, on to the show!

A New Era for a Legendary Show

Local Tradition With a Wider Reach

Polka Melodies has entered a new era while remaining true to the music and community that made it a staple of West Michigan radio. The show is no longer limited by the sound quality and signal range of AM radio. Through local streaming platforms, Tom can now reach longtime listeners throughout West Michigan—and polka fans around the world.

This partnership is an important milestone for Polka Melodies, Muskegon Channel and GR Channel , where the show also airs weekly.

Both channels share a positive, helpful and community-minded approach to local media. We focus on the people, places and stories that make West Michigan better. Thank you for joining us for your favorite polka music—and while you’re here, we invite you to explore the rest of our local programming.

When Polka Melodies isn’t on the air, Muskegon Channel Radio keeps the music going with classic rock and classic hits from the 1960s and ’70s through today.
