DEARBORN — WKNR-FM has separated from its AM operation and has instead gone into full time broadcasting, 22 hours a day, according to station manager, John Small. 

“Because we have been well received by both listeners and sponsors,” Small said, “we have taken the opportunity to become an entire separate entity.” Plans are being completed to began stereo operation within the next few weeks.
