Hi, It’s Craig Russell, host of The Afternoon Hustle here on Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR! I have worked in places all over Michigan, but that’s not important. I’m here in West Michigan now, eatin' Fred's Pizza (yum!) buying my milk at Meijer, and playing Classic Hits of the 60's 70's and 80's FOR YOU! Call, email or Facebook the show and be part of the fun!

Who Is Ready For Holiday TV Specials?
This guy! I love watching all the TV holiday specials. Sure you can watch them online whenever, but there's something to watching TV shows actually ON TV. And this time of year all the movies and specials are on right through to the new year!
Stay Classy, North Dakota: Will Ferrell portrays “Anchorman” Ron Burgundy on local TV newscast
That Will Ferrell. He's not only a pretty funny guy, but he's also a master promoter.
Name another big-name actor that would-in character-take his road show hundreds of miles from Hollywood to create buzz for his upcoming movie "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" not on a talk show or press junket, but in North Dakota?
The End Of Movember
The month is about over. Which means I get to shave! Actually the Movember cause SHOULD be a year round event. We should be aware of Men's health issues like prostate cancer and others all year round. Like the holidays, we should be kind and loving people all year round, not just for a month.
Here’s A Black Friday Shopping Tip
When you are out and shopping and everything today, remember to check the technology you purchase carefully. The laptop or tablet you buy now maybe be obsolete tomorrow. Enjoy this flashback to the 90's for proof.
“As God Is My Witness…” [VIDEO]
..."I thought Turkey's could fly" One the most classic lines from the 40th best TV episode of all time, the WKRP in Cincinnati Thanksgiving episode where the station does a turkey drop for the holiday. Except...
The Start Of The Holidays

A Thought For The Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend.
I'm noit the quote guy at WFGR. I never have been. Nor will I be. That feature has been retired. BUT I did see this quote from Johnny Carson, the King of Late Night (and it IS required to say that when you say Johnny Carson's name--The same way you have to say it about a 'Hall of Famer') on Facebook from local legend Paul Jendrasiak.
Best News Bloopers Ever!
Just because the holidays are here, doesn't mean you can't have fun on the old internets! Here's a video compilation that will make our friends at Fox 17, WZZM and WOOD cringe a little. It's an installment o the popular "Best News Bloopers ever!"
The REAL Way To Know The Holidays Are Here
Nope...it's not TV commercials. It's not Black Friday. It's not the snow or the lights downtown. It's certainly not school or work schedules. It's not the stores and it's not the wishlists of kids and adults alike.
Grand Rapids Gets More National Attention.
Except this isn't the GOOD kind of attention. No, it's not about how Grand Rapids is a great place to raise a family, or an appearance on House Hunters. Oh No, it's a little left of that.
Once Again Advertising Predicts The Future.
Well I dont really know if ads can predict the future, but it IS strange when something predicts the outcome of something. You may have heard the Detroit Tigers have traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers. Weird that ESPN might have been a reason the trade was made.
