Wayne State University's WDET-FM (Detroit) has announced a couple of programming changes. After two incredible years of bringing energy, soul, and deep Detroit flavor to the WDET airwaves, Mike Latulippe will be wrapping up his run as host of The Detroit Move.

This was not an easy decision for Mike, but he felt it was the right time to shift his focus from radio to new priorities in his life and career.

“It’s been an unbelievable two-year run hosting The Detroit Move… it’s been a lifelong dream come true to host a music show on WDET, and the show became more than I ever expected,” said Latulippe. “I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity and so thankful not only to the WDET team for their support, but to all the listeners who tuned in each week with adventurous ears. Without their support none of this would be possible. I’m very proud of what I was able to accomplish and will never forget this incredible experience and being part of the WDET family.”

Since launching in 2024, The Detroit Move quickly became a listener favorite, known for its adventurous playlists, celebration of Detroit’s musical legacy, and Mike’s thoughtful, personal approach to storytelling through sound.

“We’re truly sad to see such a popular and impactful program sunset,” said Adam Fox, WDET Program Director. “Mike brought passion, creativity, and serious commitment to The Detroit Move, and we’re thankful for everything he’s contributed to WDET. We wish him nothing but the best in what comes next.”  The last episode airs Tuesday, February 17.

With the loss of The Detroit Move, the station announced the debut of The Shake Out, hosted by Detroit musician and vinyl collector Dave Lawson.

The Shake Out continues the station’s tradition of deep-cut discovery, digging into rare gems, overlooked classics, and unexpected connections across genres — guided by Dave’s encyclopedic knowledge and love of records.

“I’m honored and excited to be joining the WDET family,” said Lawson. “This station has meant so much to me as a listener and as a Detroit musician, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share music I love with such a curious and engaged community.”

The Shake Out debuts February 24, Tuesdays from 8 to 9 p.m.
