Bill > HJR0367

This resolution honors WQMV, a local radio station in Humphreys County, Tennessee, on its twentieth anniversary by recognizing its significant contributions to the community. The resolution highlights WQMV's history, noting that it was initially signed on air in May 2005 under C & L Broadcasting and later managed by DCDL Media, owned by Dean and Connie Duke. The station transitioned to a classic rock format, provided online streaming of local high school sports, and ultimately purchased its own operating license in 2011. In 2016, WQMV became one of the first stations in Tennessee to be approved for an FM translator program, expanding its coverage to include AM 1060 and FM 93.5 frequencies across Humphreys, Houston, Benton, and parts of Dickson counties. The resolution emphasizes the station's role in providing community affairs, sports programming, and emergency management information, and acknowledges its two decades of service in delivering reliable information and quality entertainment to thousands of listeners. The Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate officially honor WQMV and its owners, extending best wishes for continued success and directing that an appropriate copy of the resolution be prepared for presentation.
