AI Summary

This resolution celebrates the 100-year history of WOWO, a radio station based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which began broadcasting in 1925 and has become a significant media outlet in the Midwest. The resolution highlights WOWO's historical milestones, including being the first radio station to broadcast a basketball game, evolving from a general interest station in the 1950s to a conservative talk radio platform in the 1990s, and featuring notable personalities like Bob Sievers, Pat Miller, and nationally syndicated hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The House of Representatives formally acknowledges WOWO's centennial anniversary by celebrating its 100 years on air, recognizing its exemplary broadcasting record that has strengthened communities and educated families on important issues, and expressing support for the station's continued efforts to inform and inspire future generations.
