 RESOLUTION

 Recognizing a century of broadcasting excellence from WOWO and 
 celebrating the radio station's 100th anniversary.

Whereas WOWO began in 1925 as one of the early radio stations in the United 
 States and expanded into one of the strongest stations in the Midwest 
 after joining CBS Radio Network in 1927;
Whereas, in true Hoosier fashion, WOWO was the first radio station to ever 
 broadcast a basketball game;
Whereas, by the 1950s, WOWO became a popular station for news, sports, and 
 entertainment, ushering Fort Wayne into the rock and roll era and 
 serving as a home to beloved radio personalities like Bob Sievers;
Whereas, in the 1990s, WOWO evolved into the conservative talk radio powerhouse 
 we know today;
Whereas WOWO has been a consistent source of well-articulated conservative 
 values, from the trusted and reliable voices of local commentators like 
 Pat Miller, Charly Butcher, and Kayla Blakeslee, to nationally 
 syndicated figures like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity;
Whereas WOWO has inspired and informed countless families in the United States 
 about the issues that matter, and helped shape its community into a 
 stronghold of conservative principles and common sense; and
Whereas WOWO has been affectionately known as ``The Voice of a Thousand Main 
 Streets'', a fitting tribute to its deep roots in the heartland of the 
 United States and its role in delivering news, conversation, and 
 connection to its listeners: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House--

    (1) celebrates WOWO's 100th anniversary on air;

    (2) recognizes WOWO's record of exemplary broadcasting, 
 which has strengthened communities and educated countless 
 families on the most important issues; and

    (3) supports WOWO's efforts to continue informing and 
 inspiring generations to come.
