fitting tribute to WHBC Radio, for since its establishment, it has
provided outstanding broadcast services to the Canton area and has
become well-known for its quality programming. Going on the air on

finding its home at 1480 AM, and it has always delighted and informed
its listeners; and

comprehensive coverage of current events at the local, state,
national, and international levels, while maintaining the flexibility
necessary to meet the changing needs and interests of area citizens.
Entertaining, educational, and informative, this exemplary station has
earned the loyalty of a large and diverse audience and has certainly
distinguished itself as one of Ohio’s finest radio stations; and
WHEREAS, The success of any radio station depends largely on the
dedication and hard work of its staff. The expertise and commitment of
WHBC Radio’s employees and the astute and insightful leadership of its
managers have earned the station the respect and appreciation of the
entire community, and we applaud all those associated with WHBC for
their integrity, skill, and unwavering devotion to excellence;
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of
