| 17 | 17 | | Whereas WOWO began in 1925 as one of the early radio sta- |

|---|
| 19 | 19 | | strongest stations in the Midwest after joining CBS |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | Radio Network in 1927; |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | Whereas, in true Hoosier fashion, WOWO was the first radio |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | station to ever broadcast a basketball game; |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | Whereas, by the 1950s, WOWO became a popular station for |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | news, sports, and entertainment, ushering Fort Wayne |

| 30 | 30 | | Whereas, in the 1990s, WOWO evolved into the conservative |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | talk radio powerhouse we know today; |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | Whereas WOWO has been a consistent source of well-articu- |

| 33 | 33 | | lated conservative values, from the trusted and reliable |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | voices of local commentators like Pat Miller, Charly |

| 35 | 35 | | Butcher, and Kayla Blakeslee, to nationally syndicated |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | figures like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity; |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | Whereas WOWO has inspired and informed countless families |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | in the United States about the issues that matter, and |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | helped shape its community into a stronghold of conserv- |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | ative principles and common sense; and |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | Whereas WOWO has been affectionately known as ‘‘The |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | Voice of a Thousand Main Streets’’, a fitting tribute to |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | its deep roots in the heartland of the United States and |

| 44 | 44 | | its role in delivering news, conversation, and connection |
|---|
