Referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. (text: CR S1837)
This nonbinding Senate resolution honors WOWO radio’s 100th anniversary and affirms the station’s historical contributions.
It recounts WOWO’s early broadcasting milestones, its affiliation with CBS, evolution into conservative talk radio, and names local and national hosts.
The resolution celebrates March 31, 2025, recognizes WOWO’s community role, and supports its continued broadcasting efforts.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative Senate resolution: it clearly articulates the celebratory purpose, specifies the anniversary date, and uses conventional language of recognition and support without creating obligations or altering law.
