Once the "50,000-watt blow torch of the big business of broadcasting," WOWO 1190 AM radio began its run in March 1925 on West Main Street in Fort Wayne's downtown.
Ninety years later, having gone through several owners and even more changes, the station maintains a loyal audience in northeast Indiana and beyond, some of whom attended a special celebratory live show at Thursday night.
WOWO began broadcasting with 500 watts of power on 1320 kHz on March 31, 1925 and was owned by Chester Keen of Main Auto Supply Company. Today the station has a power output 50,000 Day and 9,800 watts at Night.

Because WOWO's Nighttime Skywave Service caused WLIB, also 1190 kHz, in New York City to cease broadcasting at sunset each day and resume broadcasting at sunrise, Inner City Broadcasting bought WOWO in 1994 so that the Class A clear-channel license of WOWO could be reduced to a Class B, and WLIB, owned by Inner City Broadcasting could thereby increase its class from Class D to Class B. This reduced WOWO's potential audience—referred to as WOWOland—from much of the eastern United States to a much smaller local region in northern Indiana, northwestern Ohio, and south-central Michigan. Before the power reduction, when WLIB signed off at night, WOWO's air signal came booming through the speakers into the WLIB air studio.
The station's call sign was chosen to start with the letter "W" as required by the FCC for all stations in the United States at the time. During the 1920s, the FCC permitted either three- or four-letter callsigns, with three-letter call signs being preferred for brevity. By choosing WOWO for easy pronunciation as a two-syllable word, in some measure WOWO had a callsign that exhibited even more brevity than even the three-letter callsigns. Despite this, disk jockeys on WOWO were prohibited from calling the station "woe-woe" on the air until the late 1960s, when a contest was introduced to identify songs in which the "woe" sound appeared. The WOWO callsign was later backfilled as a tongue-in-cheek acronym: "Wayne Offers Wonderful Opportunities".
Today, WOWO airs a News/Talk format and currently has studios in a broadcast complex on Maples Road, on the south side of Fort Wayne. It has a three tower directional antenna on U.S. Highway 24, just northeast of Roanoke, Indiana.
WOWO began to simulcast on 92.3 FM on March 28, 2012 at noon.

He anchored the CBS News coverage of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, and of V-E Day in May 1945. He is believed to have been the first to announce the assassination of JFK in 1963.
Alan Jackson retired from CBS in or before 1981.

In 1967...WCBS 880 AM expands "All News" format to midnight.
By the late 1950s and early 1960s, WCBS had evolved into a Middle of the road (MOR) music and personality format, which included limited talk programming. Personalities included legendary morning host Jack Sterling, Bill Randle and Lee Jordan. Like many MOR stations at the time, WCBS did mix in softer songs by rock-and-roll artists, as its ratings at the time were ordinary compared to the higher ratings at WOR and WNEW, both of which also had MOR formats and more distinct identities. Through it all, the variety show "Arthur Godfrey Time" remained a weekday mid-morning staple.
Eventually, WCBS gained a foothold in local news coverage (WOR and WNEW's strengths) bolstered by its standing as CBS's flagship radio station.
William S. Paley
During the 1960s, CBS chairman William S. Paley was concerned about the station's low ratings, and that concern started a process that would lead to the creation of a news radio format that would become known as "Newsradio 88". This format debuted on August 28, 1967.
Initially, the station ran news in the drive time periods but maintained an MOR format during the midday and overnight hours, and within a couple of years, it ran all-news programming for much of the broadcast day except for overnights. "Newsradio 88" began its transformation into an all-news format in 1970, when the overnight American Airlines-sponsored Music Till Dawn ended in January of that year, and completed the process in 1972, when Godfrey's weekday morning variety show came to an end. The station built a reputation as an all-news powerhouse during the 1970s, and has continued with an all-news format to this day.
In 1970…Frank Reynolds co-anchored the "ABC Evening News" with Howard K. Smith for the final time. Reynolds commented on the switch saying, "Due to circumstances beyond my control, the unemployment statistics rose yesterday." Harry Reasoner, formerly of CBS News and "60 Minutes," replaced Reynolds.
In 1989...Howard Hoffman and Stephanie Miller first show at WQHT
Dressed in black masks and tactical gear, armed with long guns and pistols, a man and woman entered a holiday party for county health workers in San Bernardino as it was in full swing. Before they fled, they had killed 14 people and wounded 17 others. They led police on a manhunt that left the shooters dead.
"They looked as if they were on a mission," authorities said.
Chief Jarrod Burguan of the San Bernardino PD identified the two suspects as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashween Malik, 27. Ge was born in the U.S. Farook, an environmental inspector, had been employed with the county health dept for five years. Wednesday morning he attended a holiday party for the dept at the Inland Regional Center which provides services for thousands of people with disabilities. He left "angry" after a dispute of some sort, the chief said, and returned with Malik around 11 am heavily armed.
"There had to be some degree of planning that went into this," Burguan said. "I don't think they just ran home and put on these tactical clothes." "We have not ruled out terrorism." The couple were armed with .223-caliber assault rifles and semiautomatic handguns - four guns were recovered from the scene. Police have determined that two were bought legally.
According to TV Newser, NBC News broke in at 2:42 p.m. ET with a special report anchored by Lester Holt. ABC News’ live coverage was anchored by George Stephanopoulos, and CBS News broke in at 2:44 p.m. ET with a special report anchored by Scott Pelley.
CNN first reported the story at 2:29 p.m. ET, with Brooke Baldwin. Fox News pre-empted its 2 p.m. program to provide live breaking news coverage with Shepard Smith from the Fox News Deck. MSNBC reported the mass shooting at 2:32 p.m. ET with Thomas Roberts–breaking news anchor Brian Williams was not part of the network’s coverage, as he’s at home, recovering from back surgery.
Pandora isn’t going to be able to fund its aggressive global expansion with thin air.
As reported by Music Business Worldwide, the firm has a gameplan to move into interactive streaming and launch in Europe in the coming months and years.
That’s after it paid a gigantic $450M for US independent ticketing operation Ticketfly, and ponied up a further $75M to buy key assets from bankrupt Spotify rival Rdio.
At the end of Q3 – before its swooped for the Rdio deal – Pandora had $442.6m in the bank, and no debt.
That’s obviously that’s not enough for what it has in mind, because the firm’s just raised a further $300M through a convertible debt offering, due in 2020.
In plain English, convertible debt is when a business borrows money from investors or a group of investors, which then becomes debt – with an intention of converting this debt into equity down the line.
Pandora now expects to grant Morgan Stanley, the initial purchaser of the notes, a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $45 million-worth of convertible debt.
Wall Street is clearly a little worried by Pandora’s decision to raise funds at this stage in this way.
Pandora’s share price fell 5.4% overnight to $13.50 on the NYSE after the announcement was made.
Perhaps that’s because fears have been triggered over the Copyright Royalty Board’s decision – due later this month – regarding the US statutory rate that ‘webcasters’ like Pandora will have to pay labels from 2016-2020, report Music Business Worldwide.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two of the largest shareholders in Viacom Inc have made the highly unusual move of publicly questioning Sumner Redstone's mental fitness to remain executive chairman of the multi-billion dollar media company.
Mario Gabelli, whose funds hold the second-largest voting stake in Viacom after Redstone himself, and Salvatore Muoio, whose firm is the seventh-biggest voting shareholder, voiced the concerns a week after a former girlfriend of Redstone filed a lawsuit alleging that the 92-year-old mogul was mentally incompetent.
A member of Viacom's board made the rare move of responding publicly on Tuesday to investors' concerns, saying Redstone remains "mentally capable."
The investors' expressions of doubt about the mental competence of a high-profile company executive came as a surprise, but gossip column reports and heavy secrecy around the health of the media mogul have led to intense speculation over the future of Redstone and his $45 billion media empire.
Manuele Herzer, Sumner Redstone
Redstone has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the company for some time, but the lawsuit by ex-girlfriend Manuela Herzer, who has petitioned the court for an examination of Redstone, has caused some to worry that a surge of litigation could hamper the company as it tries to recover from a drop in TV ratings.
Herzer filed the lawsuit Nov. 25, weeks after being kicked out of Redstone's Los Angeles-area home. Redstone had designated her as his agent to make health care decisions if he was unable to do so, and in October Redstone replaced her with Viacom Chief Executive Philippe Dauman.
Herzer claims that Redstone was mentally incapable of making that decision and asked the court to reinstate her.
Redstone's lawyer, Gabrielle Vidal, had said the lawsuit was baseless and that Herzer is financially motivated.
Viacom's board denied any issues with Redstone's mental fitness on Tuesday.
“As has been widely and publicly disclosed, Mr. Redstone’s physicians have publicly attested that he is mentally capable, and this information is consistent with other medical and other information available to me," William Schwartz, chairman of Viacom’s governance and nominating committee, said in an emailed statement.
The suit highlighted the uncertainty over what will happen on the death of Redstone, who controls about 80 percent of both Viacom and CBS and is executive chairman of both companies.
"Is he or isn't he in the position where he should be chairman emeritus or something?" Gabelli, chief executive officer of Rye, New York-based GAMCO Investors Inc, told Reuters. He left a message for a person at Viacom about the issue on Tuesday, he said, declining to say whom he called.
Muoio, a principal with New York-based S. Muoio & Co, said he had similar issues.
"If Sumner is no longer fit to lead the board, then he should give up that role," Muoio told Reuters.
CBS and Viacom, home to cable networks MTV and Nickelodeon, have a combined market value of $45 billion. Redstone controls both companies through his vehicle National Amusements which holds 80 percent of the voting stock. As chairman and owner, he has the ultimate say over major decisions involving CBS and Viacom, including any potential merger deals.
If CBS or Viacom did remove Redstone as executive chairman, it is unclear who would replace him. Upon Redstone's death, a trust of seven people, including daughter Shari Redstone and Viacom CEO Dauman, will oversee his voting stake.
Redstone has not been on an earnings call since last year and did not turn up for Viacom’s annual shareholder meeting in March or one held by CBS in May.
"Too many people are calling me and saying: 'What's really going on?'," Gabelli told Reuters.
Gabelli also tweeted about the issue on Tuesday afternoon, writing that Viacom should "give to all shareholders what the Board of Directors know about Executive Chair."
Even investors who are less concerned about Redstone's title are worried about the attention the suit is getting.
"I don't think the company is rudderless because Redstone is in ill health, but I do think the issue has created more noise lately because of the lawsuit," said Michael Cuggino, president and portfolio manager at San Francisco-based Permanent Portfolio of Family Of Funds, which is the fifth-largest voting shareholder in Viacom.
As an example, Cuggino said a copy of Redstone's signature from one of the filings in Herzer's lawsuit looking like a line going off the page had been widely seen. (Reporting by Jessica Toonkel; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn and Bill Rigby)
CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves gave the keynote address at Variety‘s annual Dealmakers breakfast Wednesday, and addressed key issues facing his business, ranging from the future of the company post-Sumner Redstone, the status of rights for the NFL and his feelings on the movie “Truth,” which depicted the events around a flawed “60 Minutes” report about former president George W. Bush.
In a Q&A conducted by Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Claudia Eller, Moonves talked about the speculation swirling about the fate of Viacom and CBS in the wake of executive chairman Redstone’s failing health. “I don’t think Viacom and CBS should be reunited,” he said. “There’s no benefit for either company to be joined.” He also dismissed any notion that he would pursue buying CBS himself. “It’s not something that’s on my radar,” he said.
Howard Stern
On the subject of NFL rights, he said while the Sunday package is profitable, the Thursday night rights have yet to cross that threshold. But he said he’s still going to pursue them given the support it offers to the rest of CBS’ lineup.
He acknowledged, though, he’s made some missteps over the course of his career at CBS, including giving up the rights to Charlie Brown (“ABC has been kicking us for it every holiday season since”) as well as letting Howard Stern go to radio.
“Once again, we couldn’t match the money,” he said. “Sirius offered him $100 million a year, but Howard Stern really was the face of terrestrial radio. Even though he went on to David Letterman wearing an ‘I Hate Les Moonves’ T-shirt, I was sorry to lose him. It changed the face of the radio business.”
Howard Stern has been a key piece of Sirius XM Holdings' content since October 2004 when he agreed to join Sirius Satellite Radio. At the time, Sirius had more than 600,000 subscribers while its much larger rival, XM, had more than 2 million. At the time, Sirius agreed to pay Stern's company the startling sum of approximately $100 million per year for five years.
When Stern's contract was renewed for another five years, his workload was reduced from four days per week to three and the annual cost was estimated to drop to $80 million per year. As we approach the end of the year, Stern's contract is once again about to expire, and this time he has been unusually quiet.
In the past, Stern has publicly discussed his business dealings on his show.
KPCW-FM, the nonprofit community radio station serving Summit and Wasatch Counties since 1980, has entered into an agreement with Salt Lake City-based Broadway Media to acquire its FM station KUDD Mix107.9 FM.
Broadway Media is donating the radio station at no cost to KPCW.
“This is the largest donation to KPCW in our 35 year history and helps secure our future as the community broadcaster dedicated to local coverage of news and information in Summit and Wasatch counties,” said Bob Richer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Community Wireless, Inc., which owns KPCW.
“KUDD is a significant asset to add to our current station. We are free to either program it ourselves or sell it to a third party to raise money for an endowment to help support KPCW.”
In a related transaction, KPCW will agree to move its frequency on the FM dial from 91.9 to 91.7 in the coming months.
“Broadway generously has offered to cover all the costs of the frequency change, including the construction of new transmission facilities at a higher power level,” KPCW President and General Manager Larry Warren reported.
“The enhanced signal at 91.7 will widen and strengthen our over-the-air signal, allowing us better reception inside buildings and along the Wasatch Back’s major transportation corridors.”
The frequency move will allow Broadway to make signal improvements to HipHop KUUU 92.3 FM.
KUUU 92.3 FM (500 watts) Red=Local Coverage
“This is a change in frequencies which benefits both parties,” Warren reported. “Each station gets a better signal to better serve its listeners.”
“In addition,” Richer added, “we now have the costs of our signal upgrade covered by Broadway, eliminating our need to launch a capital campaign and compete with other worthy nonprofits in our community which also have substantial capital needs.”
The transaction requires federal regulatory approval from the Federal Communications Commission. After that, Broadway will construct the necessary transmission facilities to move KPCW to 91.7 FM.
The project is expected to be completed in late winter, 2016. The two parties involved closed the deal on Tuesday, December 1, 2015.

"So don't make him a martyr?" Jones interjected.
"In a way you'll make him a martyr," Trump responded.
