WOWO was THE radio station in our house during the 1960's! Well, during the day at least. My older teenage sisters listened to CKLW, WLS, and, when the static wasn't too bad, WCBS New York because they had the top jocks and hottest top-40 tunes. My favorite WOWO DJ was the late John Cigna. Great memories!
There were quite a few WOWO fans downstate towards Evansville and Louisville, too...WOWO was a lot like WHAS, but "HAS" was more full-service MOR then.
LYRICS, PART ONE: “Lima, Sturgis, Shipshewana, Huntertown, and Logansport: Fort Wayne, Auburn, Defiance too. Warsaw, Huntington, Decatur, New Haven, and Angola, and Van Wert -- They’re all links in a chain, Well they’re all part of a great place -
I first listened to this station of News Talk 1190 WOWO Fort Wayne, back in 2000, listening to Talk Shows including Pat White Show in the afternoons from 4:00PM to 7:00PM or 3:00PM to 6:00PM and the Michael Savage Show from 9:00PM to Midnight and Coast to Coast AM (Midnight to 5:00AM) of every Weekday and Weekday Nights and also with News on the Top and Bottom of Each Hour with Traffic & Weather. Great Memories.
LYRICS, PART TWO: Yes, WOWOland is a great place to be! Delphos; Muncie; Bronson; Marion; Paulding; Portland; Kendallville; Antwerp; Busco; Berne, and Columbia City too. Wabash, Bryan, Hartford City, and Garrett: Albion, North Manchester, Ligonier, Celina and Winchester -- They’re all part of a great place, And WOWOland is a great place to be! W-O-W-O …”
Drove east of the Mississippi River each weekend in high school. Always kept me company. Stopped by the station when it was on Hwy 30 & talked to a DJ. Was that really 1972?
I put up this video because someone wanted the jingle based on a message I got on a board somewhere. I had two subscriptions on CZcams this one "Water Guy" and "RommelZ118". I'm originally from Fort Wayne, and am proud to have grown up there and call this my home town. Today though, I live in San Antonio, TX. I miss my old friends and family that still remain there.....
Oh wow! I used to pick up this station at night right here in Philly! Bob Bolton was on the air there at night. I even wrote hin a letter and he read it on the air. I listened to it back in the fall of '71.
Oh how I remember WOWOland! I was listening to this station at night here in Philly when I was only 14.
Used to listen late at night in Connecticut too. Home of the Fort Wayne Komets!
I remember their great commercial jingles: "Dehaven Chevrolet, twenty three fifteen south Calhoun!" "Penguin Point is the people pleasing place!"
I had forgotten this station. Thank you for the reminder.
