WESM PROVIDES LISTENERS WITH VALUED SERVICE

HON. ROY DYSON

OF MAYLAND

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Tuesday, November 21, 1989

Mr. DYSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of Mr. Robert Franklin, general manager of WESM-FM (91.3), and the station's dedicated staff and volunteers who have proven their dedication and excellence in broadcasting.

WESM is responsive to the issues and concerns of the people of the Eastern Shore. Each week WESM provides over 40 hours of news and public affairs programming, receives material from such valuable sources as Sheridan Broadcasting Network, Associated Press, National Black Network, New Dimensions Radio, and National Humanities Center.

WESM is committed to community service. Listeners are encouraged to express their opinions during WESM's community forums, in which citizens are challenged to become involved in such worthwhile community projects as National Nursing Home Week.

WESM boasts a diverse musical format. A blend of jazz, reggae and gospel provides a unique listening alternative to Maryland's Eastern Shore.

WESM has built a solid reputation for caring about the interest and concerns of all Marylanders. The station's staff and volunteers have proven their dedication and improving the cultural, artistic, and social awareness of the Eastern Shore. To WESM, thank you.
