CONGRATULATIONS TO SORENSON BROADCASTING FOR 13 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE AND 
                      10 YEARS OF GREAT TALK RADIO

                                 ______


                        HON. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 25, 1995
  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, in my home district of Guam, we have many 
fine radio personalities and journalists. One of the island's 
communications corporations has been around for the last 13 years, and 
has been the only all talk radio station on our island for the last 10 
years. The company is known as Sorenson Broadcasting, and its all talk 
radio station is NEWSTALK: K-57. Since there is only one all talk 
station on our local radio dial, K-57 is more like an electronic 
village meeting which convenes every day.
  The mornings are very alive with one of Guam's solid citizens, Jon 
Anderson. This is morning talk radio at its finest. For 4 hours 
beginning at 6 a.m., Anderson engages, encourages, stimulates, and 
informs. Jon Anderson is the most well-known voice throughout all 
segments of Guam's varied communities. He has been concerned with 
island issues for many years now, and Guam is enhanced by his show and 
his concern.
  Then, in the afternoon when things seem to be slowing down, Myk 
Powell hits the air waves. If you need a little humor, albeit tongue-
in-cheek, to keep going, Myk, gives you exactly that, a little humor. 
He'd be proud of me for stealing that joke. But seriously folks. . . .
  Myk carries on the same important role of channeling emotion, 
conveying information, and encouraging debate. He has that rare gift of 
being able to intelligently sprinkle humor throughout his show. From 
his Uncle Myk-ie alter ego to his hilarious commercials. Myk can tease 
an audience immediately after causing them to question their stance on 
important issues.
  Beyond all the talk, NEWSTALK K-57 features the Island's only radio 
news team guided by news pro, Patty Arroyo, the island's only on-the-go 
Shakespearian traffic reporter, Jefferson Cronin, and knowledgeable 
news anchors and reporters.
  Yes, we the radio listeners on Guam are fortunate indeed. The 
naysayers said you'd run out of things to talk about. Ten years later, 
we continue to enjoy the fine programs which K-57 radio offers today 
and, we hope, for many years to come.
