                        Wednesday, April 2, 2008

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the recent 
accomplishments of WHMI radio in Howell, Michigan, on the occasion of 
the station receiving the prestigious Associated Press ``General 
Excellence'' Award.
  WHMI was recognized above all other medium market radio in the State 
of Michigan, including Flint, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Bay City/Saginaw, 
Ann Arbor, and Kalamazoo/Battle Creek. To achieve the ``General 
Excellence'' Award, WHMI earned recognition for Best Newscast, Best 
Continuing Coverage, Best Feature Story, Best Investigative Reporting 
and Best Natural Sound.
  Celebrating 51 years of service to the Howell and Livingston County 
communities, WHMI adds to its many awards for broadcast excellence and 
community service this new recognition. All of this comes thanks to the 
hard work of owners Greg and Marcia Jablonski, General Operations 
Manager Reed Kitteridge, News Director Jon King, and the entire WHMI 
team.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring WHMI for 
its contributions to the community. Their new milestone is truly 
deserving of our respect and admiration.
