                     RECOGNIZING RADIO STATION WHUB

  (Mr. ROSE of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ROSE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, on July 20, 1940, Judge Luke 
Medley started a small radio station in Cookeville, Tennessee, my 
hometown. And for the last 80 years, WHUB Newstalk 101.7 and 1400, the 
Hub, has stood the test of time and been a haven for community events 
and local news.
  WHUB's motto is: ``Where community always comes first.'' They have 
always implemented that motto for the citizens of the Upper Cumberland 
in Tennessee, and they always will. WHUB has been the winner of 
numerous awards in the last 80 years from the State of Tennessee and 
the National Association of Broadcasters.
  Congratulations to owner Jerry Zimmer, program director Brent Carl 
Fleshman, news director Shawn Jacobs, and general manager John Monk for 
their constant hard work to keep WHUB the number one news talk radio 
station in the Upper Cumberland.
  Happy 80th anniversary to WHUB. God bless Tennessee, and God bless 
America.
