              CELEBRATING 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF WOMT RADIO

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate WOMT Radio 
in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on an extraordinary milestone: 100 years of 
serving northeastern Wisconsin.
  Since first going on the air in 1926, WOMT has become the trusted 
source for local news, sports, conversation, and community programming. 
At a time when much of the media has become nationalized, to its 
detriment, WOMT remains proudly local.
  Each week the station produces more than 40 original programs focused 
on the people and issues that matter to Manitowoc. Its broadcasters 
celebrate local achievements, provide a platform for community voices, 
and ensure that local stories are heard.
  Since the 1960s, the Seehafer family has carried on this tradition of 
local service. Today, under the leadership of President Mark Seehafer 
and Vice President Terry Stevenson, WOMT remains a third-generation, 
family-run company with deep roots in the community.
  WOMT's excellence in truly local focus have been recognized by the 
Wisconsin Broadcasters Association which has named it the Medium Market 
Station of the Year for 7 consecutive years, a well-deserved 
recognition.
  For a century, WOMT has done more than broadcast. It has informed its 
listeners, connected its community, and proven that local radio is not 
only alive and well but is thriving in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
  I congratulate them.
