                 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHP 580 TALK RADIO

  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. President, today I recognize WHP 580 Talk Radio, a 
radio station in Harrisburg, PA, celebrating its 90th anniversary on 
April 3, 2015.
  WHP 580 was established as WHBG in 1925 by the Skane Electrical 
Service. The station was sold in 1927 and changed its name to WHP on 
station dial 1280 AM 2 years later. In 1951, WHP was moved to dial 
number 580 AM, where it has remained ever since.
  WHP 580 continues the tradition of providing quality programming and 
news just as it did 90 years ago. WHP 580 provides listeners with 
insightful talk radio aimed at informing citizens in Pennsylvania about 
current and national affairs, while keeping them engaged in local 
issues. The station offers a variety of talk radio programming, local 
and regional news updates, and daily weather and traffic reports for 
commuters. By broadcasting pertinent, up-to-date information, WHP 580 
continues its legacy as a respected news source in the Central 
Pennsylvania region.
  I recognize the significant contributions that WHP 580 Talk Radio has 
made to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I wish them all the best as 
they continue their efforts to lead by example with a vision for better 
broadcasting in central Pennsylvania.
