The introduction is new, but the documentary is not. It dates back to February 1998 at the studios of PBS member station WFWA-TV 39 in Fort Wayne, focused on the legendary 1190 WOWO... 1190 WO-WO, W-O-W-O Fort Wayne.

 

Today, WOWO is the 50,000-watt daytime station serving Northeast Indiana, still on-the-air, and owned by Federated Media. Its also heard on 92.3 WFWI, 97.3 WMEE-HD2, and 107.5 W298BJ.

 

This also includes one of the biggest legends of all legends for a radio market that size, Bob Chase, who was the longtime play-by-play announcer for Fort Wayne Komets hockey games for an unprecedented 63 years until his retirement in May 2016, followed by his death from congestive heart failure on Thanksgiving morning 2016. RIP to a great one, gone almost 10 years ago.
