WOWO (1190 AM) – branded News/Talk WOWO 1190 AM 107.5 FM – is a commercial talk radio station licensed to Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving primarily the Fort Wayne metropolitan area. Currently owned by Federated Media via licensee Pathfinder Communications, WOWO serves as the Fort Wayne affiliate for: Fox News Radio, The Glenn Beck Program, The Dan Bongino Show, The Sean Hannity Show, The Buck Sexton Show, Coast to Coast AM, and the Indianapolis Colts; and the flagship station for the Fort Wayne Komets. The WOWO studios are located at the transmitter site for sister station WKJG on Maples Road in Fort Wayne, while the station transmitter resides in Roanoke. Besides its main analog transmission, WOWO broadcasts over an in-band on-channel HD Radio signal; simulcasts over both low-power analog Fort Wayne translator W298BJ (107.5 FM) and the HD2 digital subchannel of WMEE; and streams online with availability on the iHeartRadio platform. WOWO is one of three primary entry point stations for Fort Wayne in the Emergency Alert System. Historically, the station is perhaps best known for having been a clear-channel station with extended nighttime skywave range from 1941 until 1999; it was downgraded to a Class B AM signal after a 1995 ownership transfer briefly put it under common ownership with WLIB in New York City. WOWO was also the first radio station in the world to broadcast a live basketball game, and the first station to be acquired by Westinghouse Electric Corporation subsidiary Westinghouse Broadcasting, which owned the station from 1936 to 1982. WOWO's call letters are usually phonetically pronounced on-air as "Wo-Wo," rhyming with "go-go." History Early years WOWO was first licensed in 1925 to the Main Auto Supply Co. at 213 West Main Street, and began broadcasting on March 31, 1925 with 500 watts of power on 1320 kHz. The station was put on the air by Chester W. Keen, owner of Main Auto Supply, and studios were located upstairs in the company building. WOWO was the fourth station to be established in Fort Wayne, but because the first two—WFAS, licensed to the United Radio Corporation in 1922, and WDBV, licensed to the Strand Theatre in 1924—had each ceased operations a few months afterwards, it is the second-oldest-surviving, after WGL, which signed on the year before as WHBJ. At the time of its establishment a majority of new radio stations received call signs from a sequential list maintained
