Original Item
WMRN Twentieth Year of Service Snow-Removal Script Pages (WMRN-2026-060) is a two-page station-script accession associated with WMRN editorial or public-affairs commentary, preserved within the WMRN Editorial and Public Affairs Collection. The pages are typed on orange Radio WMRN Script stock carrying WMRN-AM, WMRN-FM, ABC Network, and Twentieth Year of Service branding.
The script opens with comments on snow removal in downtown Marion and compares local street-clearing issues with traffic-control measures used in Washington. The two pages form a continuous script and are accessioned together as a single WMRN station-script item.
