WMRN Twentieth Year of Service Route 23 Highway Script Page

Documents WMRN-2026-061

WMRN Twentieth Year of Service Route 23 Highway Script Page (WMRN-2026-061) is a station-script accession associated with WMRN editorial or public-affairs commentary, preserved within the WMRN Editorial and Public Affairs Collection. The page is typed on orange Radio WMRN Script stock carrying WMRN-AM, WMRN-FM, ABC Network, and Twentieth Year of Service branding.

The script discusses Route 23 improvement, state highway planning for 1960-1963, and local civic coordination around Marion’s transportation needs. It appears to begin a separate commentary from the snow-removal pages and is therefore accessioned on its own.

Historical Significance

This page documents WMRN’s engagement with local and regional infrastructure issues through station commentary.

Although the surviving page may be incomplete, it preserves evidence of WMRN using broadcast script material to discuss Marion’s highway access, civic planning, and local-government priorities.
