Description
This accession documents a rectangular promotional banner bearing the text “WMRN AM – Marion’s Radio Station – 1490.” The banner reflects the station’s branding and public identity during a period when WMRN emphasized its role as Marion’s local radio station.
Promotional banners such as this were commonly used for station events, remote broadcasts, community appearances, or in-studio display. The design prominently features the station’s call letters and frequency, reinforcing WMRN’s identity as the community’s primary AM radio service.
The banner is preserved as part of the personal collection of Brendon Hamblin and forms part of the WMRN Radio History Archive’s effort to document station branding, promotional materials, and artifacts associated with WMRN’s public presence. Condition is noted as good, with minor wear consistent with age and storage.
