A senate RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE WCRS RADIO UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS
EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, TO COMMEND THE STATION FOR ITS LONGSTANDING SERVICE
TO GREENWOOD AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MANY
MORE YEARS OF BROADCASTING AS "THE VOICE OF GREENWOOD."
Whereas, on September
1, 1941, WCRS Radio began broadcasting to the people of Greenwood at 1450 on
the AM dial, a tradition of local broadcasting that has continued for
eighty-five years. Through generations of change in broadcasting and in the
Greenwood community, the original 1450, WCRS, has remained a distinctly local
voice, informing, entertaining, and connecting the people it serves; and
Whereas, for
eighty-five years, WCRS has provided coverage of local news and public affairs,
local businesses, elections, government, high school and college sports, civic
organizations, emergencies, community celebrations, charitable causes, music,
and stories of those who call Greenwood home; and
Whereas, WCRS has
provided generations of Greenwood citizens with an opportunity to hear the
voices of their neighbors, community leaders, public officials, educators,
business owners, veterans, artists, students, and others whose lives have
helped shape the community. Today WCRS continues that tradition of local
service on 1450 AM and 98.5 FM, embracing new technology while preserving the
fundamental purpose of local radio: to serve and connect its community; and
Whereas, under the
ownership and leadership of Anne Eller, WCRS has continued its commitment to
locally produced programming and community service while preserving the legacy
of one of Greenwood's longstanding broadcasting institutions. September 1,
2026, marks eighty-five years since WCRS first took to the airwaves, an
extraordinary milestone representing more than eight decades of continuous
connection between a radio station and the community it serves. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate WCRS Radio upon the
occasion of its eighty-fifth anniversary, commend the station for its
longstanding service to Greenwood and the surrounding community, and extend
best wishes for many more years of broadcasting as "The Voice of Greenwood."
