WOWO was one of the original Westinghouse stations, a 50,000 watt clear channel AM station heard all over the eastern seaboard.  In 1992 Hurricane Andrew knocked off many radio stations in South Florida and WOWO was one of the stations Floridians could hear updated news of the Hurricane.  WOWO was also well known in the 70's and 80's for it's extensive Indiana sports, agriculture and weather coverage.  In the mid 1990's the signal was downgraded to 9,200 watts allowing station WLIB New York extend it's coverage.  WOWO and WLIB share the same frequency and WOWO's dominant 50,000 watt signal prevented WLIB from extending it's coverage without a downgrade of WOWO's grandfathered signal.
