THE WMRN ARCHIVES: 1994–1995 — “Domestic Violence: Denise Brown Interview” — WMRN News Promo

This episode presents a preserved WMRN News promotional announcement titled “Domestic Violence – Denise Brown.”

Produced during the national attention surrounding the O.J. Simpson case, the promo highlights WMRN’s exclusive local interview with Denise Brown, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson. At a time when domestic violence became a subject of intense public discussion, WMRN positioned itself as the only local radio station to bring Brown’s message directly to listeners in Marion, Ohio.

The announcement emphasizes the station’s role in connecting national stories to local audiences, framing the issue of domestic violence not as distant news, but as a matter of community awareness and responsibility. The promo reflects WMRN’s broader news identity during the mid-1990s — blending national relevance with local impact.

This recording is preserved and presented as part of the WMRN Radio History Archive. Audio quality, production style, pacing, and language reflect the era in which the promo originally aired.
