The History of WOWO.com has made the conscious decision to post audio as MP3 files, rather than a streaming format like RealPlayer, so that you may download these files if you wish. All we ask in return is that you do not attempt to hotlink to our files from other sites, and that you do not attempt to sell or otherwise make a profit from them.

We are actively seeking additional WOWO jingles, IDs or airchecks! If you have any that you are willing to share, please contact us!!

We are also interested in your comments and suggestions on how we can improve the History of WOWO.com.
