The Rhode Island House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to celebrate the 70th anniversary of WPRI-TV, which will occur on March 27, 2025. WPRI-TV, originally launched as WPRO-TV in 1955, has undergone significant evolution over the decades, expanding from brief newscasts to producing over 60 hours of original programming each week. The resolution recognizes WPRI-TV's commitment to local programming and community service, highlighting its history of investigative reporting and coverage of significant events, including the Meeting Street Telethon. The House of Representatives extends its congratulations to WPRI-TV and directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the station's General Manager, Patrick Wholey, in acknowledgment of this milestone.
