Gulf Coast Congressional Report
''The Gulf Coast Congressional Report'', or ''Congressional Report'', is a public service television program broadcast by WKRG-TV in Mobile, Alabama from 1973 to 2006. Originally hosted by Representatives from the three congressional districts within the reach of WKRG's signal, the commercial-free talk show gave viewers a local perspective of Washington, D.C. and the central Gulf Coast from their congressman's standpoint. The program was free to broadcast and was paid for by tax dollars. It was recorded in one of the United States Capitol recording studios and in Mobile.
==History==
D.H. "Buck" Long, vice president of WKRG, brought the idea of ''Congressional Report'' to the attention of Jack Edwards, who represented . The program would be a collaboration of Edwards, Trent Lott of and Bob Sikes of . Sikes was reluctant at first, according to Lott, but he ultimately joined the program from its first broadcast. Sikes was a Democrat; Edwards and Lott were Republicans. Throughout the years, the hosts made sure the program would remain non-partisan and free of conflicts.
After succeeding Sikes in 1979, fellow Democrat Earl Hutto joined the program. Edwards retired from Congress in 1985, and fellow Republican Sonny Callahan succeeded him in Congress and on the program. Shortly after Lott was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1988 and Hutto retired from Congress, the program’s multiple hosts format ended, and Callahan took over as sole host. Lott and Hutto would reappear on the program during Callahan’s term in Congress.
In 2002, Callahan announced his retirement from Congress and his Chief of Staff, Jo Bonner, became his successor. Like his former boss, Bonner also hosted ''Congressional Report'' on his own, and invited numerous guests. As an aide to Callahan, Bonner helped produce the program during the mid-1980s. In the July 2003 Nielsen ratings, the program in its 10:00 a.m. timeslot (following ''Face the Nation'' on CBS) still ranked higher in viewers than those of Mobile’s three other major network TV affiliates. It continued to be profitable for WKRG, which had estimated that it could earn $1500 or more for airing the commercial-free program.
