WUWG
History
It has been on the air since 1973, originally with the call sign WWGC, when the school was named West Georgia College. The station previously broadcast a very diverse college radio format, but now carries mostly the GPB radio feed from Atlanta. With an omnidirectional antenna, it covers Carroll County and somewhat beyond with 500 watts ERP.
In August 1994, WWGC became an affiliate of Public Radio International. This allowed the school to terminate most of the student-created programs, and rely mainly on satellite feeds instead. The station ran a ratio of 70% satellite/network programming to 30% student programming, resulting in content probably more suited to WGC faculty, broadcasting that was not necessarily in the interest of the community at large or in accord with student preferences. WUWG airs local news and features, as well as a few student-produced programs in the evenings, but they are only a fraction of those provided previously before WGC obtained access to the public radio system.
In 2001, the station changed call letters from WWGC to WUWG, which reflected the school's name change. The University of West Georgia assumed its present name in 1995.
