WUGA (91.7 MHz) is a public FM radio station serving Athens and much of the northeast part of Georgia. It is a member of Georgia Public Broadcasting's radio network,but is operated by the University of Georgia,with studios and offices located at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education on the UGA campus. The transmitter is located off Walter Sams Road in Winterville,Georgia,southeast of Athens. The station's programming consists of news and public affairs,classical music,jazz and folk music from GPB Radio,as well as locally produced content On March 1,2010,UGA announced budget cuts that,if approved,would have resulted in the end of locally produced programming on the station. It could have become a full-time relay of the GPB network. However,as of January 20,2011,WUGA remains operated by UGA,and during the early 2010s its operations were consolidated with WUGA-TV,a television station UGA owned at the time.
