WUAG

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WUAG (103.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Variety format.^[1] Licensed to Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, the station serves the Piedmont Triad area. The station is currently owned by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.^[2]

[edit] History

Since 1965 this college radio station has been through several changes. The station has changed location and frequency three times. First it was 89.9, then 106.1, then in 1991 was changed to what it is today, 103.1 FM.

[edit] Programming

The official format of WUAG is Progressive which is also known as eclectic. During the weekday business hours the station plays a constantly changing rotation of everything from indie rock, hip hop, jazz, world music, americana, to electronic. During the night hours (7pm-1am) and weekend the station airs specialty shows that focus on a specific genre of music. These include a world music show. Since WUAG is primarily student-run it has to adapt each semester to the influx of new DJs who may have more of an interest in one type of music over the other.

[edit] Operations

The day to day operations of WUAG are led by full time General Manager, Jack Bonney. The rest of the station is run by a student executive board that consists of a music director, program director, sports director, news director, and promotions/productions director. Along with the changes each year of DJs, the student executive board changes each year as well.
