All proceeds will go towards this year’s Take Back the Night (on April 15th)! Take Back the Night is dedicated to confronting numerous social ills, including rape, sexual violence, domestic violence, violence against children, and violence against women. This year, as every year, TBTN will provide members of the Athens community with an opportunity to participate in a candlelight vigil and an empowerment march. The night will end with the opportunity for survivors of violence to give voice to their experiences and publicly affirm their transition from victim to survivor.

WUOG welcomes our parents this weekend! The moms and dads and official guardians of all our DJs will be guest-djing all weekend, so our regular weekend programming will be temporarily interrupted. This super special family-friendly event starts tonight at 6pm and will not stop till sunday night at midnight.

Thanks for giving birth to us, Parents!

WUOG recently helped UGA’s ONE Campaign put together a compilation CD of local musicians to benefit the victims in Haiti.  There will be a CD Release Party this Friday, March 26th at Farm 255 with Crumbling Arches and Lazy Mane & Kosherbeets performing!

Here’s the track listing for the benefit CD. A few of these bands have played at our station or were even wuoggers themselves!

There is a $3 suggested cover charge and youngins under 21 are recommended to come before 10:30 p.m. The CDs cost $12 and all donations will be going OxFam (http://www.oxfam.org/en/emergencies/haiti-earthquake), an organization working to meet the immediate needs of the Haitian people and rebuild from the ground up. If you’re unable to come to The Release Party, you can still pick up a CD at Wuxtry or School Kids Records downtown, as well as at the Tate Student Center Ticket Office.

The Athens community is still in shock about the proposed budget cuts. On the chopping block are some of our town’s most esteemed institutions, including our sister station WUGA.

WUGA provides the community with music, news and arts. WUOG and WUGA  both serve common goals by providing Athens with an alternative to mainstream radio.

In the coming days WUOG will reach out to WUGA to understand how to best support this great station. In the meantime, please join their facebook fan page, donate money and write your legislature.
