WUGA-FM (Athens, GA)
VerifiedRadio
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. Source

Justice Department investigates TV networks, citing possible anti-trust violations
The Justice Department has launched a formal anti-trust investigation into five major U.S. television networks for their actions during a court battle over whether several news outlets should have access to the White House despite angering President Trump. While the five networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News — did not comment, press rights advocacy groups denounced the move.
She was a global star: Teen bikes 700 miles carrying injured dad. Where is she now?
Fame is a strange beast. It brings applause, attention and promises of a better life. But when the spotlight moves on, those promises are often forgotten. No one knows this better than 22-year-old Jyoti Kumari. When she was 15 years old, during the peak of India's COVID shutdown, she shot to international fame for cycling over 700 miles, from northern India to her village in the eastern state of Bihar, with her injured father riding on the back of the hot pink bike she'd bought for $20.

Pope Leo XIV to undergo lung surgery this week
Pope Leo XIV announced Sunday that he would have surgery this week to remove a "localized nodule" in his lung. Leo said the nodule was found at a "very early stage" with doctors recommending surgery. "Following their advice, I have therefore decided to undergo an operation to remove it," Leo said during his weekly Sunday noon blessing in St. Peter's Square. The surgery is due to occur at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, which is the primary location for popes to receive medical attention.
Hurricane Simon nears Mexico with 155 mph winds and flooding fears
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — The eye of Hurricane Simon was just off the Pacific coast of Mexico early Sunday and was expected to move inland later in the day as an extremely powerful storm. Simon has strengthened to 155 mph (250 kph), only just below the threshold for becoming a Category 5 storm, the highest on the Saffir Simpson scale. It was about 60 miles (100 kilometers) west-southwest of Manzanilla and moving north-northwest at 6 mph (9 kph).

Sweating the details: Sauna's potential health benefits draw scientists' interest
For more on the science of healthy living, try NPR's Health newsletter. Scientists have long marveled at how the human body tolerates extreme heat — and what that means for our health. In the late 1700s, British scientists ran bold experiments on thermoregulation, subjecting themselves (and a dog) to a piping hot room and observing that — unlike the steak and eggs accompanying them — their own bodies did not cook. The acute physiological response to heat is now well understood.
It's taking longer to find a new job after losing one
Evan Smith lost his job at a Colorado RV dealership this past spring after the company was sold. He's applied for numerous jobs since then, but hasn't found much traction. "You find something that you're excited about or something that you think fits your profile and you go in and over 100 people have already clicked 'applied for it' in the last two weeks," Smith says. "So you just feel like you're a number." In today's stagnant hiring environment, the numbers are not encouraging.
