WUAG voted among the Triad's best

UNCG's own WUAG has been voted Greensboro's best college radio station by News and Record readers. They have also come in with an honorable mention at third place in the Best Station overall category, beating out commercial competitors whose frequencies allow for a broader listenership.

General manager Jack Bonney says of the vote "We have won the Go Triad! best college radio station in the past- we actually won first in '05, '07, and now '09 and second place in the even years- '06 and '08. But we are much happier, more excited and surprised to come in third behind Rock 92, and WKZL . People genuinely voted for us because they think we are one of the best radio stations. And to be competing with commercial stations, when we have such a low frequency- You can only hear WUAG for about 15 miles behind the city, and some of these bigger stations you can hear in Burlington, High Point, and even Winston- so for us to only be heard in Greensboro and still be in third is pretty impressive."

WUAG is an almost entirely student-run organization, the only exception being Bonney, who came to the station several years ago. There are both two and three hour radio shows all run by student DJ's. The late night shows and weekend shows, called "specialty shows", cover everything from French music to sports to music about US presidents.

"The station has gradually changed," Bonney said. "We've changed frequencies three times.
