Last Friday, Sam Lane, a former WUOG DJ, was critically injured when a car struck him as he was bicycling toward downtown. Now he is in stable condition in the ICU at Athens Regional Medical Center, and his family is here from Mississippi to be with him. He'll be in the hospital for several more months.

We've set up an online donation site for Sam and his family as a supplement for the donation fund set up by the folks at The Daily Co-op, where Sam works. [read more...]

On Monday, April 16th from 6-7pm, the WUOG 90.5FM News Team will be producing and broadcasting a special report discussing HPV, from the virus to the vaccine. Michelle Cohen, the sexual health coordinator at UGA, and Kimberly Parker, a professor from the Women's Studies department who studies Health Promotions and Behavior, will be on the air with WUOG to provide the public with the facts and knowledge they need to know about this virus and the recent vaccine. Tune in!

We seriously thought about a rock and roll prom show way before we knew My Morning Jacket were doing it, so come out and see M Coast, The 63 Crayons, and Nutria and support our Relay for Life team. So whether you were at home or queen during the real thing, drink punch and listen to much better tunes than you did while bumping and grinding to "It's Getting Hot in Here" 4 years ago.

Don't just wait for prom night to help support the American Cancer Society! You can join or donate to our Relay for Life team at wuog.org/relay.

Do you think you have what it takes to call yourself "The Illest MC at UGA?" Then, now is the perfect opportunity to showcase your skills regardless if you are an artist about to be signed to a huge deal or just someone who loves to rap in your spare time.

Survival of the Illest Vol. 1 will also feature live performances from BEAR of T-NEB and Big K.R.I.T. coming straight from that Mississippi. The event will be hosted by Travis Williams and the man behind all of the music will be the Halftime Hip Hop Show's own DJ BlacqueStarr.
