Initially known as WGCX 88.9 The Heat, Georgia College’s own student-run station first hit the airwaves on September 25, 1975. The vision for WGCX began two years earlier the same way all good ideas start, with a simple conversation.
Today, more than 40 students make WGUR 95.3 possible. Students are given free rein to play a range of music, sports and news. The station now has an audio power of 100 watts and also streams live online.
WGUR believes in the power and voice of Georgia College students, the station itself is a testament to that. One student had an idea and that idea turned into a movement, a thriving organism, an outlet for freedom and creativity for generations of students that would come after him.
