WUOG Advert

I continue to be interested in the use of print advertising by radio stations. This 90.5 WUOG ad came from a small weekly in the Georgia area that I picked up some years ago. The scene looks familiar to me.. something from a film I saw long ago that I can't place. The objects in the black and white scan are no easier to discern than in the original image. One man holds a drum and mallet, another holds a handset to his ear and another what looks like a microphone.

Remember to do Your Homework!

Three college stations this week lost their licenses because they didn't remember to file their license renewals. The irony to me is that many of these are managed by university faculty; the same faculty that harass students about doing their assignments on time.

Earlier this year WUOG in Athens, GA lost their license and went dark for 2 months. Last year WHCE in Richmond lost theirs as well; but did not have the courtesy to go black. The moral of this story? DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
