| Monday - Thursday 10 PM |
On the night of October 1, 1989, a nervous announcer at
GPB’s Athens station, WUGA, switched on her microphone
and said, for the first time, “From the University
of Georgia, this is Night Music.”
The show’s first host, Sheila McClure, wasn’t
the only one who was nervous that night. The GPB radio
network, then just five years old, had never before originated
a broadcast from a location other than network headquarters.
The network’s program director at that time, Bill
Bergeron, was in Athens that night, working with WUGA
staff to insure that all went well with the inaugural
broadcast.
Twenty three years and more than six thousand hours later,
Night Music still ends the day for many GPB listeners.
