Some Athens-area parks reopened, albeit in a limited way, this week. We talk to Kent Kilpatrick, the city’s Leisure Services director, about the reopening and the status of the parks, as well as popular summer programs for kids.
Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
