Athens News Matters: Athens, GA Weather

AthensGeorgiaWeather.com

Athens is bereft of a local television news station, and that means that when severe weather threatens, locals have to turn elsewhere for the latest news and warnings. We’ll meet some people who are filling that gap.

Students from UGA's Atmospheric Science Program have been reporting local weather to Athens for years, now. Starting on Facebook and growing to the many followers they have today, they are instrumental in informing and protecting Athens locals during severe weather events.

Check out Athen's "only true local weather source", at this link.

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.
