Athens News Matters: Found Footage Festival Showcases Best of VHS

Before there was on-demand streaming and DVR, before DVDs and Blu-ray, there was VHS. Today, thrift stores and flea markets sell old VHS tapes for pennies, which may yield surprising finds. A film festival celebrating found footage makes its way to Ciné on Sept. 28.

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.
