"OK. This guy is SO clueless about what his own radio station does and represents. Student produced television programing on the knowledge channel?!!?!?!? A program you would have to diligently search for on the Xfinity account that NO GSU student has! In Mr. Covey's opinion, This would be an amazing opportunity for GSU students to reach the masses.
More so than a 100 year old 100,000 watt radio station that reaches 75 miles in all directions and has been hailed as "the voice of the south"?
I don't think that WABE or GPB is in the wrong here. They are jumping on a great opportunity for them. This whole situation reminds me of when the Woodruff Arts Center sold out Atlanta College of Art to SCAD back in 2006. Money Money Money. I wish that NPR didn't have to have fundraising drives 1/4 of the time I listened to them. I would love to hear Radio Lab and This American Life on WABE as opposed to the Baroque standards they are forced to play all day. These are issues that WABE needs to address at their own station. Their programming does not belong at WRAS.
Please do not complain to WABE. They need to prosper.
Complain to DOUG COVEY and the administration at GSU for this ignorant attempt to pay off their football team.
There are so little outlets for original music these days. College radio is cute and nostalgic to most but crucial to artists swimming up stream in this Pitchfork era.
Lets fight to keep hearing the mispronunciation of band names and ticket giveaways while stuck in the worst traffic in the nation!
Viva WRAS!"
