Sara O’Brien – General Manager

My favorite thing about being General Manager at WUAG is that I often get to be the person who initially helps curious people get plugged in to some of the goings-on around the station. Other than that, I do your basic (and not so basic) menial managerial tasks while surrounded by awesome WUAG folks.

When not facilitating meetings of the minds or checking the mail, I’m either at a WUAG Presents event, drinking coffee, and/or walking my dog.

Feel free to contact me about any WUAG related concerns, questions, or suggestions!

Spencer Auten - Program Director

As program director at WUAG, it is my responsibility to ensure that our DJs deliver quality radio broadcasting for our listeners. If YOU are interested in having a show at WUAG, I am the guy to talk to! Each semester I create a DJ schedule that allows our listeners to experience the aural splendor that is 103.1 FM. I also do some housekeeping around the station: making copies of program logs,  filing paperwork etc. Occasionally you can find me at Tate St. Coffee House for those of you who need your daily fix of caffeine, which is another crucial component of any perfect day. I don’t have a cool blog to follow, but you can reach me at program.wuag@gmail.com

Terrence Gantt – Sports Director

What’s up Greensboro!!! Whether you know me as Terrence; Da Kidd from Kidd Radio and In the Beat of the Night; or the youngest, most focused, humble, and ambitious media management major at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, somebody decided that it was only righteous to give me another title.

Simply put, the day I was hired as director at WUAG 103.1 FM marks another day in sports history. Sports as always played a major role in my life as I always seemed somewhat athletic [cough, cough]. I reminisce about when my Physical Education teacher and Track & Field coach told me I couldn’t hit water if I fell out of a boat, that he’d seen better arms on a clock, and that the world needed ditch diggers. Memorable sports related moments to me include OJ Simpson breaking the 2000 yard single season mark [regardless of any other allegations], the tragic murder of 1972 Munich Olympic athletes, Ali vs. Frazier, Tiger Woods becoming the youngest masters champion, Michael Jordan hitting the final shot in the 1998 NBA finals, and Steve Prefontaine setting American records as one of the youngest, most successful long distance runners in history.

Nonetheless, I am ecstatic to join an amazing team of individuals who value the stations traditions and are eager to get the ball rolling in educating the greater Greensboro community through the power of radio. I am a very entertaining, positive, and an optimistic person and always take great pleasure in meeting new people.

Carla Guzman - News Director

As WUAG’s News Director I try to bring pertinent news to the station whether it is important locally, nationally, or globally. Mostly I like to stick to what is relevant to Greensboro since that is our location. I am open to all stories though!

Just a little background information about me, I am a California native and come from an immigrant family. I hated North Carolina when I got here but now I love it. It’s changed my perspective in many ways and I can’t wait to have the chance to travel/ live outside and inside this country. Immersion is the best way to learn a new language and culture!

Reed Benjamin – Productions Director

As Productions Director for WUAG I host a weekly radio show called Radio Greensboro that has a live band (local-national) play a set on air on Sunday nights from 8-10pm.  The show usually contains an interview with the band.  In addition to wuag.net, you can visit Radio Greensboro at radiogreensboro.tumblr.com.  This site contains a regularly updated schedule of upcoming bands, archived photos, mp3s, and more!  Radio Greensboro also has a Facebook group with other important updates and info.

I believe in local music and the potential of artists in North Carolina.  It is my goal to provide local musicians with an outlet to have their music heard by many while retaining a quality representation of their music and having a positive experience for everyone involved.

I also enjoy a good cup of coffee and a nice glass of orange juice.  Usually separate from one another.

If you would like to book your band on Radio Greensboro please contact me at radiogreensboro@gmail.com

Also go to www.myspace.com/radiogreensboro to see what bands will be coming to the show soon.

Danni Brower – Promotions Director

Office 306, Brown Building * 336-334-5588 * wuagpromotions@gmail.com

As promotions director for WUAG, not only am I the station’s official horn-tooter, but I also get the word out on anything and everything awesome going on in Greensboro and beyond. The bread and butter of my job is putting together flyers and posters for our events, canvasing the city with them, compiling our concert and event calendars, and writing and recording PSA’s.

I’ve also started doing a weekly promotions show, cleverly called “The Promotions Show,” which currently airs Sundays 4-7pm. The show features a concert preview- an audio companion to the hourly concert update- pre-recorded interviews on upcoming events, and ticket giveaways almost every week.

The show is now Facebook official, so check the page for updates on each week’s features and giveaways and archives of the programs, as well as general shout-outs with lots of tags.

If you have an event or organization doing something awesome in Greensboro, want to find out how to get involved, or just want to share how deeply meaningful WUAG is to you, shoot me an email at wuagpromotions@gmail.com
