Hugh Christian wasn't the owner,  he was station manager for WRFC 960am,
and perhaps the Bulldog.  Southern Broadcasting bought both stations
(Bulldog and WRFC) plus RFC's sister station in Royston (I can't remember
the number or name).  That makes about 6 or 7 stations that Southern owns
across North Georgia.   

Assuming that an alternative music station will make more money, or be
more successful that a classic rock station because its located in a
college town is... well, your living in a dream land.  A minority
of the 30,000 college students want to listen to alternative music,
what maybe 20%?  Half of them probably have 96rock and z93 dialed in half
the time anyhow.  And don't forget the other 70-80,000 people that live
in the Clarke,Oconee,Madison county area...  lots of 20-45 year old
people that enjoy classic rock.  Besides, the Bulldog was losing 
money as it was.  

I'm more concerned about 960am,  they have a real local flavor that 
I've really enjoyed for the last 3 years or so.  In the morning RFC
has always carried extensive local news, and forums for local issues.
an example, before the last SPLOST (2-3 weeks ago), RFC hosted 
representatives from both sides of the issue.  I know it helped me
cast an informed voted.  And during the election last fall, RFC must
have hosted 20 different candidates running for all kinds of offices.
They had'em on for debates, and just general conversation.  Tibbetts even had
Tom T. Hall on the air for a one hour interview a while back.  That
was real treat.  It look like they've already axed the local sports
talkshow with David Johnston and Chester Alexander (I under Chester
was let go along with Hugh).  This was pretty fun little local show
where folks got to hear local high school sports talk as well as 
braves talk and hawks talk.

I just pray they keep the Papa Joe show and especially the Arnie Spanier
show (10pm-2am).   Arnie's show is one of the funniest
damn shows I've ever heard.  Not only is he funny, hes a stinkin' 
genius!!  At the sweet 16 he picked Arizona to win,,, and then,, and
then.. he picked the exact final score of the championship game
and was off by 2 points...  and he was 80% on college football picks
that fall!

Oh well.
