BIHR: WUOG should cease its current operations

Join the Phi Kappa Literary Society as we take on this topic. As always, guests are encouraged, but not required, to speak.
-By WUOG, I mean “a student-run College radio station licensed to Athens, Georgia, USA, the station serves the Athens area. The station is currently owned by the University of Georgia.”
-By “should cease”, I mean completely end as an ongoing concern.
-By “current operations”, I mean its radio operations or any other activity that requires funding.
