Radio stations with news departments

R

radionut987

Does anyone know of radio stations in Georgia that currently have news departments? Especially those located in markets south of Macon. Please list stations that have in-house news departments, and don't outsource to a TV station, newspaper, or other non-radio source.

Some examples are:

WDUN Gainesville: http://www.wdun.com

WAAC Valdosta: http://www.waacradio.com

WNNG Warner Robins: http://www.wnng1350.com

I'd like to know of radio stations that still do news the right way, in spite of consolidation, as well as constant changes in technology. Any questions? Comments?

Well, since you asked ...

" ... stations that still do news the right way"

I'd say that the "right way" is whatever way makes the most overall sense for the stations in term of profitability. A full-blown (or even half-blown) news department should either generate enough revenue to make it worthwhile directly or indirectly by acting as a loss-leader. Anything else strikes me as more of a fool's errand than a "right way".
