Augusta Today will be free and launch on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. The site will feature breaking local news, sports coverage, lifestyle features and an array of columns ranging in topic from road trips (Tee Gentry?s ?Blue Highways?) to local politics (Austin Rhodes? ?I?m Just Saying?) to things done on a dare (Bryan ?Dub? Axelson?s ?No Prep?).
Steven Uhles will serve as Editor-in-Chief. Most recently a columnist for Augusta Magazine, Uhles has held roles with including two decades as Arts/Entertainment Editor for The Augusta Chronicle and writing for Athens Magazine, Georgia Music Magazine, and Military Officers Association of America Magazine along with holding many marketing positions in the Augusta area.

?We all are extremely excited about Augusta Today and what we believe it will mean to this community,? said Kent Dunn, Vice President and Market Manager of Beasley Media Group. ?We see this as a great addition to our portfolio of radio stations here in the Augusta market and a real extension of our local-first approach to engaging with the community.?
