Bulldog 93.3 was criticized by Athens community members in February 2018 for owner Paul Francis' response to an advertising request from the United Campus Workers of Georgia.[4]

In January 2021, the station was fined $10,000, after admitting to airing commercials with prohibited promotional language.[5]
