Randy Davis is a household name for many in the Northwest Georgia area.  He spent his life in radio broadcasting and was inducted into the Rome Sports Hall of Fame.

Davis, the owner of WLAQ in Rome, covered a wide variety of sports during his decades of broadcasting, and he was instrumental in getting the Atlanta Braves to locate a farm team – now known as the Rome Brave – in Rome, Georgia.

Davis worked in radio broadcasting his entire adult life, and in 1987 he purchased WLAQ.  In 1997, Davis and his partners purchased the old WGTA  radio station and the new WATG FM station in Summerville.  Both stations were later sold.

Davis suffered a fall in Rome and passed away from the injuries.  He was 74 years-old.

A memorial service for Davis will be held this Wednesday, October 6th at 2 PM at the Rome Braves Stadium.
