The Atlanta Constitution reported on August 6, 1966, "In Bainbridge, a local minister joined disc jockeys in their plans to set fire to Beatle discs. The Rev. Charles Bishop, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, announced he would hold a 'Beatle burning' of records, and three disc jockeys said they would supply the pastor with 14 Beatle records to burn. The stations, WAYX in Waycross, WTIF in Tifton and WOGA in Sylvester, announced 'Beatle bonfires' in the near future."

(While evidence specifically of a ban has not yet been found, it is unlikely that a station would hold a bonfire on records by The Beatles without having a ban as well unless it didn't really play music by the band.)

WTIF stopped broadcasting on July 6, 2022.
