History

After Carolina Christian Communications soldWRTP (1530 AM)and simulcast stationsWRTGandWGSBto Radio Training Network, that company bought WHGG-FM (90.1) inRoanoke Rapids,which was licensed to a school, and changed its name to WRTP-FM.The first translator, W216BN at 91.1 in Raleigh, signed on in 1999, giving the stations a nighttime signal in that area. W216BN moved from north Raleigh to theWSHAtower to prevent interference toWUNC-FM.Another translator was W257BH at 99.3 FM inLizard Lick,serving easternWake County.In 2005, WRTP-FM moved to the 88.5 frequency, former home ofWZRU.After WRTP (AM) was sold toQue Pasa Radio,WRTP-FM continued to broadcast, having increased to 24 hours a day, on a network of translators stretching fromChapel HilltoGreenville.
