History

In 1963, Roy H. Park, owner of WNCT-TV, bought WGTC, Greenville's oldest radio station, which broadcast at 5000 watts at 1590 AM, and changed its letters to WNCT. An FM station was soon added. Eventually, the AM moved to 1070 and increased to 10,000 watts [http://www.geocities.com/rdurw/wnct.html, Retrieved on 2008/08/26.] .

Hinton Media Group owned WNCT when it was "Talk 1070" and aired its programming on Cable Channel 7. In 2006, WNCT increased its daytime power to 50,000 watts. The station also became the first AM in North Carolina to use HD radio [http://www.talk1070.com/hinton-media-group.asp, Retrieved on 2008/08/26.] .
