Early History of the Station:  The history of the station dates back to 1963 when Roy H. Park, owner of WNCT-TV bought WGTC, Greenville's oldest radio station.  At that time the station broadcast at 5000 watts at 1590 AM.  After buying the station the call letters were changed to WNCT and an FM station was added.  Eventually the AM moved to 1070 and increased it’s power to 10,000 watts.  For many years the station broadcast a nostalgia format.

Beasley Broadcasting Buys WNCT - In 1996 the station the Beasley Broadcast Group purchased the station. In addition to 1070 WNCT the Beasley Broadcast Group also owns 107.9 WNCT-FM, 101.9 WIKS, 99.5 WXNR, 103.3 WMGV and 106.5 WSFL in Eastern North Carolina. .

About Beasley  In 1961 George Beasley, a high school principal in Eastern North Carolina, built a small AM radio station in nearby Benson NC. From this humble start George Beasley fell in love with local radio and began to acquire additional stations all with the goal of super serving listeners, advertisers and communities with radio tailored to local needs and tastes. Today the Beasley Broadcast group owns and operates 42 radio stations, six right here in the ENC. The same creed to super serve our local listeners, advertiser and communities is still very much our mission. It's local radio done right.

1070 WNCT Gets A Big Boost in Power- In 2006, WNCT increased its daytime power to 50,000 watts and became the first AM in North Carolina to use HD radio. 

Launch of a New Format– In 2009 the station switched format to Beach, Boogie and Blues.  The reception has been incredible!  Today 1070 WNCT is the biggest AM station in Eastern NC and one of the most listened to Beach music stations anywhere in the world.  Sign our guestbook and let us know where you listen!
