History

WRRZ signed on April 5, 1947.[1]

In 1966, the station's tower was blown down by high winds that caused widespread damage in North Carolina.[2]

For most of its history, the station played country music and Southern gospel. The station's 1000-watt signal covered 28 counties. The last day that WRRZ played a county music format was February 14, 2003.

After 25 years at the station, Dave Denton sold WRRZ to Victor and Martha Sanchez, who had bought time on the station since 1990, in a deal effective February 7, 2003.The station is no longer on the air.[3]
