History
This station was assigned call letters WLGQ on August 5, 1988 which it held until switching to WYTT on January 17, 2003. It switched again, this time to current call sign WTRG, on January 10, 2005.[1]
The WTRG call letters once belonged to 100.7 FM in the Raleigh–Durham area, whose city of license at the time was Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It first took the calls as an adult contemporary station, and kept them when it flipped to oldies as "Oldies 100.7" in 1989, finally giving them up in 2004 (the station is now known as WRDU).[2]
Ownership
In June 2003, the then-WYTT was sold to First Media by MainQuad Communications Inc. as part of a nine station deal with a total sale price of $11.35 million.[3]
