[edit] History
Originally WGBR-FM at 99.7 FM and then 93.3 FM, this Goldsboro, NC station was later known as WEQR (Q96), a CHR station. In 1989, Curtis Media Group bought the station and moved the country music format and calls of Tarboro's WKTC from 104.3 to 96.9. The WEQR letters and hot adult contemporary format went to the former WOKN at 102.3 FM. "Katie Country" existed at 96.9 until January 9, 1998. The 96.9 frequency was then given the WKIX calls from what is now WBBB. This station also ran a country format, simulcasting with WKXU in Burlington as "Kix 96.9 and 101.1".[2] [3] This station simulcast WWMY from 2001 to 2003 as an 80s station until it changed its format and language.
