[edit] History
Doug Rice joined WSTP in 1977, working a variety of on-air jobs and eventually becoming morning host and program director. He also served as play-by-play announcer for Catawba College football for nearly a decade, and color analyst for Howard Platt for Catawba basketball. [3]
Also during the early to mid 1970's WSTP put out a weekly "top 40 type list" which was available at local retailers and record shopes. The station was known as the "Rock of The Piedmont". AM Top 40 Radio was at it's peak and WSTP was a great station for a small market in those days.[citation needed]
