North Carolina Simulcast Drops Talk For All-News

Two Class A FMs WNTB 93.7 FM Topsail Beach and WLTT 106.3 FM, Bolivia, NC, previously known as The Big Talker FM are flipping to all-news.

As of Monday, April 1, listeners of 93.7 FM and 106.3 FM will hear Port City Radio, an all-news station that is partnered with the news website Port CityDaily.

Just last month, Chad Adams, the Big Talker's most popular on-air personality, announced his retirement from the station for personal reasons.

"Chad was truly irreplaceable," said Beau Gunn, manager of the station. "With his departure we decided it was time to take the station in a new and exciting direction."

Gunn said Port City Radio is modeled after all-news format stations like WTOP in Washington, D.C., and 1010 WINS in New York, which provide 24-hour news along with local news and sports updates throughout the day.
