Outer Banks Radio: WZPR To Flip To News-Talk

JAM Media Solutions announces the launch of a brand-new radio format to the Outer Banks beginning Monday, July 13.

The New Jersey-based media company has confirmed the new format will be news-talk broadcasting on WZPR 92.3 FM starting at 6 a.m.

The all-new 92.3 WZPR will feature a live and local morning show with long-time Outer Banks radio and veteran Sam Walker. Walker’s show, called The OBX Today, will feature the local information you need, when you want it.

A native of Currituck County, Sam Walker has been on the radio in North Carolina since he was 13 years old.

Walker has been news director for WCXL-FM, WCMS-FM, WVOD-FM and WZPR-FM since 2011, and has led coverage of some of the biggest news stories in the history of the Outer Banks.

Walker also makes regular appearances on regional and national radio and television outlets, including The Weather Channel, to provide his local knowledge about one of the most popular vacation spots in the country.
