History
In 1990, WYRU switched to a full-time gospel format with a mix of musical styles, after having played black gospel in the evenings.[1]
Two years after Carolina Radio Group executive director Gene Hanrahan came to work there, WYRU was doing so well that a new FM station, WLRD, was added.[2]
In 1997, Beasley Broadcasting purchased WYRU and WLRD from Lumbee Regional Development Association for about $1.2 million.[3]
