Bill Wynne took over the stations from his father, later selling to his General Manager Charles O. Johnson, who formed Northstar Broadcasting.
[1] Charles O. Johnson, got his start in radio in the 1960s hosting programs on gospel and rhythm and blues to the local Rocky Mount audience.
In 1988, Charles realized a dream he had for many years, Billy Wynne presented the opportunity to arrange a purchase of stations WRSV 92.1 FM and WEED 1390 AM.
Chuck was a natural for the task considering his being one of UNC-Chapel Hill's Radio, TV and Motion Picture last graduating class members.
Between what the family naturally learned of radio from Charles Sr., along with, Chuck's and Sonya's formal training the stations continue to thrive amongst their corporate competition.
