WNNL is an Urban Gospel formatted station. Owned by Radio One with WQOK and WFXC/WFXK, The Light 103.9 is The Triangle's #1 Station for Inspiration and home to the Yolanda Adams morning show.
WAKS-FM was a Country station in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina and sister station to WAKS-AM when it signed on in 1981. In 1987 the station became easy listening WAZZ. In 1989 the station moved to Cary, North Carolina and began playing smooth jazz as WNND "The Wind".[2]
After financial problems, WNND was sold to Clear Channel [3][4] and switched to a classic hits format, with the call letters WZZU, previously used by what is now WKSL-FM. The current format began in October 1997 on WZZU and WDUR.[5]
Clear Channel owned WNNL, WFXC, WFXK and WQOK until 2000 when the stations were spun off to Radio One for Clear Channel to meet ownership caps following their acquisition of AMFM.[6]
