WNBU (94.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Talk radio format. Licensed to Oriental, North Carolina, USA, the station serves the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville area. The station is currently owned by Inner Banks Media, LLC. The station has obtained a construction permit from the FCC for a power increase to 35,000 watts.^[2]^[3]

History

With the letters WNBR, the station was "Bear 94." Back in 1993 the station played 70s music. In 1998 the station played Classic country.

In 2003, Archway Broadcasting Group, LLC, announced its acquisition of WNBR and three other Greenville market stations--WRHT, WCBZ, and WZBR--from Eastern North Carolina Broadcasting Company, Inc. for $6.5 million. Also that year, Archway bought WGPM and WCZI.^[4]

Later the station switched to WWEA, and together with WWGL (94.3 FM, formerly WGPM), this was a country station known as "Eagle 94." Then WWEA became WWHA, and WWGL became WWNK. The stations were "Hank FM".

Inner Banks Media LLC bought WWHA and WWNK as part of a cluster of stations from Archway for $4.5 million in March 2007.^[5]

WWHA and WWNK were hot adult contemporary for a short time before switching to new letters and separate formats January 1, 2008. WWHA became oldies WKOO "Kool 94.1", using letters that two other area stations (now WRMR and WLVG) had used for the same format. WWNK became WTIB and later moved to 103.7 FM.
