According to public information listed on radiostation.info, Columbus County Schools has sold 89.9 FM, an FM band the district used for the presentation of public programs and sports games, known by its call letters WZCO, to WUNC Public Radio.

It is suspected WUNC will air programming on this new station, expanding the station’s reach to southeastern NC.

“WUNC (91.5 MHz) is a listener-supported public radio station, serving the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. It is licensed to Chapel Hill and is operated by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. On weekdays, WUNC carries National Public Radio, American Public Media, Public Radio Exchange, and BBC programming in an “all-news-and-information” format, including shows such as All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Fresh Air. On weekends, in addition to NPR weekend shows, WUNC broadcasts locally produced folk music programming. The longest-running continuously produced program offered by the station is Back Porch Music, a weekly folk and traditional music program. WUNC holds periodic on-air fundraisers seeking listener contributions.

The station operates five full-service FM repeater stations, WFSS from Fayetteville on 91.9; WRQM from Rocky Mount on 90.9; WBUX from Buxton on 90.5; WUND-FM from Columbia on 88.9; and WUNW-FM from Welcome on 91.1. WUNC should not be confused with WXYC, which is UNC’s student radio station.

As of June 2022, WUNC has the fourth highest ratings of any station in the Raleigh–Durham radio market.” Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WUNC_(FM)
