WTRG
WTRG was an Oldies station licensed to Rocky Mount, North Carolina. For a few years in the 1990s, "Oldies 100.7" was owned by Tom Joyner. No, not that Tom Joyner. This Tom Joyner.
There are two different men of note in the radio industry named "Tom Joyner". One is the famous "fly jock" who commuted between WGCI/Chicago and KKDA/Dallas before going on to national syndication. The other is the long-time owner of stations throughout the Carolinas and Virginia. (Including WTRG at one point.)
