WDRU broadcastsWake Forest Demon Deacons sports programming, beginning with the 2012 football season. Its parent company, Truth Broadcasting, reached a deal withWEGO in Winston-Salem andWKEW in Greensboro to provide coverage along theI-40 corridor, which had been covered byWZTK before flipping to Spanish programming.[3][4]
WFTK was aChristian radio station and later airedSpanish language programming beforeTruth Broadcasting changed to the current format.[5]
The station was licensed as WBZN in 1984, but signed on September 1, 1989[1] as WFTK, owned by the Baker Family Stations, from studios alongNorth Carolina Highway 56 inButner. On May 3, 2005, WFTK became WDRU.[6]
Originally licensed toWake Forest, the station moved its license to Creedmoor in 2005. It also altered its signal pattern in order to better serve listeners in the western portion of the Triangle (Durham,Chapel Hill).
