WRTP (88.5FM) is aradio station broadcasting aChristian adult contemporary format. Licensed toFranklinton, North Carolina, United States, it serves theRaleigh–Durham area. The station is owned byRadio Training Network, with studios on Falls of Neuse Road in northRaleigh. Its transmitter is located nearWarrenton.
After Carolina Christian Communications soldWRTP (1530 AM) and simulcast stationsWRTG andWGSB to Radio Training Network, that company bought WHGG-FM (90.1) inRoanoke Rapids, which was licensed to a school, and changed its name to WRTP-FM.[2] The first translator, W216BN at 91.1 in Raleigh, signed on in 1999, giving the stations a nighttime signal in that area. W216BN moved from north Raleigh to theWSHA tower to prevent interference toWUNC-FM. Another translator was W257BH at 99.3 FM inLizard Lick, serving easternWake County.[3] In 2005, WRTP-FM moved to the 88.5 frequency, former home ofWZRU.[4] After WRTP (AM) was sold toQue Pasa Radio, WRTP-FM continued to broadcast, having increased to 24 hours a day, on a network of translators stretching fromChapel Hill toGreenville.
In 2014, WRTP moved its license to the Raleigh exurb of Franklinton.
In addition to the main station, WRTP is relayed by full-power satelliteWCCE inFayetteville, plus an additional nine low-powered translators across east-central North Carolina. In 2019,iHeartMedia-owned andWake Forest-licensed stationWRDU began simulcasting WRTP on its second HD channel. Four of WRTP's translators were transferred to the WRDU license and officially repeat the WRDU-HD2 signal.
