Should be easier to hear LU football games in the Triangle.

That is my hometown.
When people ask where I'm from, I usually just say Raleigh because no one knows where Zebulon is.

For seven years, WGPS 88.3 FM has broadcast a message of hope through Bible teaching and praise and worship music. Next week, the station will continue a Christian ministry, but under new ownership.
WGPS Calvary Radio was founded about seven years ago with a tower on Wellfield Road and an office in the Winchester Station center off Halstead Boulevard.
Now its handful of workers, most of whom belong to one family, are telling the community goodbye as Calvary sells the station to Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
The 24-hour 50-killowatt station simulcasts over WPGT 91.1 FM in Roanoke Rapids, WJIJ 94.3 in Norlina, N.C., and WAJC 90.5 FM in Zebulon, N.C. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in Santa Ana, Calif., is selling all four stations to Liberty University in a deal that is set to close next week, said station program director Darla Ozanne.
