Can't tell from what remains from that era of FCC records, unfortunately.
This was from the BAPS system that predated CDBS, and unless @Michi knows otherwise, I don't think the actual applications are available anywhere now.

All this discussion just so Chimp can make an accurate edit to Wikipedia????
I was pretty much hitting nothing, as well.
I did call the number listed for the umbrella corporation and the lady who answered the phone took my request information.
Now, will someone call me back, I don't know.
Even if they do, it's not likely at all that any records have been kept around from that far back. 43 years is a very long time for institutional memory in radio.
The two people who I hope will get back with me have been in the Greenville market for maybe 5 decades. One I don't know personally, the second, I've known from the early 1980s.
I just thought of another person who might have an approximate time frame.
I am not asking for the exact date, but I think we've pinned it down to perhaps some point in 1983 or so.
As an aside, I made two phone calls to Greenville, the airport authority and then to an aircraft repair facility at PGV. The owner and I have
known each other from back in the mid-1980s.
One of the issues and you pointed it out, the institutional memory, is that all of the folks who would know, and even me, we are all in the age range of 50-80. So many of the folks I know from Greenville have passed on with the newer generation taking over, and that instituational memory isn't seemingly very important.
Thanks and that is pretty much what I have gleaned from information from others.
If I remember correctly, they were on that shorter tower behind the WNCT-TV studio and after the Grifton tower was built, WNCT-FM
relocated the transmitter to that tower location.
Thanks.
You’re welcome. I had family in WNCT radio and TV engineering at the time. Yes, they were on the old tower behind the TV studio before the move to Grifton. Here is an article featuring WNCT TV and FM the October 1982 issue of RCA Broadcast News below.
Thanks.
Yep, I recognized the photos of Heber and Murry. I still keep in touch with Macon every now and then. Murry was pretty active on two-meters when I was in Greenville.
