This was the old WCRY studios, which have been silent since 2004, when Willis Broadcasting had to surrender the license to avoid massive FCC fines at its stations across the southeast. The station, a directional 5KW day and 165 watts at night at 1460 kHz, signed on as WFVG in 1947 (I think), licensed to Fuquay Springs (before that town and Varina merged in 1963), and was also known as WAKS and WNBR over its nearly six-decade run. In 1981, the station launched a WAKS-FM at 103.9 which is now Radio One's "The Light 103.9 FM" WNNL, from a tower just off US 401 north of town.
