'''WZTK (101.1 FM)''' is a News/Talk radio station in [[Burlington, North Carolina]]. It serves the Triad and Triangle areas, which includes cities such as Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville. In addition the signal goes well north of [[Danville, Virginia]]. The outlet, which is owned by Curtis Media, claims to have the largest FM radio signal in all of North Carolina, operating with an ERP of 100kw. The reason for that FM radio signal claim comes from Curtis Media, due to the population covered by the station's signal. The transmitter is located on [[Bass Mountain]] in the [[Cane Creek Mountains]] in [[Alamance County, North Carolina|Alamance County]]. |

He owed his early and rapid preferment in church and state to the favor of [[John of England|King John]], becoming the king's [[Lord Chancellor|chancellor]] in [[1205]], and being chosen [[bishop of Lichfield]] in [[1210]]. He was, however, not allowed to keep this bishopric, but he became [[bishop of Worcester]] in [[1214]], resigning his office as chancellor in the same year. Gray was with John when the king signed the [[Magna Carta]] in June [[1215]]; soon after this event he left England on the king's business, and it was during his absence that he was forced into the [[Archbishop of York|archbishopric of York]], owing his election to the good offices of John and of [[Pope Innocent III]]. |
|||
WZTK morphed into its current news/talk incarnation on July 6, 2004. The first live voices heard on the "new" station were those of Brad Krantz and Britt Whitmire, the morning team, which is still in place. Previously, the station had been a country music station, calling itself Kix 101.1. WZTK's sister AM station WPCM (920 kilohertz) simulcasted the FM's talk programming until the summer of 2005, when it went back to its previous beach/oldies format. |

He took a leading part in public affairs during the minority of [[Henry III of England|Henry III]], and was regarded with much favor by this king, who employed him on important errands to foreign potentates, and left him as guardian of England when he went to [[France]] in [[1242]]. Afterwards the archbishop seems to have been less favorably disposed towards Henry, and for a time he absented himself from public business; however, in 1255, he visited [[London]] to attend a meeting of [[List_of_Parliaments_of_England|parliament]], and died at [[Fulham]] on the 1st of May 1255. Gray was always anxious to assert his archiepiscopal authority over [[Scotland]], and to maintain it against the [[archbishop of Canterbury]], but in neither case was he very successful. He built the south transept of [[York Minster]] and bought for his see the village, afterwards called [[Bishopthorpe]], which is still the residence of the archbishop of York. He was also generous to the church at [[Ripon]]. Gray was regarded by his contemporaries as an avaricious, but patriotic man. |

Fox News Radio is broadcast on the hour 24/7. Listeners hear a variety of talk covering most of the left-right continuum including Alan Colmes, as well as financial advice from Clark Howard, and local/state issues. Their morning drive-time show "Brad and Britt" is a local hit with regular impersonations of Dan Rather, Rick Dees, and Rush Limbaugh. |

History
WZTK morphed into its current news/talk incarnation on July 6, 2004. The first live voices heard on the "new" station were those of Brad Krantz and Britt Whitmire, the morning team, which is still in place. Previously, the station had been a country music station, calling itself Kix 101.1. WZTK's sister AM station WPCM (920 kilohertz) simulcasted the FM's talk programming until the summer of 2005, when it went back to its previous beach/oldies format.
Programming
Fox News Radio is broadcast on the hour 24/7. Listeners hear a variety of talk covering most of the left-right continuum including Alan Colmes, as well as financial advice from Clark Howard, and local/state issues. Their morning drive-time show "Brad and Britt" is a local hit with regular impersonations of Dan Rather, Rick Dees, and Rush Limbaugh.
FM Talk 101.1 is not a 24 hour news/talk station; in fact, the station offers smooth jazz on the weekends. The station is also an affiliate of the Carolina Panthers Radio Network and carries Wake Forest University football and men's basketball.
The smooth jazz format has enjoyed success as a part-time offering in North Carolina, and it was once used as a full-time format on two Raleigh stations that carried the "Wind" moniker, although not at the same time. WMAG in Greensboro and WBAV in Charlotte also use the smooth jazz format on the weekends.
