WTRU

WTRU (830 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Kernersville, North Carolina, and serving the Piedmont Triad. It is owned by Truth Broadcasting and carries a Christian talk and teaching radio format. Truth Broadcasting is owned by Stuart Epperson, Jr., son of Stuart Epperson, founder of Salem Communications. The station is the flagship of the "Truth Network", which includes WDRU in the Research Triangle, WCRU in Charlotte, WLES in Richmond, Virginia, and KUTR in Salt Lake City.

By day, WTRU transmits with 50,000 watts, the maximum for AM stations in the U.S., but 830 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A station WCCO in Minneapolis, so WTRU must reduce power at night to 10,000 watts to avoid interfering with WCCO's signal. WTRU programming is heard on three FM translator stations in the region (see below).
