History – 252 Radio was founded December of 2006, as one station – RadioFree ENC/WNOS – now known as NewsTalk 103.9FM/1450AM. NewsTalk is dedicated to providing the news you need when you need it. Later that same year, an ESPN affiliation was granted and ESPN Sports Radio 1490 AM was launched. In January of 2011, ESPN launched 104.3 FM to cement its radio sports brand. In June 2014, WECU 1570 AM in Greenville was added as an ESPN affiliate to round out Eastern Carolina’s sports coverage. ESPN Sports broadcasts games from professional leagues like NFL, NBA, MLB and college athletics via the ACC and NCAA.
