WRNS (960 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a sports gambling format featuring programming from VSiN Radio, as well as an affiliate for Carolina Panthers NFL football. Licensed to Kinston, North Carolina, United States, the station is owned by Dick Broadcasting, through licensee Dick Broadcasting Company, Inc. of Tennessee.

History

In September 2017, Dick Broadcasting announced the purchase of Alpha Media stations in three markets — 18 stations and two translators in total, at a purchase price of $19.5 million. The acquisition of WRNS by Dick Broadcasting was consummated on December 20, 2017.

On August 21, 2023, WRNS relaunched its sports radio format—previously branded "960 The Bull" with CBS Sports Radio programming—with an emphasis on sports gambling, rebranding as "Bet on The Bull" and featuring programming from the VSiN sports betting network.
