Henderson and Vance County Native Randy Gupton logs daily entries which focus on Newsmakers, the Top Stories, as well as personal stuff and family life in the sleepy (but growing) North Carolina town of Wake Forest.
Randy Gupton is as varied an individual as they come. A former News Anchor and Reporter for Raleigh, North Carolina's 680-WPTF, he has covered the movers and shakers of North Carolina's Capital, the region, nation and world.
Anchoring continuing LIVE coverage of the 9/11 attacks, EXCLUSIVE one-on-one interviews with Governor Mike Easley, as well as interviews with other movers and shakers in state government proved to be some of the highlights of his young career.
While the stories he covered varied, his favorite work has always been BREAKING NEWS.
In a late 2001 promotion dubbed 'The People of WPTF News,' he summed up his love of journalism and broadcating:
"I like news because of the intensity. I like news because of the drive. When news breaks, when a story breaks, we have an opportunity to tell people -- right then and there -- about it. That drives and motivates me everyday. And I can't wait to tell people about it."
After a year in the WPTF Newsroom, Gupton accepted a new challenge as the Human Resources Director for Curtis Media Group, WPTF's parent company.
