Pitt's historic Voice of America site signs off

 
Edward R Murrow Transmission Station

A little known but still strongly held point of pride for some in Pitt County is that the community had the honor of being home to the last Voice of America transmitting station on United States soil.

That honor is no more now that the Voice of America and its parent agency, the United States Agency for Global Media, were shut down in mid-March as part of cost-cutting by the administration of President Donald Trump.

Efforts to obtain more details from the agency about the shutdown of the Edward R. Murrow Transmitting Station, also known as VOA Site B, were unsuccessful, including learning how many people employed at the site were either let go or placed on administrative leave.
