Exhibit 99.1 Press Release WEDNESDAY MAY 2, 2:17 PM EASTERN TIME PRESS RELEASE SMALL TOWN RADIO INC., WORLDWIDE PETROMOLY UPDATE MERGER SCHEDULE UNVEIL STRATEGY FOR EXPANSION HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2001--Worldwide PetroMoly Inc. (OTCBB:MOLY - ---- news; the Company) today announced that it is proceeding with its plans to merge - ---- with Small Town Radio Inc. (STRI). The merger, which was announced last month, is expected to close before the end of May. "We have been working diligently to prepare all of the necessary documents and are moving forward," says Lance J. Rosmarin, president of Worldwide PetroMoly. "The closing conditions still include the receipt of appropriate financing, a fairness opinion, and other standard closing requirements of an acquisition of this size and nature." Small Town Radio Inc. is a development-stage enterprise based in Atlanta, which intends to acquire, integrate and operate a number of radio stations, primarily in smaller, non-rated markets in the Southeast. The Company has been in the business of manufacturing, marketing and distributing lubricants for use in engines. The Small Town Radio Inc. (STRI) business strategy is to secure through acquisition a significant number of radio stations in our target markets, generally smaller, less populated areas near, but not in, mid-sized and larger markets. STRI intends initially to acquire radio stations in rural sections of South Georgia, and then expand into additional, geographically contiguous markets in the Southeast such as Alabama and South Carolina. STR believes that a network of stations in contiguous broadcast areas with two or three common programming formats will provide an advertising and listener base of significant size. It expects to operate its studio facilities from Atlanta utilizing digital transmission technology to provide high-quality programming, including local content, to its stations across the Southeast. Small Town Radio Inc. announced that it has retained Attkisson, Carter & Akers, a broker/dealer based in Atlanta to manage the financing associated with the merger. "We are pleased that Attkisson is willing to manage this process for us and hope to have a continuing relationship after the merger," said Robin Vail, CFO for STRI.
