History

Originally, this station was WWMC, licensed to Moncks Corner, South Carolina and broadcasting at 3,000 watts.

In the mid-1990s, WNST "New Star" played hot adult contemporary music under the name "Star 105".[ citation needed ]

In December 1998, WCOO switched from adult contemporary to rhythmic oldies, becoming "Cool 105.3". Soon, WCOO made big ratings gains at the expense of WXLY. [3] WXLY recovered but WCOO continued to improve. [4]

In January 2004, WCOO changed to its current format.
