WWOS (810 kHz) is a daytimer radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format, along with Southern gospel music. Licensed to Walterboro, South Carolina, it serves the Charleston metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg.

Contents

Because it shares the same frequency as clear-channel station WGY in Schenectady, New York, WWOS is a daytimer station. It is required to go off the air at sunset to avoid causing interference. The station's programming is heard around the clock on co-owned WWOS-FM 91.9 in St. George, South Carolina. WWOS-AM-FM are also simulcast on AM 710 WPOG in St. Matthews, South Carolina.

History

The station signed on the air on August 23, 1962;62 years ago. The original call sign was WQIZ. It broadcast on 1300 kHz with 500 watts, as a daytimer. [2] Its original city of license was St. George, South Carolina. In the 1970s, it moved to AM 810 and received a boost in power to 5,000 watts, but still limited to daytime hours only. It played R&B music and was programmed for the African American community of Charleston and nearby communities.

WQIZ was sold in 2015 to the Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg. The station switched its call sign to WWOS[ citation needed ] and its new city of license became Walterboro, after the sale of WALI to Apex Media, which had plans to move WALI to Hilton Head. [3]
