History

[edit]

The station signed on in 1985 on 92.1 with a 3,000-watt signal broadcasting from St. Helena Island, about 10 miles east of Beaufort. Because it was so close toWSGA-FM on 92.3, the station was limited in its transmitter power. In 1999, the station swapped frequencies withWBHC-FM on 103.1 to get a better signal into Savannah. The station has difficulties reaching listeners in Savannah because of its inferiorsignal. In January 2006 the station was given permission by theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to move its tower closer to Savannah.

On November 11, 2013, L & L Broadcasting sold WGZO to Apex Broadcasting; this marks Apex Broadcasting's first entry into the Savannah/Hilton Head market.[1] The sale, at a price of $450,000, was consummated on January 8, 2014.

On February 15, 2014, WGZO changed callsigns to WVSC. On February 21, 2014, WVSC changed formats to variety hits, branded as "SC 103".[1]

In early 2017, Apex Broadcasting sold their radio stations in Charleston and Hilton Head, South Carolina to Saga Communications for $23 million. At that time, theHD2 channel and itstranslators 99.1 W256CB and 106.5 W293BZ playedsoft adult contemporary music,[2] which later moved toWOEZ. The sale was consummated on September 1, 2017.
