The station signed on the air on August 19, 1986, as WGSF, licensed toArlington, Tennessee.[3] WGSF was owned by the Arlington Broadcasting Company. In the 1980s, Fred Flinn became the general manager of the station and would later acquire the station as part of his Flinn Broadcasting Corporation. In the late 1980s, WGSF's city of license was switched toBartlett, Tennessee, and its call letters changed to WMPS.
