Two low power FMs starting in CHS

What are the formats?

Unless one is lucky enough to pick up 100.7 FM in Georgetown, and with both 100.5 and 100.9 occupied, I imagine they can't, good music in Charleston is hard to find ever since 95. FM gave up on it.
 
The 96.3 station just signed on at 11 o'clock. Pretty good signal for just 25 watts.

A little worse than 99.3, but coming in clear here on James Island.

They have a lot of eclectic programs. Pretty much a Charleston version of WNCW or KPIG.

You basically have to be on the Charleston peninsula to get a clear signal. Even on James Island it is scratchy in a lot of places, even in car. In Mt. Pleasant you can only hear it on the side closest to the Ravenel Bridge. You can hear it on Daniel Island decent, and the part of West Ashley closest to downtown.

They do have an online feed.
 
Yet another LP has come on. WMHE, owned by local Catholic Church Blessed Sacrament, at 102.9.

They were playing mystery theater programs when I tuned in. Their transmitter is on the 730 AM transmitter in West Ashley.

They have 100 watts, and are coming in well throughout West Ashley along with James and John's Island.

The station owned by the library on 97.5 has signed on the air. I heard it yesterday. Mostly local music. It has a good signal downtown, but once you get outside, it gets interfered with by WCOS.

WYLA. Playing 90% local music with a handful of currents and oldies of the alternative/college-rock variety. Signal fills the 526 arc pretty well, but is blasted in mid-MTP by the Venning Road big sticks.
Surprisingly makes a decent signal down 17 to Ravenel. [email protected] Friends-of-WYLA-FM
 
It has a decent amount of listeners for an LP. Them and Ohm Radio are pretty good for local music in this market. They actually serve a need for that music.

102.1, another FM that signed on in the past year (The City, also simulcast on 92.1 and 1450 AM) also serves a niche, oldies music (we hadn't had an oldies station previously since 98.9 flipped to ESPN).
