I forgot this one!

It's 96.9 The Wolf now, for those who don't remember the letters anywhere but 1390, and they stood for Ecstasy.

This was the music on the cable station with community announcements in a single font on a bacground of pretty colors, until Joy 92 came along.
 
CSRA: 94 GOLD WMTZ
96 RXR Rocking two states loud and proud. WRXR
Sunny 105 WZNY

Midlands: WWGO 102.3
WAAS Star 93.5
WKWQ Rock 95.3
Windham Brothers on WNOK
WZLD Z-96
WLXC - The ticket 98.5
WGNH - Lighthouse 103.5

Charlotte: WBCY 108
WXRT 95.7
WROQ 95.1

Charleston: WYBB 98 ROCK Pre and post John Boy and Billy
WAVF 96.1 The Wave
WXTC 96.9
WKQB 107.5 - Michael D. and Kato Later With Steve Stephens
 
WBBO comes to mind when I lived in Charlotte. It was out of Forrest City NC for the GSP market as Power 93. Toddzilla was on in the AMs.

WNMX in Newberry was a guilty pleasure.
 
OMG Mix 106 in Newberry!!! I remember when they launched their audio sounded like it came through a telephone with no umph or anything... Around Oct of 90 right around the same time WCOS moved to 97.5 Mix finally got a STL... That was one weird station... First is was AC then who knows what else then it was who knows what else followed by you guessed it who knows what else till Country came to town then it was followed by Preaching and beggin'... CC1
 
In Columbia, I liked Yes 97 (WYYS-96.7) and C-103 (WMMC-103.1) in the late 1980s/early 1990s. To my ears, WNOK was kind of dull compared to its competitors, but pretty much always won out anyway. WYYS seemed to always be switching its DJs to different timeslots.

In Charleston, 96 Wave (WAVF-96.1) was my hands-down favorite in the 1990s. Earlier, I liked Q-107 (WKQB-107.5).

In the Augusta area... 96-RXR (WRXR-96.3), and Upstate... Kiss FM (WKSF-99.9) was a monster.
 
How about WNMB in North Myrtle Beach in the early '70s with Dick Biondi in the morning and the great Billy Smith in afternoon drive?

Hi Carroll,

Actually, I now live in Asheville, NC (moved last year) and loving life tremendously. While the radio dial is giving me a lot of what I like musically (in the form of 98.1 The River and WNCW), I wish that someone here would try CHR again (B93.7 doesn't count as it has some signal problems in various spots in the city)

Anyway, back on topic.

Robyn
 
I thought that Star 104.3 has tried to flip to CHR a few times. It seems that when Mark Andrews was there, they were leaning CHR at night. Something has to give between WOXL and Star, they are sounding to much a like at certain times of the day. B93.7 has a decent signal in Asheville, mostly the south side. I still think that Entercom needs to flip the WSPA 97.7 translator to WFBC. I think that would be a smart move. What do you all think?

If WOXL is AC, no reason not to.

I wish Clear Channel would get rid of WMXF and that WMXF would go back to good music. WMUU is a little TOO conservative and they have preaching.
 
WTGR-1520, Tiger Radio in Myrtle Beach during the late 1960s into the '70s, playing Top 40 - daytime only. It had the professional sound of a larger-market station. At that time the only other station in MB was WMYB-1450. Problem was, once one got as far away as Ocean Drive/Cherry Grove and Murrells Inlet, the directional signal, which originated at 1016 Ocala Street (downtown MB), was noticeably weak. And, even though the only other station on the Grand Strand before 1972 was WMYB, 1,000-watt WTGR received strong competition for MB radio listeners from 50,000-watt WAPE 690 in Jacksonville, Florida. What ultimately killed it, though, was FM.
