[edit] Station History

In early 1991, WKWQ (now known as WZMJ) changed frequencies from 95.3 to 93.1, leaving the 95.3 frequency open. The frequency was reallocated to South Congaree by the FCC and after 2 years, the license was awarded to Glory Communications, who signed on WFMV in the fall of 1993.

Since then, WFMV has been consistently rated in the top 10 among the other Columbia radio stations.
