[edit] Station History
WNOK-FM signed on by the late 1950's, simulcasting much of WNOK-AM's programming which consisted of Pop Standards. During the 1960's, WNOK-FM broke off of simulcasting when WNOK-AM went Top 40 and went to the Beautiful Music format. This format remained until 1975, when the format was changed to automated Top 40 as "Stereo 105". This move proved to be a wise decision as the station enjoyed huge ratings for the remainder of the 70's and into the 80's.
By 1980, the automation was done away with, replaced with a live airstaff and the station's name became simply "105 WNOK". By early 1984, the station became "104.7 WNOK", which became the first station in Columbia to adopt their digital frequency as part of their name.
The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications, which also owns Country WCOS-FM, Urban WXBT, Variety Hits WLTY, News/Talk WVOC, and Sports/Talk WCOS in the Columbia radio market.
