WCSZ was a radio station in Greenville, South Carolina, and was one of the only three 50kW radio stations in the state, the other two being WLFJ-AM, also in Greenville, and WAGL-AM in Lancaster. The station went dark in July, 2007, after recently airing Sports Talk, urban contemporary gospel, and most recently Oldies, with the last two formats being entirely satellite-fed.
On July 19, 2007, the FCC issued a "STA" which is the process that allows a station to officially remain off the air for up to six months, at the end of which the station must have returned to the air or surrender its broadcasting license.[1]. The justification for the STA was "TO CONSERVE ASSETS WHILE PURSUING FUNDING, THE LICENSEE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AUTHORITY TO REMAIN SILENT FOR 180 DAYS."[2]
WCSZ was known by the calls of WHYZ-AM, signing on the air May 26th, 1966. WHYZ in the 1960s and 1970s had featured a Top-40 format and later an Urban Contemporary format.
