WGSP-FM (102.3 FM, "La Tremenda FM") is a radio station licensed to the community of Pageland, South Carolina, and serving the greater Charlotte, North Carolina, area.

[edit] History
WCPL-FM was located in Pageland, South Carolina. In 1989, the station became WMAP-FM and began airing the same programming as WMAP in Monroe, North Carolina[4]. After WMAP-AM went off the air[5], the FM, later known as WRML, played Southern gospel music. In 2006, Norsan took over the station and made plans to move the transmitter closer to the metropolitan area[6]. Charlotte listeners began receiving the stronger signal in September 2007.[3]
The station was assigned the WGSP-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 26, 2007.[1]
