[edit] History
WCIG was an urban adult contemporary and gospel station in Mullins, South Carolina prior to 1995. The station increased from 3000 to 50,000 watts and moved to Myrtle Beach with the new name WWSK "107.1 The Shark" and the format "Mega Hits" (actually hot adult contemporary). John Boy and Billy were on in the morning. Later Lex and Terry did the morning show, followed by Bob and Tom.
The Shark's music changed several times. First it switched to modern rock. Then it became "107.1 The Fox", playing rock oldies. "The Fox" later played "Classic Rock That Really Rocks". For several years prior to 2007, The Sound was a classic hits station in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which told listeners, "It's all about the music".[1]Then the station switched to Variety Hits, with the slogan "We play it all" and "The Grand Strand's Largest Music Library".[2]
On February 18, 2008, WQSD flipped to urban adult contemporary. Earlier in the month, Qantum Communications, WQSD owner announced the purchase of Variety Hits WYNA 104.9 BOB-FM out of Calabash, NC[3], which has been doing much better in the ratings then 107.1 The Sound has.[4]
