107.3 began as WANS-FM on August 1st, 1963. 107.3 WANS was a very highly rated Top 40 radio station for many years. They broadcasted out of studios in Anderson, SC on Clemson Blvd. After being a top 40 powerhouse for many years, owner Radio Anderson sold them to another local owner in 1988. The new owner drasticly cut staff, promotions, etc. Ratings dropped in a drastic way. By 1990, the station was bankrupt and then sold again. WANS-FM flipped from top 40 to adult contemporary-formatted WWMM as "Magic 107.3" in February 1991 after the station was sold to new owners. In 1994, due to low ratings and facing competition from WMYI and WSPA-FM, the adult contemporary format was dropped. 107.3 WWMM changed format and call letters to urban contemporary as "107.3 JAMZ", WJMZ. WJMZ carried the station slogan, "The Peoples' Station" until 2003, in which it changed to "Today's R&B". WJMZ-FM earned a Marconi award as Urban station of the year from the National Association of broadcasters in 2009 and another for medium market personality of the year in 2010.
They also recently added the addition slogan to the moniker, "50 Minutes of Music Every Hour", a slogan on other Cox Radio owned radio stations.
