History

Originally, this station was licensed to Moncks Corner, South Carolina and broadcast at 3000 watts. Eventually, the station got a power boost and changed its frequency to 105.3.

In the late 90s, WNST "New Star" played hot adult contemporary music.^{[citation needed]}

In December 1998, WCOO switched from adult contemporary to rhythmic oldies, becoming "Cool 105.3". Soon, WCOO made big ratings gains at the expense of WXLY.^[2] WXLY recovered but WCOO continued to improve.^[3]
