WZTF (102.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Urban Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Scranton, South Carolina, USA, the station serves the Florence, South Carolina area. The station is currently owned by Qantum of Florence License Company, LLC.[2]

History

WSQN was adult contemporary before becoming a soft AC station airing a syndicated format from Broadcast Programming called AC45+.[3] Its later formats included oldies[4] and, under Root Communications, "Old school" R & B oldies.[5][6] As WURV ("The River") it was classic rock,[7] and it was modern rock "Rock 102.9"[8] and then classic hits "102.9 the Point" using the letters WWRK.[9]

In a deal announced in February 1997, Root Communications Ltd. announced plans to buy eight radio stations owned by Florence-based Atlantic Broadcasting, including WSQN.[10] Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.[4]

Translators

In addition to the main station, WZTF has an additional translator to widen its broadcast area.
