History

Originally, this station was licensed to Moncks Corner, South Carolina and broadcast at 3,000 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.

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]
