History
The station signed on the air in September 1968.[5] It was licensed to Walterboro, South Carolina. The call sign had been WALD-FM, the sister station to WALD 1060 AM, which is now dark.[1]
William Saunders owned R&B radio station WPAL 730 AM, which had long served the African-American community in Charleston. In 1994, Saunders bought the FM frequency and moved it to Charleston. He changed the format to urban adult contemporary, with the call sign WPAL-FM.[6]
The Hope Media Group acquired the station in 2010. It switched the station to non-commercial Christian Contemporary music, supplied by its WAY-FM network. The call letters changed to WAYA-FM. Most stations owned by Hope Media have WAY in their call signs.
