WWOS (810 AM) is a noncommercial radio station licensed to Walterboro, South Carolina, United States, serving the Charleston metropolitan area. Currently owned by Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg, it features a Christian format, along with Southern gospel music, operating during the daytime hours only.
WWOS's programming is heard around the clock on co-owned WWOS-FM (91.9) in St. George, and on WPOG in St. Matthews.
History
The station signed on the air on August 23, 1962. The original call sign was WQIZ. It broadcast on 1300 kHz with 500 watts, as a daytimer.[2] Its original city of license was St. George, South Carolina. In the 1970s, it moved to AM 810 and received a boost in power to 5,000 watts, but still limited to daytime hours only. It played R&B music and was programmed for the African American community of Charleston and nearby communities.
WQIZ was sold in 2015 to the Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg. The station switched its call sign to WWOS[citation needed] and its new city of license became Walterboro, after the sale of WALI to Apex Media, which had plans to move WALI to Hilton Head.[3]
