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.[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]
