History:

This station dates back to an original construction permit issued to Big South Community Broadcasting for a noncommercial station on 90.1 MHz, licensed to Hamilton.  The permit was originally granted in early February 2022 for 3.5 kW from 302 feet HAAT (Height Above Average Terrain) from a fire watch tower just off I-22 southwest of the city of Hamilton.  At the end of February, the station received a modification permit for 6.5 kW at 246 feet HAAT from the same watchtower.  In mid-July 2024, a license to cover was filed for this facility.
