The 100.9 frequency used to be in Walterboro, South Carolina. William Saunders owned WPAL, an AM station at 730. In 1994, Saunders bought the FM frequency and moved it to Charleston, changing to urban adult contemporary, wi.th the letters WPAL-FM.[1]
During the station's days as the hottest local rap/hip-hop/R&B station in the Charleston area (What's Hot This Summer, Charleston Chronicle - Summer 2001), on-air personalities such as Gentleman George and his protege, Jeff Fox, dominated the airwaves, giving the Charleston area residents a reason to turn on the radio.
