History

The station signed on as WTSB-FM on Dec. 1, 1960, mostly simulcasting sister station WTSB. With only 6,500 watts, the station focused solely on the Lumberton area. The call letters were changed to WGSS in July 1979 [2] with the station carrying an MOR format. In 1985, the format was changed to country with new call letters WKML[3]. Soon after, the station increased power to 100,000 watts to cover the Fayetteville market[4]. WKML debuted in the Fayetteville ratings in 1986 with a 10.8 share[5] and it has frequently been at or near the top of the ratings since.
