History

The station that would become WHVN on the 1240 frequency in Charlotte began operations in 1929 in Gastonia, North Carolina on 1210 kHz with the call letters WRBU. According to a 1930 Federal Radio Commission listing, the station had a power of 100 watts and was licensed to the "A. J. Kirby Music Company". Sometime in the 1930s the station's city of license was changed to Charlotte and the call sign was changed to WSOC, supposedly meaning "We Serve Our City". The 1941 North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA) mandated a change in frequency to 1240 kHz. In the late 1950s, most stations on "Class IV" (local) frequencies were allowed to increase their daytime power to 1,000 watts, and WSOC increased their daytime power as well. Also in the 1950s the owners of WSOC brought to the air WSOC-FM at 103.7 MHz, and WSOC-TV on VHF channel 9.
