WOMG

WOMG is a country music station licensed to Lexington, South Carolina and serves the Columbia, South Carolina market. The Cumulus Media outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 98.5 MHz with an ERP of 6 kW. The station goes by the name 98.5 Nash Icon. Its studios are located at the Granby Building in Cayce and the transmitter is in Columbia northeast of downtown.

History

98.5 was allocated in the early 1990s as part of an FCC docket that would allow the Columbia metro area several new radio stations. The license was eventually awarded to Lexington Communications, which applied for the WLXC call letters. Before construction started, Lexington Communications agreed to sell the station to HFS Communications, another group, on the condition that WLXC was operated by the company for a period of one year before completing the transaction. Studios for the station were constructed in the town of Lexington while the transmitting facilities were built near the village of Red Bank.
