History
Ham radio operators started WTGR, a 250-watt station at 1520 AM, in 1965. Tiger Radio became "the hallmark radio station" for Myrtle Beach, playing Top 40 and beach music. DJs included Billy Smith, Bill Hennecy, Big Al Irvin, Bill Connell, Bruce Miller, Steve Mims and J. Patrick Milan.
WTGR began a simulcast of WKZQ-FM in the early 1980s and eventually became WKZQ. On December 23, 1996, WKZQ moved to 1450, a frequency vacated in the mid-1980s which once used the letters WMYB.
Banana Jack Murphy and Bob Scarborough of Waccamaw Media started TigerRadioOnline.com, an Internet radio station, in 2000, with jingles and music from the former WTGR. This station stayed on the air until 2005, operating from Waccamaw Media studios on Wesley Street near what is now Freestyle Music Park.
