History

In a deal announced in February 1997, Root Communications Ltd. announced plans to buy eight radio stations owned by Florence, South Carolina-based Atlantic Broadcasting, including WGSS. Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.

WGSS was "94.1 The Light," an Urban gospel station, prior to 2009.

At one time, WRZE simulcast WDAR and played adult contemporary music.

In 2012, Sunny 94.1 was flipped to Mainstream Urban "Swagga". It is also simulcast on WWRK.

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WRZE, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) for WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York as part of the sale of the WALK stations to Connoisseur Media. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
