WRNN-FM is a News/Talk radio station licensed to Socastee, South Carolina and serves the Grand Strand area. The station is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 99.5 MHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 21.5 kW. The station goes by the name Hot Talk WRNN and its current slogan is "The Grand Strand's News Talk Network."
The station airs Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Jim Bohannon, and Michael Savage. A daily early morning talk show, "The Hot Talk Morning Show" with Dave Priest, Pat Taylor and Liz Callaway airs from 6-10 a.m. giving locals a venue for live calls. National politicians, authors and newsmakers are interviewed on this top rated show. A portion of WRNN-FM's broadcast day is simulcast with 1450 WRNN from 9AM until 6 the next morning.
In early 1991, 94.1 became WKOA-FM, "Coast 94.5". The station was all Oldies from the mid-1950s-Mid 1970s. They played many Oldies songs that weren't being heard on WSYN Oldies Sunny 106.5. WKOA aired commercials stating that they had run a poll ad in the Myrtle Beach Sun News asking readers what kind of new radio station that they would like on the Grand Strand. Coast 94.5 claimed that the overwhelming answer was an Oldies station that played a lot of 1950s' and early 1960s' Oldies with old commercials and Old T.V. Theme songs played also. So, Coast 94.5 was born. However, their playlist wasn't really very large with a lot of repeats. By September 1992, the station was all talk WRNN-FM and featured the Tom Snyder Show.Don Imus was airing on WRNN prior to the mid-90s. In 1999, Kim Komando and Stephanie Miller (who replaced Love Phones) joined WRNN's lineup. WRNN also aired the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Rachel Roberts, promotions director for Pinnacle Broadcasting's Myrtle Beach stations (including WYAV, WYAK, and WMYB), joined Steve Porter in the mornings.
