WVSC is an adult hits formatted radio station known as "SC 103" targeted towards the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The station signed on in 1985 on 92.1 with a 3,000 watt signal broadcasting from St. Helena Island, about 10 miles east of Beaufort. Because it was so close to WSGA-FM on 92.3, the station was limited in its transmitter power. In 1999, the station swapped frequencies with WBHC-FM on 103.1 to get a better signal into Savannah. The station has difficulties reaching listeners in Savannah because of its inferior signal. In January 2006 the station was given permission by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move its tower closer to Savannah.
On November 11, 2013, L & L Broadcasting sold WGZO to Apex Broadcasting; this marks Apex Broadcasting's first entry into the Savannah/Hilton Head market.[1] The sale, at a price of $450,000, was consummated on January 8, 2014.
On February 15, 2014, WGZO changed their call letters to WVSC. On February 21, 2014, WVSC changed their format to adult hits, branded as "SC 103".
