WWNQ, also known as Country Legends 94.3, is a radio station located in Columbia, South Carolina. The station is licensed by the FCC to the Columbia suburb of Forest Acres, South Carolina and broadcasts at 94.3 FM with a ERP of 2,550 watts.

Station History

The frequency for 94.3 was allocated to Forest Acres by the FCC in the fall of 1996. In order to make way for the new station, WPUB located in nearby Camden, South Carolina, changed its frequency from 94.3 to 102.7 in 1998.

After several years of planning and delays, WWNQ finally signed on under test authority in the fall of 2004 with a mixture of various songs from different genes of music in order to not tip off other stations in the market the true format for the new station. After testing was completed, the station signed on in November with its current Classic Country format.

The station is owned by Double O Radio of South Carolina, which also owns Country WWNU in the Columbia radio market.
