History
The station became WWPD a.k.a. "The New Power 94 FM" in February 1988. In April 1993 the station changed its call sign to WLXP, and in March 1994 to the current WCMG.
WATP-AM 1430 and WATP-FM 94.3 were licensed to Marion, South Carolina. WATP-AM played country music, while WATP-FM played beautiful music. Then as WKXS a.k.a. "The New Kiss 94 FM" the FM station played country music before a switch to urban contemporary and gospel music late in the 1980s as WWPD a.k.a. "The New Power 94 FM"; the AM took over the WKXS letters and played oldies.
As WLXP this station was Christian country.
Later, WCMG was "Magic 94.3", playing urban adult contemporary music and featuring programming from ABC Radio.
On August 16, 2010 WCMG changed their format to active rock, branded as "94.3 The Dam".
On March 6, 2014 WCMG changed their format back to urban adult contemporary, branded as "Magic 94.3". The station changed at 9:43 am, after promoting for a few hours that "The MAGIC is coming back to the Pee Dee", and stunting with songs with the word "magic" in their names (culminating with "Black Magic Woman" by Santana.) The first song on the revived "Magic" was "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.
