WSSI (92.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA, the station serves the Brunswick area. The station is currently owned by Golden Isles Broadcasting, LLC.

History

The station went on the air as WPFI on December 4, 1989. On February 4, 1991, the station changed its call sign to WMOG-FM, on December 8, 1995 to WVVV, on April 5, 1996 to WHFX, on April 4, 2005 to WBGA, on September 8, 2014 to WMOG, and on June 1, 2016 to the current WSSI.

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WBGA, to Clear Channel Communications for WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York as part of the sale of the WALK stations to Connoisseur Media. Clear Channel, in turn, committed to putting WBGA into a divestiture trust (Brunswick Station Trust LLC) to satisfy concentration limits. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.

On September 8, 2014, WBGA changed their format to classic hits, branded as "Big 92.7", under new call letters, WMOG.

On February 19, 2016, iHeartMedia sold WMOG to local competitor, Golden Isles Broadcasting, LLC, for $225,000.

On June 1, 2016, coincident with the consummation of the sale to Golden Isles Broadcasting, WMOG changed its call sign to WSSI, and relaunched the following day as "92.7 SSI".
