History
For many years WMAP was a 1000-watt station in Monroe, North Carolina. The station added an FM frequency at 102.3, but later separated from that station and eventually went off the air. After a two-year absence, it came back as WKRE in March 1997 before the move to Charlotte, which included a signal increase to 5000 watts.
After the move to Charlotte, WXNC was a talk station known as The Conversation Station. The announcement was made that WXNC would also be heard on WKMT at 1220 AM, also owned by Kevin and Kris Geddings. But Norsan Group bought WXNC and the station soon changed to its current format and began its simulcast of the "La Tremenda" network with WGSP. At one time WGSP-FM (formerly WRML) at 102.3 FM simulcast this station.
