History

WCPL-FM was located in Pageland, South Carolina. In 1989, the station became WMAP-FM and began airing the same programming as WMAP in Monroe, North Carolina.^[4] After WMAP went off the air,^[5] the FM, later known as WRML, played Southern gospel music. In 2006, Norsan took over the station and made plans to move the transmitter closer to the metropolitan area.^[6] The programming was also aired on WXNC, at 1060 AM and WGSP, at 1310 AM.^[7] Charlotte listeners began receiving the stronger signal in September 2007.^[7]

The station was assigned the WGSP-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 26, 2007.^[1]

On January 1, 2009, "La Raza" began airing on WOLS, which Norsan Media began leasing, and WGSP-FM simulcast WOLS for a short time before a switch to tropical music / Latin pop format.^[3]

As of 2013, WRML was called "Latina 102.3".^[8]
