    WGSP-FM (102.3 MHz) is a radio station licensed to the community of Pageland, South Carolina, and serving the greater Charlotte metropolitan area. The station is owned by Norsan Broadcasting of Atlanta, Georgia.[3] It airs a Spanish tropical music format.[4]

    History

    [edit]

    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.[5] After WMAP went off the air,[6] 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.[7] The programming was also aired on WXNC, at 1060 AM and WGSP, at 1310 AM.[8] Charlotte listeners began receiving the stronger signal in September 2007.[8]

    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.[4]

    As of 2013, WGSP-FM was called "Latina 102.3".[9]
