This lasted until late 1997 when the station shifted toward Modern AC as "Alice @ 100.5 under the WLLC call letters. Alice became a big success by Spring 1998 with its "Lilith Fair-type programming", though program director Todd Haller admitted a lot of people did not even know about the station. The station was purchased by Clear Channel Communications. It became WALC with the same format less than a year later. By 2001, the station had shifted toward more of a traditional Hot Adult Contemporary outlet. In 2004, the station flipped to Triple A as "100.5 The Drive", later transitioning to Alternative rock after the flip of WAVF. In 2006, the station was placed in Clear Channel Communications' Aloha Station Trust, LLC of stations to be sold due to FCC regulations. On November 26, 2008, it was announced that the station had been sold to Radio Training Group, who operates religious stations.〔"Deals," ''Broadcasting & Cable, December 15, 2009.〕 The company also operates WLFJ-FM in Greenville, SC and WAFJ-FM in Augusta, Georgia. The station switched to a Contemporary Christian music format on January 26, 2009. The Alternative rock format previously heard on 100.5 is now heard on WRFQ's HD subchannel. Previously, His Radio was only able to be heard in the area on two translators, at 91.1 and 91.9 FM. These are now translators relaying WHRZ from Spartanburg, South Carolina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WALC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
