WCKN (92.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA, the station serves the Charleston, South Carolina area. The station is currently owned by Apex Broadcasting, Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WCKN Facility Record )〕 The station's studios are located in Charleston (east of the Cooper River) and the transmitter tower is in Mount Pleasant. ==History== This station started out at 92.1 with 3,000 watts and the letters WTWE and was licensed to Manning, South Carolina.〔''Broadcasting and Cablecasting Yearbook'', 1986.〕 92.5 started as WHLZ "Wheels 92.5" in 1986, a country radio station, broadcasting at 100,000 watts. It was one of the biggest country stations in the Carolinas, with a signal from Lumberton, NC to Charleston, SC. 92.5 moved closer to Charleston in 2003 and became hot adult contemporary WCSQ "Coast 92.5," while the country format and WHLZ call letters moved to a smaller station licensed to Marion, South Carolina, near Florence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SC Radio Stations in South Carolina )〕〔http://whlz1005.com/showdj.asp?DJID=18506, Retrieved on 2009/02/03.〕 WCSQ changed its format to top 40 with the call letters WIHB in 2005 with the moniker B92. It mainly competed with the more established top 40 in the market, WSSX, although B92 had more of a rhythmic lean. In 2009, WIHB applied for a taller tower with power reduced to 77,000 watts.〔 On Friday, March 19, 2010, "B-92" flipped formats from top 40 to Mainstream Urban as "92-5 The Box." The station called itself "Charleston's New #1 for Hip-Hop" and featured the Rickey Smiley Morning Show from 6:00am to 10:00am. On May 31, 2011 WIHB changed their format to country, simulcasting WIOP 95.9 FM, which began its own format two weeks later. WIHB became WCKN "Kickin' 92.5", with Charlie James of WWNU as the morning host. In August 2013 WCKN began calling itself "New Country, Kickin’ 92.5." 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「WCKN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
