The station featured programming from NBC's Blue Network (which later became the ABC Radio Network) as well as local programming. In 1958, the station stunted by playing Sammy Kaye's "I Wish I Was In Dixie" over a period of 24 hours before switching over to the "Top 60 in Dixie" playlist, a format that it kept for the next 20 years under various monikers like "Super COS", and "Position 14". In 1980, after being beaten in the ratings by rival FM Top 40 WNOK, WCOS changed over to Country, simulcasting parts of the broadcasting day of their sister FM, WCOS-FM. In the early 1990s, the station adjusted its format to satellite-fed Classic Country, but went back to simulcasting WCOS-FM within a year's time. In 1995, WCOS switched to CNN Headline News. In 1996, WCOS adopted its present Sports talk format. In 2007, WCOS re-branded itself as "The Team". On January 3, 2012, programming from WCOS shifted to the more powerful WXBT AM 560, and WCOS became "Hallelujah 1400", a inspiration Gospel station. On November 6, 2014 WCOS changed their format to sports, branded as "Fox Sports Radio 1400".〔(WVOC Columbia Returns to 560; Sports Moves to 1400 )〕 The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications, which owns Country WCOS-FM, CHR WNOK, Variety Hits WLTY, Urban contemporary WXBT and News/Talk WVOC in the Columbia radio market. 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「WCOS (AM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
